Dragons - Collectors Guide
The purpose of this guide is to document the various dragons, young dragons and dragon like monsters 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.
Thanks to Heldrak for the section on DRAG7 rider variants and Dozingdragon for the section on FT head variants.
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.
The 1983 catalogue states the FF61-2 Black Dragon is 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. These may have been reworked in the same way as the FF33-2 Great Fire Dragon.
