Dragons / Unicorns
| I love these ones. Hear, See, and Speak no Evil. Classic with a twist. |
| Most of my figurines I get from collectiblestoday.com although I have gotten a lot from thingsfromtheheart.com; both sites have some awesome things. All of my unicorn figurines I believe have come from collectiblestoday.com, theres a link to that one below. And I should note that the pictures are not in any kind of scale in relation to the other pictures. |

| This one is a salt and pepper shaker holder. Hella cute, huh? |
| The ones below and directly to the right grace the top of my desk. The three unicorns are from the "Armored Unicorn" collection and those three are the only ones of that group I got. Most collections have about 10-15 figurines, but depending on their coloring, I sometimes won't get all of them in a specific collection. The dragon is actually pretty cool, the pillar it's sitting on is actually a little box and on its back is a candle holder. :) |
| The two left front are from the "Jeweled Unicorn" collection. The dragon in the back left (the candleholder) is one that I got from Treasure Island when I went to Vegas for my 21st birthday with a friend. |
| These two pictures are of a three shelved "display" that I have in the living room. You can see a little of my Camelot Castle puzzle on the very bottom of the picture on the left. It sits on the bottom shelf and there is a complete picture of that particular one on my puzzles page. Above is just a close up of the second shelf. The 6 in the back are from my "Treasure Dragons" collection, of which you'll see more of in the following pics. |
| Nov 3, '07 - To the left is one of my favorite collections. It was finally completed about the end of August, but i just got around to taking a picture to put up on here. The colors are a little off, I am discovering that the light in my room has a yellow tint to it. But what can you do. The first issue in the series (January's dragon) i got the end of October of 2005 and there were a total of 13 issues (the calendar display was one of them). So you can see that more than a couple got backordered since I just got December's dragon in August. But I have them all now and I am very happy. I got this series off of collectiblestoday.com but I have no idea if it is still available. Since they are collectibles, they are only offered for a certain number of days. |
| Some of the dragon statues are battery operated and light up and they come in all sizes, from 4" tall to 18" tall. |
| These are the dragon and unicorn figurines that I currently have. While this is in no way a complete showing, this gives some idea of my favorite decor. |
| I don't normally go for the picture frames but these were hard to resist. |
| These are also a few of my favorites because they are candle holders. The tops have four dragons each (the same dragon, just on all four sides) and the bottom pieces also have four dragons surrounding the base. The detailing on the bottom dragons is very intricate considering how small they are. The bases are only 3" tall. |
| This is one of the other collections that I only got a few of. The dragons are (from left to right) "Surging Waters", "Molten Chasm", and "Icy Abyss". All of the figurines have names, but to type them all would be a really long list. :) You can't see a lot of the detailing of the images on the wings, but they're amazing, as are the castles carved into the plastic bases. |
| March 28, '08 - Dad's office building is going through remodeling, so they were getting rid of a lot of the furniture. Well, this bookcase was one of the ones he brought home and I promptly decided it was perfect for displaying dragons since the shelves are only a little deeper than dvds. The topmost row of figurines is from the "Jeweled Unicorn" collection. They are technically "alicorns", since they have wings. Unicorns have only a horn, pegasus have only wings but its called an alicorn when it has both. The second and third shelves have the remaining figurines from the "Treasure Dragons" collection. I have 14 of the 15 in the collection, but I didn't get the missing one because the green coloring of the dragon wasn't a good color. |
| Well, when I took this picture, I didn't expect the flash to reflect off the black alicorn like this, but it's kinda a cool effect. When I got this one, I was afraid it would break on contact. It looks so delicate. :) I don't normally go for the glass and gold look, but I couldn't resist. Although the base is actually acrylic, I think, not glass. The craftsmanship and detailing are exquisite though. |
| June '09 - This is my newest collection. "Knights of the Dragons' Round Table". This is one of the ongoing series, I'm still getting issues for it. The latest issue I just got a couple weeks ago. I got a close up of the table so you could see how much detailing goes into these collections. Its just amazing to me the talent that people have to create. The first issue was the purple dragon in the back, "King Starwing the Righteous". With most collections from collectiblestoday.com, you get the first figurine and then the stand, frame, table, whatever is the second issue, then the third issue starts up again with the remaining figurines. |
