Collectability issues aside, this is an excellent figure for only $10. The repaint seems to have really picked out the details. My only complaints are some overspray on the rider's legs turns part of the dragon green, and the rider's boots are sculpted funny. The epic stat card that came with my order is slightly crumpled in one corner. These complaints aside, I think this is an excellent value and I'd highly recommend it.

I recently gave this item to a friend as a birthday present. Hilarity ensued. Seriously, though, this is an excellent product. Value was excellent, quality was excellent, appearance was excellent. If this is any hallmark of Toy Vault's standards for production, they can certainly expect further business from me. One cautionary note: this "hat" appears sized for an average adult male head. Children and those with very large or very small hat sizes may find that the ear holes do not line up.

To be honest, I'm still not sure whether I like this book or not. I debated long and hard over a 3 or 4 star rating, but in the end I gave it 4 stars due to one thing: this book is precisely what it purports to be. As stated above, an "unsettlingly detailed look at the malevolent serpentfolk, etc." Lots of monsters (some ridiculously powerful) and lots of feats (mostly useless to players of PC races). There a few magic items, some spells, and an in-depth look at the regions of Faerun under the influence of Scaled Ones. The price per page of this book is about 0.16, slightly better than average. If you're interested in the subject matter, then this book is for you. If not, then you'd be better off waiting and adding this only to round out your collection after purchasing more useful supplements.

I'm very fond of this book. It isn't perfect but it has a lot of great material. Dividing the retail cost by the page count (157) gives a price per page of about 0.19; about average for FR supplements. The book doesn't contain an index (gripe, gripe) but the table of contents is almost as good. The book has the usual assortment of spells, prestige classes, items, feats, and regional backgrounds. It also has a whole slew of excellent substitution levels. The first chapter has some excellent material on what makes a valiant/valorous hero, including archetypes as well as character flaws. The book wraps up with some important locations, 10 NPCs, and a couple of monster entries. All in all, an excellent addition to any hero's library. Wait until you read about the Triadic Knight! Whoa, Nellie!
