Editorial Review

When a battle takes place somewhere with the name "Dragon Mountain", you can be confident that the fighting will be anything but dull and ordinary. Sure enough, in this sprawling 255-piece set from Mega Bloks, the action is likely to be pitched and furious as the forces of fire and ice come together in epic war. Dev and Kyra lead the Draigar and Norvagen (both good guys) forces against the Ice Vorgan hordes as the good dragon Lumendraconis battles the evil Frenkuhl. Both dragons are nicely articulated and features mouths that open with the help of a lever on their backs and chests that light up. The Dragon Mountain set sports a working rail system as well as an icy peak that busts apart when struck to reveal a fiery dragon skull. Of course its all Mega Bloks so the component bricks can be used to create a radically different set or append to existing sets to build configurations limited only by the builders imagination. One note: Kyra looks like Angelina Jolie playing Marilyn Manson. --Charlie Williams ... Read more

Maybe
I have heard so much about this ship. I can't wait till i get it in july 2005 for my birthday. I hope this ship is really over 30 in. long. This ship should lead all of your dragon toys. A must have. I highly recommend it.

This set is really really huge!
This set is so coooool! It comes with two dragons!15 figures! And many ,little features like the avalanche thing at the top! or the working mine cart! this I think all kids should have bacause it teaches you how to become a better builder and it is just awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Trust me It's that cool)

Will not stay together
I bought this for my 8 year old son. We spend about 2 hours putting it together. Easy to assemble but near impossible to stay together for play. we returned the toy as it frustrated my boys. ... Read more

Good but not great.
I got this set for my birthday.I liked it,because it was very
realistic.It had real cloth for sails.It also had 12 soldiers.It
was easier to build than other sets.But I think that they should have aded more Draigar.All in all it was a good set.

durable fun and uh durable
There was a guy somewhere up there called Michal Harringer and I think he has some serious issues, to say mega blocks is a cheap substitute to lego, hwell I'm a lego fan so i will support them but mega blocks is not a cheap substitute, they're artists. They don't do the rubbish lego do even if there bricks arn't as good, they give fine quality products like this Man'o'war. Durable detailed artistic in fact i think you and lego are jealous.

Editorial Review

The Vorgans, those dastardly invaders who continue to wreak havoc upon their unfortunate neighbors are at it again. This time theyve raided a Norvagen shipyard and captured an impressive Man-O-War ship. Or at least most of one. The ship wasnt actually done yet but in a somewhat unusual bit of subcontracting, theyve enlisted an evil Ice Dragon to round out their arsenal and attack both the Norvagens and the poor people of Draigar. This kit features 190 pieces with which you can build the nefarious dragon GulKhan who, when completed, features jaws that open and close using a trigger on his back and a chest that lights up. The half-completed ship is also featured with a spring-loaded cannon, a magnetic rotating mast, and a few little warrior guys. The story line gets a little thick but we still like the intricate set up that Mega Bloks offers here and young kids with vivid imaginations will appreciate not only the big scary dragon but the infinite adaptability of this set which affords plenty of creative building opportunities. How would this crew fair against a set of LEGO Bionicle fighters? Thats up to your imagination. --Charlie Williams ... Read more

Coolest set around
Having captured an unfinished Man'O'War from a Norvagen shipyard, the Ice Vorgans, Gortaz, Cryocrag, Chilloc and Burroc, transformed it into the Ice Fang. Enlisting the help of an ancient Ice Dragon called Gul'Khan(cool name!), the Ice Fang is pulled across the sea, being attached with a special harness to Gul'Khan. They launch surprise attacks on the Draigar and Norvagen coasts, while 3 unlucky Fyren prisoners, Aegisblaze, Ardentsmite and Fireheart,fight for their lives against a brutal Vorgan beast called Tuhg. As Gortaz, captain of the Ice Fang, watches the Fyren warriors get eaten one by one(Rome's gladitorial events anyone?), the Ice Vorgans reach their first unsuspecting coast........ Comes with Dragon parts to be fixed(Adult assistance might be required), 190 pieces, 4 Ice Vorgans and 3 Fyren warriors. Includes working cannon and working magnetic crane! COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

GREAT GIFT
It took my son and I about 1 hour to put together, But It was the coolest looking one yet. My son has been collecting these for 3 years. Man-o-war was his best one, Now it is this one. Even His grandma liked this one. He plays with it all the time. He Loves ever thing about it. I would Buy another one if I had to.

The orcs have their own Man O' War.
This set has all the pieces you need to construct a modified "Man O'War" sea-faring vessel with working cannon and movable crane.You also get seven warrior figures with weapons and shields, and two dragons, who are the stars of the show.

The first thing I looked at when I was finished unpacking all of the pieces was the dragons.A large ice dragon and a small ice dragon.The large ice dragon is very similar to the ice dragon from the Dragon Mountain set.He's about twice the size of the dragons that come in the Dragon Eggs sets.About as big as the Krystal Wars sea dragons.Shorter tail, stands taller, smaller wings.A pretty good size.

He sports a somewhat duller finish than Dragon Mountain's ice dragon, but it still has a nice glossy effect.He's also a different color.Off-white (almost yellowish) with dark blue highlights on his claws, belly, and head.He looks sort of like a bone dragon (bony neck, tail, and limbs).His wings have an icy look, and his head has two large, curving ice horns.I really like the ice dragon from Dragon Mountain, so this guy holds plenty of appeal for me.

The articulation here is a mixed bag.If you haven't already journeyed with me to visit Dragon Mountain, I'll run through this guy's posability features.His hind legs are stiff and can only be moved back and forth (they can't move away from his body).But it gets much better.His fore-arms can move up, down, and away or toward his body.Nice, but here's the really good part.Not only do his fore-arms bend at the eblows, they're also articulated with ball joints!Awesome!His fore-arms offer up some super posability.His wings also sport ball joints.Equally awesome!These are some truly great wings.That's the good news.His tail is somewhat flexible, but I don't find that particularly useful.If you bend his tail and then let go, it'll spring back to its original position.His neck and head don't move.His jaw opens, but it snaps shut when you let go.A button on his back opens his jaw while his belly glows a bright blue.Let go of the button, and the light slowly fades away while his jaw closes.

As I said, a mixed bag.The ball joints are everything an action figure afficionado could ask for.Even the shoulder joints are cool.They allow for some great posability.I would've preferred that his hind legs be likewise articulated along with movable head and tail, but his strengths outweigh his weaknesses.This dragon stands among the best dragons yet.He's an impressive action figure, and he looks great.

The smaller ice dragon is a Vorgan cave dragon from the Krystal Wars series with a dull white finish, dark blue highlights, and hairy dragon mane.

This set comes with seven warriors.Kind of a small number for such a large set, but there are some characters here that we haven't seen before.There are three Vorgan orcs with hairy mane on their back.These guys are very cool.The fourth orc doesn't have a hairy mane.Three Fyren warriors round out our cast of characters.The Fyren are a mixture of Norvagen Marauders and Draigar Knights from the Krystal Wars series, all painted dark red.As always, our battle-ready combatants get an assortment of weapons and shields.

Now, let's look at the Vorgan Ice Fang.Essentially, this large sea-going vessel is a modified Norvagen Man O' War.It features the same hull pieces as the Man O' War and a different front piece.The paint job on the sides of the hull is excellent.A mixture of flowing light blues with icy Vorgan shields along the sides of the ship.The walls of the aft cabin and other wooden elements have white highlights to make it look like they've been exposed to snow and ice.A nice touch.

The front of the ship is an ice plow with a crystalline dragon head sculpture.You can lift the sculpture, attach a short mast in the front, and then attach that to a harness for the large dragon so that he can tow the ship.Chains can be hooked to the harness for an orc atop the crows nest to hold (there are special pieces that the orc figure's hands can grab).

The Vorgan Orcs aren't as sophisticated as the Norvagen sailors.This vessel has no sails and only one tall mast with a crows nest.Around the mast is a typical Vorgan wooden tower structure, and attached to the mast is a movable crane with magnetic claw for picking up a warrior.This crane isn't adjustable like the one from Vorgan Stronghold.The aft cabin is only one story tall.The ship's hold is large enough to house the cave dragon.

Structurally, the completed model is about as good as the Man O' War.Pretty durable.The mast and wooden tower are stable and won't threaten to come loose during play.The boat is also easy to construct, for the most part.There were just a couple parts that I had a bit of difficulty with, but with some effort I got them to work.I gave this toy a good educational rating because you have to build the two dragons (as opposed to just opening a pre-made action figure).The set also provides a good building experience.

All said and done, this set is either awesome or just nice.The awesome thing about it is that you can place it next to the Man O' War and have a ship-to-ship battle like in a pirate movie, with cannons blasting away and warriors boarding the opposing vessel to do battle.By itself, the Vorgan Ice Fang is somewhat less impressive than the Man O' War, but it still has a charm of its own.My verdict:thumbs up.There's plenty of cool stuff going on here (pun intended this time). ...

Review for PORTAL OF FIRE
This toy is perfect for kids who like The Lord Of The Rings and other Fantasy Legends.This toy is so Awsum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So cool to look at, so frustrating to build!
This is the second Megabloks large Dragon series set I have purchased for my son.He loves all things dragon/fantasy/medieval in nature and even though we were frustrated with the first Dragon set we bought (2 years ago), I went ahead and bit again.

We love the looks of the sets.The dragons are all very cool and we love that all the warriors are unique.My son keeps the posters that accompany the sets on his walls and likes to learn each character's name.We've had some luck constructing some of the smaller sets recently which is why I went ahead and bought the Poral of Fire for his birthday.He is too young to build them himself so that leaves me.

Megabloks could do some work on the illustrations in the instruction book.It is very difficult to determine if you are setting up these large, multi-level pieces in exactly the right place which is entirely necessary if you want to put it all together at the end and have it work.Lego does a much, much better job at their directions.I also find that the Megabloks do not always fit together easily, snap into place or stay connected once you have put them together.This set in particular comes with several columns that are incredibly unstable.You think you have it together, go to add on the next level and the columns slip out of place - extremely frustrating.I am also concerned that once I do get it all together one rough battle and the whole thing might collapse.

However, I must say that my son loves it.Even during the long construction period he was busy playing with the characters and the dragon.Most amusing was the discussion some of the characters were having about the construction of the castle - "wow, this castle sure is taking a long time to be built.""Yes, we were hoping to move in before the big storm comes." and like this.

Will I buy another Megabloks set?I like the smaller ones.My kids love the big stuff.Maybe in two years I will try again - they are awfully cool to look at.

best toy EVER!!!
This toy is a very fun toy because the peoples armor have such good texture and detail. Dragons portal of fire is a great toy because it comes with the characters Thoron the dragon king, Fyren Olsef, Xenos, 3 fyren warriors, and 1 ice vorgan warrior. This toy also has 2 gaint statues of warriors. It also the castle has good visual texture. Also it has two towers in one. All of these reasons are why the portal of fire is the best toy ever and if anyone eles tells you other wise there WRONG!!! ... Read more

DRAGONS: Fire & Ice movie signature set!Super awesome!!
A lot of people completely misunderstand how this set is supposed to work, so I feel compelled to review it for customers as it is one of my favorites.

The Fire Storm Fortress depicts a sceen from the MEGA BLOKS movie: Fire & Ice in which the Vorgans led by the evil wizard Xenos have captured the king of the Draigar armies, Fyren Olsef.Imprisioned in the bottom levels of Xenos' ice mountian and watched by the Vorgan guards he cannot lead his army without aid.

Enter the prince of the Norvagen, Dev, who has recently befriended Olsef's daughter and commited himself to uniting the waring kingdoms of the Draigar and Norvagen against Xenos and his Vorgans.With the aid of the remaining Dragons, particularly the flame dragon, Strato Incenus, Dev will free the imprisoned king and bring down the ice mountain fortress of the wizard.

That's the backstory, search amazon.com for the DVD Dragons: Fire & Ice for the full story, it's a sleeper hit that will leave families surprised at it's entertainment and quality.

Now you know what role the toy plays in the ongoing story of Dragons, you can begin to understand the total package.Yes there is a dragon, very pretty too.Colored to match the brilliance of real flames and fully articulated, this dragon is perfection in the three year evolution of MEGA BLOKS toys.The jaws open to reveal a bright red light that activates at the push of a button on his back.I MEAN BRIGHT! :)When you place the dragon on the base unit with a drop of water in the resevoir and attach the pump per the instructions, you get a flash of red light coloring the "smoke effect" from the dragon's mouth.Truly a magnificent little water vapor science experiment!

The Fortress gets bad press only because people misunderstand it's purpose and action features.This set took me less than a half-hour to un-box and build.The fore-walls of the fortress are loosely attached to the base on purpose.If they clicked like other MEGA BLOKS bricks, then the features would not work.When you have king Olsef placed in the cell with the gear driven door in the down position, he cannot escape!Press the red button on the cell base and you activate a 10 second delay (enough time to light and pump your dragon flame!) door open, claw-drawbridge lowers and crashes through the ice walls sending them tumbling down.The king is free!!!Awesome effect!See?!The ice wall is supposed to fall away for the action feature to work.They have less grip to the brick and baseplate studs so they can break away when the drawbridge slaps across them, thus knocking them down.All the other parts included grip as they are supposed to; better than average.I love the blue-ice and white wash look of the included parts making them look Icewind Dale cold!! :)

You can build this set a number of ways to add to the fun, or place it near the Dragon Mountain playset (big, but worth every penny) to re-create the movie scenes.I love this line, and this set is one of the best with unique elements, features, characters and educational value.

I've had this set built and displayed in my rec room for a while, and we've carried it from room to room without much fuss for the kids to play with.Even my 2 1/2 year old genius girl loves to play with it (as long as I am present!!).It's good fun for older kids to explore on their own, but remember to read all the way through the instruction booklet.It'll tell you all you need to know, except how to have an imagination.

I'm going to order more MEGA BLOKS Dragons sets now, because every adult fan of toys should try these out.Kids too! ;)

Best wishes people, and play well.

Not a very good toy
I bought this toy for my son for Christmas and was disappointed with it.When putting it together, it kept falling apart and the ice looking pieces.....they just sit on the display and very easily fall off.I rated the toy 1 star because the only part my son does play with is the dragon and he uses his imaginiation when playing with it.....WITHOUT playing with the part you have to build.It's like i spent $30 for a dragon.

I do not recommend this toy at all.Save your money!

hard to keep together
this ice fortress ice is extremly hard to keep together. it took for ever to get it together. the fire breathing feature is a little hard to put together according to the instructions. the wings break easily if you put pressur on them. ... Read more

This one is the BEST
When I saw this toy in the store I had to get it! All 4 dragons came in the pack. I thought the smoke dragon was the best! It looked just like iy did on the box! I may be a girl but I don't care, I must say the dragons look a little scary, though. This toy is prfect for any kid! Even my 8-year old sister likes it.

Somewhat disappointing..
I am an AVID collector of all things Dragons. These eggs really caught my eye, everytime I was in the store I would look at them, but never bought one. Finally, I broke down. I had to have one! The Smoke Dragon caught my attention, I thought it was the most awesome looking one of the four. So I brought him home.
I was instantly disappointed by the coloring of the piece. It does NOT look like what it shows on the box. The wings on the box look more fiery with yellow on the edges and orange in the middle turning more red towards the inside of the wings. The actual piece is NOT like that. the plastic is red with yellow swishes of paint. It looks like crap. NOT what I was expecting AT ALL. And, since the plastic pieces are red, the joints in between in the legs and everything are all solid red. NOT like it shows in the instructions, where the plastic is solid black!
Black would look so much better! EVERYTHING is less detailed than it shows on the box.
For a child, this is great toy, NO DOUBT! It's solid and sturdy and I *wish* that I had these toys when I was younger. But for a collector of Dragons, I am a bit disappointed in the paint job. =(

OTHER PIECES NOT WORTH THE MONEY
These are the only Dragons worth having from the Fire/Ice Dragon series.My son received several pieces for Christmas and I am extremely disappointed in all of them.The Portal of Fire is a nightmare to put together.The pieces do not snap together properly and when adding larger additions the other pieces begin to fall off.My son has not even begun to play with it and I have had to put it back together time and time again.I can only imagine the frustration and disappointment he is going to have when it falls apart during play.While the dragons are awesome and the detail is great these selections are not worth the money. ...

This is a 1337 toy!
It's a fully poseable and easy-to-assemble dragon which comes in an egg. It's also really durable because if, say, its wing breaks off, you can just snap it back in place. It's sort of a puzzle and, once you solve it, you end up with a 1337, fully poseable, action figure of a dragon.

Dragon Eggs
These Dragon Eggs rock! Ever since I got my second Dragons set( Warrior's Fortress), I was hoping that they would come up with sets that contained the Dragons only. Now they're finally here! My Dragon, the Flame Dragon, is so cool. With flapping wings, snapping jaws and movable legs, these Dragon juveniles are every Dragon-loving kid's dream come true.

Flame Dragon is AWESOME!
I am 9 years old.I really like to play with the dragon that I got from the egg.Flame dragon has one horn on the front of his head.He has three horns on the back of his head.I also have two other dagons, smoke and ice.I think the dragons are very , very cool. I encourage anyone who sees a Fire and Ice dragon to buy it! ... Read more

Frost Dragon Rocks!
I built mine in a few minutes, but it is SO COOL! It comes in an egg that contains all the parts. I would say it takes about 5-10 minutes to build, but a few pieces might be hard for younger kids to build. The blue-ish coloration adds to the wonderful dragon. I was pretty dissapointed in the building time, but this model is great for people who want to build but don't have lots of time. I suggest you buy this one for dragon lovers and fantasy goers.

The best dragons yet!
It just keeps getting better! The first Dragons series by Mega Bloks was awesome. The Krystal Wars series improved on the Dragons dynamic in many ways. Well, they've done it again!

Welcome to Fire And Ice Dragons.

This dragon is just plain awesome. The most notable improvement is in the articulation department. The first dragons were semi-posable. The sea dragons (Krystal Wars) were rather stiff. While they sported flexible necks and tails, their legs were pretty much stuck in one pose. The cave dragons (Krystal Wars) were vaunted as "fully posable". Those guys were impressive at the time.

This Frost Dragon is even more posable than the cave dragons are. Let's run through his repertoire of articulation. His hind legs can move up and down, in addition to away from his body. The joint can move in two directions. Nice, but here's where it gets good. His fore-arms bend at the elbows. In addition to being able to move his fore-arms up, down, left, and right, you've got an additional point of articulation in the elbows. His tail can move up, down, left, and right. His wings are movable in a similar fashion. And here's the kicker: His head can move up and down, and turn left or right! Of course, his jaw opens.

The dragons are now officially "action figures". Imagine the battles you could stage with this amount of posability. Dragons going after each other, taking swipes at each other in melee combat, breathing fire and frost at each other. And now we can pose our dragons appropriately.The posable fore-arms, tail, and head are especially appealing.

This dragon has 10 pieces that come in a dragon egg container along with colorful instructions for assembling him. While there are no building blocks here, he's intended for use with other Fire And Ice sets. He works as a stand-alone action figure. I gave him a good educational rating because you have to build him (instead of just opening a ready-made action figure).

All of the pieces snap together easily, and the completed action figure is very durable. He looks great, and the paint job is excellent as always, giving him a realistic look.My verdict: Thumbs way up. An attractive, durable action figure that sports some great articulation. ... Read more

The dragons are now officially "action figures".Mega Bloks fans and dragon lovers, rejoice!Here's an example of this guy's posability.I was playing around with him and maneuvered one of his fore-arms in front of his face.It looked like he was lifting his claw to block as an enemy dragon took a swipe at him.And it looked absolutely fantastic!Imagine the battles you could stage with this amount of posability.Dragons going after each other, taking swipes at each other in melee combat, breathing fire and frost at each other.And now we can pose our dragons appropriately.

This guy is my favorite of the four dragons that come in Dragon Eggs (Ice Dragon, Frost Dragon, Flame Dragon, Smoke Dragon).A durable toy, looks great, and has some awesome articulation.He can easily be posed for flight or standing on the ground.I would've preferred that his hind legs bend at the knee as well, but I'm willing to overlook that in light of his strengths.The posable fore-arms and head are especially appealing.

My verdict:Thumbs way up.This guy totally rules!He's got me excited in anticipation of what the rest of the Fire And Ice series has to offer.

Where do You buy the eggs!??

it's good enough
like I said,it's good enough.all it really needs is a little more pieces and more durability.

Fire Sentry
So, Fire Sentry comes with three warriors, a base plate, two bat wing like looking decoration pieces, and additional pieces(like small blocks).
The base plate is sand colored and outlined with red.You put together the small blocks and wing pieces and attach them to the base plate.This was not a good idea.It breaks off very easily.There is a thin board piece that is attached to a couple of blocks to create a dock like affect.Also, there are two fire pieces and two torches to complete the look.
Two of the warriors are Fyren(a mix of Draigar and Norvagen from the Krystal Wars), and have fire on top of their helmets.The fire is very dull, though it is cool.Their weapon assortment, is a black and red Draigar shield, black and red Norvagen shield, a Norvagen sword(black), and a Draigar axe(black).The Ice Vorgan has a frost sort a coating, and holds a brown shield and hammer.
I didn't like this set as much as Ice Outpost, but Fire Sentry had some pretty neat features. ... Read more

The Battle Begins
As the Vorgans await the mountain top over looking their Vorgan Stronhold, They come across a Draigar soilder attacking for the Vorgan Ice Krystal. As so the battle in the Stronghold, these two Vorgans have a battle of their own to win. Its Outpost's like this that keep the Vorgan Strongholds safe and secure. Of course the Draigar soilder is outnumbered and will be defeated.......or will he? You choose the winning team.

Choose Wisely

Mega blocks Dragons Ice outpost
Very fun,but it has small pieces that can be easyly lost but other wise its fun!!

Ice Outpost
Ice Outpost comes with two Ice Vorgans, one Fyren warrior, one base plate, and a couple other building pieces.
You start out with the base plate that is painted white with a blue outline, a blueish white window, two pieces of ice (not real ice!), two smaller blue plates, four small blocks, a brown-white roof, and the traditional Vorgan wooden sculpture that lookes like it's covered with snow.Put it together, and you will get a sturdy,dock like looking outpost!If you think about, it sort of looks like the Norvagen Warchest, except it looks all frozen and covered with snow!
Now, the two orcs are ICE Vorgans, right?So, they look like they have been glazed with frosting to give them an icey look.One of the Vorgans has black and white fur on his back(awsome, totally awsome!).Their shields, like the orcs them selves have the glossy affect.The weapons are not glazed, and are the same as the Krystal Wars sets, just plain brown.The Fyren dude is a Draigar, painted red and holds a black Norvagen sword and a black shield with a dragon head encirled by a little bit of red (The Norvagen and Draigar are apparently noe allied).
IMPORTANT!This set is not to be used by itself!It works best as an expantion pack, or bought just for extra warriors.
I love the icey look and the orc with the fur.The durability is great and the ice rocks.

Editorial Review

In the intricate storyline dreamed up by the folks at Mega Bloks, the epic, and perhaps inevitable battle between fire and ice being results not in a puddle of lukewarm water but in a heated dragon fight. Despite his ferocious look, Firedrake is apparently a good guy and he is depicted here in enhanced hand puppet form. Slip your hand inside and with a squeeze, he roars as his eyes light up. We found the sound a little distorted but then again, who are we to say what an actual dragon really sounds like? The dragon was also quite sensitive, not a trait normally assigned to dragons, and let out big roars even if we just bumped against him, thereby earning him a place on the shelf as opposed to a crowded toy box. Two little warrior guys, we think theyre Vorgans, are also included. --Charlie Williams ... Read more

Awesome!
Alright, let me level with you up front: I have no kids. So, yes, I bought this toy for myself and am reviewing it on its own merits and my impressions. Therefore, you'll have to decide from that whether it's alright for your children. Despite being a adult -- complete with adult sensibilities and responsibilities -- I'm a lover of all things draconic, and blessed with a fine spirit of play. I tend to collect dragon toys and don't mind admitting I can have a little fun with them while I'm at it. :)

This toy, frankly, is awesome. It's basically a puppet, of sorts, with lights and sound. With your hand in the dragon, you can open and close the mouth, and pop up the spines (you have to push the spines down afterward). Besides that, the dragon makes different sounds depending on its position. Rolling your hand left, right, up, down, and closing the mouth all elicit a response from the beast -- everything from a growl to a roar! It's definitely fun to rear back and roar, before chomping on some of the baddies on the battlefield (a couple are included as appetizers).

The dragon is well-made. The inside is padded and has a nice soft lining. The outside is a sort of rubber, and the padding inside lends a nice definition to the dragon's features. The jaw plates, as well as the spines are made of plastic, which gives them some tangible hardness. It is this fact, however, that leads me to note two things: First, this is not a soft toy. While these parts are covered by dragon 'skin' and a little light padding, they are still there. And, second, since this toy has some plastic parts (jaw 'bones', spines, and speaker box), durability against heavy use is questionable (i.e., while the plastic is pretty solid, *too* rough play has the possibility of causing some damage). That said, under normal use it seems as though this dragon could offer a long life of fun play. Despite the fun factor, be warned: it makes noise, and lots of it! Since the dragon does everything from roar to crunch, be prepared to hear a lot of it. Even moving the dragon, without a hand in it, elicits a growl (wouldn't you after being jostled?). Don't worry, though, if -- after all that time growling, and roaring, and chomping -- your dragon seems a little too pooped to say anything else, just two AAA batteries (two are included and already inserted) are all that's needed to perk him back up.

As far as educational value... well... It's a fun toy, but I'm not necessarily sure what it could teach your children. Perhaps that dragons can easily chomp little troll-like warriors? It can definitely spark some imaginative play and that's -- I think -- the most important part.

In the intricate storyline dreamed up by the folks at Mega Bloks, the epic, and perhaps inevitable battle between fire and ice being results not in a puddle of lukewarm water but in a heated dragon fight. Here we meet an "ice breath dragon", done up in chilly blues and whites, and depicted here in enhanced hand puppet form. Slip your hand inside and with a squeeze, he roars as his eyes light up. We found the sound a little distorted but then again, who are we to say what an actual dragon really sounds like? The dragon was also quite sensitive, not a trait normally assigned to dragons, and let out big roars even if we just bumped against him, thereby earning him a place on the shelf as opposed to a crowded toy box. Two little warrior guys, we think theyre Vorgans, are also included. --Charlie Williams ... Read more
