The Bottom Line

Wow! The much awaited McFarlane's Dragons - Quest For The Lost King Figures are finally here. The Berserker Clan Dragon vs Human Attacker Figure is very nicely executed and is a fair rendition of the Berserker Clan Dragon pictures posted on Spawn.com. Perfectly sized and proportioned, this figure is sure to take your breath away. Nice details and articulation make this boxed set a must add to your McFarlane Collection. Look out for the other Dragons lined up too.

Pros

  • Beautifully Detailed Like Most Of McFarlane's Figures
  • Leathery Look Of Wings Is Awesome
  • Dragon Figure Is Stunning
  • Well Packaged

Cons

  • Flames From Mouth Look Cheesy
  • Human Attacker Figure Could Use More Work
  • Could Do With A Little More Articulation

Description

  • Dragon Figure Is Beautifully Detailed With Browish Scales and A Black Underbelly.

  • The Wing Span Is 12" And The Leathery Wings Truly Make The Dragon Look Statesque and Fearsome.

  • The Faux Flames Coming Out Of The Mouth Look Artificial And Are Fixed.

  • The Human Attacker In Full Battle Armor Is Shoddy Compared To The Star Of The Show - The Dragon.

  • The Articulation Could Be Better - Alright For Display, But Doesn't Leave Much Room For Play Posing.

  • The Figures Are Easy To Plug Into The Rock Base and One Of The Wings Has To Be Plugged In Too.

  • Contains Some Sharp Points - Unsuitable For Young Children As Well As For Rough Play.

  • The Box Contains A Detailed Description Of The Line Of Dragons, And On All The Other Dragons.

Guide Review - McFarlane's Dragons - Berserker Clan Dragon vs Human Attacker

McFarlane's Figures are so well detailed it's amazing. This new line - McFarlane's Dragon's is no exception. My first impression of the Berserker Clan Dragon vs Human Attacker Deluxe Boxed Set was very favorable. Nicely packaged, it is easy to take out of the window box and plug in to assemble. The package includes a Dragon Figure which measures approximately 10" in height, and 12" across the wing span, a small Human Attacker on top of a Horse and a rock like Base.

The dragon figure is well sized and propotioned. On closer examination, the details are beautiful, with the scales of the dragon showing up beautifully. The underside is a textured black, and the wings are gorgeous and leathery looking. The insides of the dragon's mouth are the best though, with the yellowish teeth and the red tongue looking dangerous. One thing that wasn't that great was the flames coming out of the mouth - something about the yellow color and the shape made me think of a sea animal instead.

The Human Attacker on the horse is very disappointing. The horse is pretty realistic, but the human figure atop the horse could use some more detailing. On to the articulation - limited that it is. The dragon is articulated at 3 places on the neck, left thigh, right shin, ankles and tail. The human figure is jointed at the neck, shoulders and waist and the horse at the neck. Not too useful for posing. This makes a great display figure rather than a play figure.

Overall, I gave it 4 stars out of 5.
