Dragons - Collectors Guide
The purpose of this guide is to document the various dragons and baby dragons released by Citadel until 1990. So far as is possible, they are shown in chronological order of release.
Many of the C series, Tom Meier (DG) series, the boxed sets (DRAG series) and the C series young dragons later appeared in the 1988 catalogue. Where applicable, the 1988 Catalogue code is shown. Some of the young dragons were given new codes and names in the December 1992 Dragon Flyer - these are shown where applicable.
Dragons
Fiend Factory (FF) Dragons
Both FF33-1 and FF33-2 appear to be similar sculpts, apart from the change in pose.
FF33-2 Great Fire Dragon is similar to the later C11/1(a) Fire Dragon but they are different. Not only are the wings different, FF33-2 has the head and neck as one piece whereas in the C11/1(a) Fire Dragon, the head is separate and the neck is cast as part of the body.
On Stuff of Legends, it is suggested the FF61-2 Black Dragon may be the same as C11/1(c) Black Dragon, the FF55 Young Dragon the same as the C30/1(c) Young Dragon and the FF54 Wyvern the same as the C30/1(d) Wyvern.
Fantasy Tribes (FT) Dragons
All the FT dragons came with a choice of 3 heads. A number of variant heads have been identified, as shown separately.
All the FT Dragons later appeared as part of the C11 range in the 1983 Catalogue.
