Dear Gamers:

As we kick off our Year of Dragons celebration, I have some exciting news to share. I’ve just seen the finished, painted sculpture of the new Dungeons & Dragons Icon: Colossal Red Dragon, which will be released this September. It is truly the most extraordinary dragon—most extraordinary collectable D&D figure—we have ever created.

During development, the sculpture turned out so spectacular that we decided to really take it to the next level. The Colossal Red Dragon has more than 300 paint steps—that’s over twice what we've applied to any single figure—which provides unparalleled color and texture to accentuate the intricate details of the sculpture. Indeed, it has far surpassed our expectations. As a result of these developmental enhancements (believe me, we’ve pulled out all the stops), we have reset the MSRP at $74.99. One look and I’m sure you’ll agree that it is destined to become the jewel in your D&D collection. Come see it for yourself. The paint master will be available for public viewing at Winter Fantasy and GTS.

Thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm. The D&D celebration is just getting started!

Keep on gaming!
