Dragon Figurines

Dragons can be found in many works of fantasy, such as books, movies, table top games, or video games. They have been portrayed anywhere from ancient and noble to being bloodthirsty and evil.
There is such a variety of dragons out there anyone can find just what they are looking for.

Some of my most memorable experiences for dragon are Lady Vox and Lord Nagafen from the original Everquest game, or the dragon fights from Dark age of Camelot. Where we had to get 20 to 50 people together as a group to go take down the dragons in these games and those who won were rewarded greatly. Still for some reason when I think of Dragon, I seem to go towards the ancient, rare and wise as seen as in like Dragonheart (the movie) or Merlin.


Spun Glass Bronze Dragon

A slender serpent spreads his wings, shaking his golden horns at the sky; a formidable guard indeed for a sacred crystal sword! Glorious ruby, bronze and amethyst glass is a striking complement to fiercely gleaming fangs and crest.

I hope to find more dragon figurines for your enjoyment. I'm sure you know someone that enjoys video games and would enjoy a nice collection of these magical creatures.

Horse Figurines

I personally don't think I know anyone that doesn't just adore horses. There are so many different things that horses do; such as trail rides, rodeo, races, contests and shows. There are very few lives that these magnificent creatures have not touched in a special way.

There are so many different breeds of horses such as , Arabian, Clydesdale, and Mustang. They have help shape our history anywhere to pulling carts to helping our forces in times of war. I can't think of anyone who's life hasn't been touched by a house in 1 way or another.

Horses have such a wide variety of talents they can't help but be loved by just about everyone.

Dolphin Figurines

Many people have been captivated by the grace and beauty of the dolphin. These collectibles are great gifts for both young and old. Many have been able to enjoy them either by swimming with them at certain theme parks or catching them on TV during episodes of Flipper or on the Discovery channel.

Researchers have been studying how dolphins communicate for quite some time now. They have proved themselves to be quite intelligent. They are also a favorite of wildlife watchers due to their playful behavior, they follow ships and seabirds often synchronizing their movements with one another.

Along a curving column of white-capped waves, dolphins dance to the tinkling tune of shining silver chimes.

If you know a youngster that is captivated by these creatures of the sea or know someone that may be a collector or loved them all their life, you really can't go wrong with a doplhin figurine such as these.

Angel Figurines

Angel figurines are a great gift no matter the occasion, just to let someone know that you care and are thinking of them. There are a wide variety of angels to choose from but my favorite would have to be the gratitude angel.

The idea behind the gratitude angel is to help raise the spirits of that special someone in your life that has experienced a tragic event or just seem to be really down. Have them place this type of angel figurine in a place where they see it fairly often, one of my favorite locations is where it can be seen when I get out of bed in the morning and right before I go to bed at night. Tell them each time they see this angel figurine to remember what they are grateful for no matter how down they may be. This way they start and end their day on a more positive note.

The guardian angel figurine is a great way to remind someone that they are never alone and that their guardian angel is watching over them and protecting them always. This type of figurine is a good way to let someone know that no matter what you will always be there if they ever need you.


Gratitude Angel

A fantastic angel for anyone in your life.

As her wings and flowing gown stir gently in the clean country breeze, a slender folk-art angel tenderly clasps her hands in thanks for the simple joys of life.





Elegant Angel with infant

Tall and slender in a pink-tinted dress, this elegant angel lovingly cradles an infant in her arms.






Motherly Angel
