Collectible Dragons 5462, 5463, 5465 at TRU
« on: October 12, 2013, 01:41:54 »
I can't find a thread for this series, so forgive me if I'm doubling up.

I picked up one of each of these sets at TRU today. They're in silvery-blue resealable pouches. The dragons are yellow(stone), red(fire) and black(lightning) respectively, with some armor (helmet, shoulders, arms, tail & greaves), and each comes with an Asian figure.

The red and black dragons are the same moulding, the yellow one is different, which leads me to think there's at least one more in the series that wasn't on the shelves.

Each dragon also includes a 'code for Dragon Online Game', but neither the game nor the sets appear to have reached the US site yet.

There are some neat new (to me) weapons including a Naginata, double-ended Katana, and a scimitar. The helmet on the klicky in 5465 is new to me too.

They were $11.99 each at TRU. Not dreadful for a klicky & a dragon, but I won't be buying multiples.

Hello Martin,
They're already on the TRU shelves and not on the US Playmobil site?
Looks like they arrived early!
Here they are ...

That's the ones. I didn't see a shelf tag for the Blue/Ice Dragon, but I might have overlooked it.

The dragions have klicky size hands so they can hold the usual stuff. Their lower jaws move but the heads are not otherwise articulated. Their arms and feet are articulated at the hips and shoulders. No tail movement.

Not a bad Dragon figure, but more anthropomorphic than most.

Not a fan of it myself, just seems rather weird.

Gues the fun part is putting other stuff in their hands for pictures. Like tea cups, a lawnmower or dentist tools.

Nice to hear they are showing up. They have all 4 plus the other two large dragon centric sets listed on the TRU website but not available for shipping yet.

Just picked up 3 bags last night. I want all the other ones for the boys as they love all the playmobil dragons. The $12 price was a bit high so I will wait till a sale for the boxed ones and multiples of the bags.

If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

The boys opened up the bags and we all really like the small dragons. The ability to hold thins is great and is very useful.

One problem we had was on the red dragon the tab for the wing was broken. It would have had to happen at the factory as the spot where it was supposed to be is a bit damaged. The other is the lower mandible falls off easily. The tail armor so falls of but at least that makes sense but your jaw??

We will be getting many more dragons for our collection

The tail armor so falls off ...

Walter, you really have to push hard on the "tail armor" until it clicks. It's not easy and most children might not have the strength in their hands to do it. However, Walter, I know you and you're definitely strong enough ...   :lol:

Are the wings removable?  If so how are they attached, are they similar to the fairies?   ???

The wings have circular holes which fit over circular studs on the shoulders, just like the winged Klickies. Not sure about Fairies' wings.

The wings can be posed within a single plane.
