Games Workshop 1987 Imperial dragon ?

[Chris S]

I have a Games Workshop 1987 Great Imperial Dragon by Nick Bibby.

http://www.solegends.com/citdragon/drag5gimp/index.htm

It is missing one piece which is the decorative skull for the base, other than that it is all there and
never been pinned together, it was stuck together once and painted, it is now back in its parts
and stripped of paint.

It is just laying in the bottom of a drawer in my painting room, so......................

Anybody have any idea how much this could be worth to a collector ?

Not a huge amount I'm afraid, maybe £50. This one is up on eBay for £100, which it may or may not sell for, you never can tell: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CITADEL-D...pt=UK_Toys_RolePlaying_RL&hash=item1c11d959b3

The skull is easily replaced with a rock, I used to have one of those skulls but I probably threw it away, I cleared out a lot junk in the Summer.

Ugh, that's hideous! Looks like one of those appalling Citadel Dragons.

I actually really like some of the old school miniatures. They look raw and classic, I am just 25 but I wish I was older in the fact that I want to get a hold of these minis when they were still $.50 to $2.00 a piece. Great looking piece.

It's a Classic Old School sculpt and some people may be willing to go the "Arm & a Leg" route to own it, other Dracophiles, such as me not so much.

It all depends on, who , how and the day an auction, but for me that type of sculpt doesn't work for the type of painting I'm currently doing, there's too much "bright and garish" history associated with it for a "Realistic" type of painting to work.

OK, thanks all.
