Hey, fellow toy enthusiasts! Marc here, back with another quirky dive into the magical world of toy restoration and collecting. Today, we’re talking about the latest release from Super7’s Dungeons & Dragons ULTIMATES! line – the Vinyl Tiamat figure. Let’s just say, this dragon is ready to soar into our collections and hearts with a roar!
The Vinyl Tiamat: A Five-Headed Wonder
First off, let’s talk about Tiamat herself. This figure is an absolute beast (in the best way possible) with five heads, each one more menacing and detailed than the last. The vibrant colours and intricate designs on each head capture the essence of this iconic Dungeons & Dragons villain. From the ferocious red head to the icy blue, every detail screams high-quality craftsmanship.
Detailed Sculpt and Paint
Super7 has truly outdone themselves with this one. The sculpting on Tiamat is incredibly detailed, showcasing the scales, spikes, and ferocious expressions of the dragon. The paint job is equally impressive, with a rich palette that makes each head stand out. The vibrant reds, blues, and greens are eye-catching and bring this legendary creature to life.
Articulation and Poseability
While Tiamat is more of a vinyl statue than an action figure, there’s still some poseability to play with. The heads can be positioned to create a dynamic display, perfect for any Dungeons & Dragons fan looking to add a touch of menace to their shelf.
Comparison to Other Figures
In comparison to other Dungeons & Dragons figures released by companies like Hasbro and NECA, Super7’s Tiamat stands out for its sheer presence and detail. While Hasbro’s line offers great articulation and NECA’s Warduke figure is a fantastic addition (check out my review here), Tiamat’s size and intricate design make it a must-have for collectors.
Celebrating 50 Years of Dungeons & Dragons
Did you know that Dungeons & Dragons is celebrating its 50th birthday? First released in the US in 1974, this iconic game has been a staple of fantasy and imagination for half a century. To celebrate, various toy companies are releasing special editions and figures. Hasbro, for example, has announced a plethora of new products, and NECA’s 50th-anniversary Warduke figure is a standout (more on that here).
Love dragons
The Super7 Dungeons & Dragons ULTIMATES! Vinyl Tiamat figure is a stunning addition to any collection. Its detailed sculpt, vibrant paint, and imposing presence make it a standout piece. If you’re a fan of D&D or just love dragons, this figure is a must-have.
