A hybrid between a display figure and a kit, Dragon brings you the best of both worlds. The use of model kit techniques allow Dragon Models to reproduce the intricate details and sharp lines to maximize the usage of the official 3D character scans. The use of the static display concept ensures that there are no cooling lines on the torsos and no visible ball joints that are prominent in most "action" figures. Additionally, the figures are set in a Marvel suggested pose so that the body portions won't be deformed when the poses are changed.
In essence these are Highly collectible display models Developed in 3D, using official data from Marvel. They are supposedly Highly detailed and accurate, cast in Dynamic poses with diorama bases, Fully colored and textured to movie likeness. Minimal assembly required, simply "plug and display". Certainly an alternative to collecting the whole series of armor suits seen in "Iron Man 3".

Lots of different armors to collect and that's not even all of them.
Dragon's trying to jump on the Iron Man bandwagon but not sure whether they'll succeed; these aren't exactly flying off the store shelves at Universal Models.
ReplyDeleteI've seen this kits up close, assembled and in spures, they're fairly medicore but expensive, almost HK$700 for unposable kits is ridiculous. If in 1/6, collectors could buy these to complement their HT Iron Men, but 1/9??
Thanks Tony for the feedback. It's always good to hear from collectors who have actually seen the product up close and can give us an honest assessment. Much appreciated :) cheers
ReplyDeleteHonestly, i think that dragon models is doing very well! These new kits are very detailed,great poses and stability, and about the price, 50÷60 € it's not expensive for me, considering the overall quality! Even if they're not poseable, when you paint a model kit like these, and put it in a case, thrust me you'll never move it!
ReplyDeleteThe last i've got it's the mark 38 Igor Armor...it's freaking huge!!
