I don't know, they seem to have produced some pretty good dragons. Most of them look better in person than in the stock photos - I particularly like Safari's Sea Dragon. Anyway, posts for these sorts of figures would probably belong in the "Other Toys" forum, under the "General" category.

Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome, and to Dan for the direct answer to my question about where to post next, regarding cryptid figurines.
However, being an architect of modern cryptozoology, of course, I have to mention, before leaving here, in response to that Papo and other "dragons," those are not strictly "cryptozoological." By definition, cryptozoology is about hidden, unknown, yet-to-be discovered, and the rediscovery of extinct species. We are rather clear in the dividing line between the "legendary" animals - such as the Yeti and Loch Ness Monsters - or even reports of Giant Ground Sloths still being seen in South America - or Sabertoothed Tiger encounters - versus the "imaginary," "mythical," and "science fantasy" ones like dragons, unicorns, and such.

I rather expected that. Although I'm curious, as far as seeing animals that haven't been scientifically documented, what makes something like a dragon beyond the realm of cryptozoology? Many people have claimed to see them, after all.
