The Gargantuan Green Dragon Preys Upon All Who Dare Cross Its Path!
This deluxe figure stands several inches tall and towers over all the miniatures in the Pathfinder Battles: Legends of Golarion set. The perfect adversary for your next adventure, the Gargantuan Green Dragon is a beautiful display piece as well!
This figure is fantastic, but it feels rather small. Its details are fantastic and quite sturdy. However, its height compared to the Rune Giant figure I bought made me feel somewhat unsatisfied. Especially after comparing its height with my Toad Demon miniature and how it almost matches this figure's height. I guess the Rune Giant figure kinda spoiled me.
Overall, it's a good gargantuan miniature. Wouldn't buy another one, but I would absolutely love it if someone bought it for me.
This bad boy is awesome. I bought him just so I had something nice to represent something gargantuan. Despite that, this mini is really great with a menacing pose,and nice texture. If you are in the market for dragons, I would recommend this one.
This miniature is very impressive. The pose is dynamic and fierce. The photo used for this mini does not do it justice. The shade of green that they used really pops when you see it. Some reviewers complained about the fact that the dragon's horn is green instead of black or a bone color. That is an unfair criticism seeing as the artwork for green dragons in the world of Golarion have green horns... So really, they shouldn't be upset about the mini being faithful to the artwork. Another criticism is that this mini seems awful small for a gargantuan. While it is the smallest of the gargantuans, it is by no means a runt. If the dragon was on its hind legs the beast would be around the height of the others, but honestly the pose they chose was great. This is a glorious mini and well worth your money.
I like the way this dragon looks. The sculpt is nice and the colors fit the art quite nice. Dispite the fact it is slightly small for a Gargantuan, I really am glad I bought this figure. I would say get it if you haven't yet. It is well worth owning.
Quick question Vic although I'm not sure if this would be too spoilery to ask. Would this dragon per chance happen to coincide with the size of the dragon in Dragon's Demand? Thanks for any light you can shed on that for me.
P.S. Even if it isn't I'm still getting one lol. It's just too awesome to pass up.
P.P.S. And if you guys want to show more pictures of that from different angles I would not stop you in the least!
Hopefully it doesn't! As far as I know Dragon's Demand takes the PCs up to lvl 7 - facing an Ancient Green Dragon (CR17) at this stage would spell certain doom for the heros.
I just wish it wasn't so soon. My wallet will barely be recovered from Skull & Shackles when two months later this hits. Don't know if I'll be able to picking up a case so quickly (and unsure if the assortment of figs they're doing will appeal to me.) Might have to find one on the secondary market.

Wow, the one chromatic color I was missing in my gargantuan+ collection. Part of me wonders if this is truly a mere coincidence, but giving its happening I don't really care. Good job Paizo!
We'll get better images later when the production samples arrive. This is the paint master, and it was only in the building for about an hour. We'll try to think of this with the next Gargantuan case incentive mini, though.
For scale it's about the same size as the Gargantuan Blue Dragon from Shattered Star.

I am hoping this thing comes out as a individual model, my buddy has 4 of the 5 evil dragons and is only missing green, would be a great gift for him, but not great enough to but the whole case first.
I'd say so. Up to now, I was able to get the promotional minis (black dragon, rune giant, blue dragon) from the previous sets as singles from my gaming store in town after the whole sets had been released.
Retailers can purchase one case incentive for each case they order, and then they can do whatever they want with them; some sell them only in conjunction with cases, while others sell them individually.
At paizo.com, we have a hybrid plan—the premium is tied to case purchases, but only until the *next* set is released, at which point we make it available for sale without a case purchase.

Yeah I picked one up along with a brick while waiting impatiently for my paizo shipment to arrive. Got to say I'm also very impressed. I won't review until my subscription arrives to see if the consistency is there, but this dragon is extremely well done, nice pose, good paintjob. The wings on mine certainly aren't monotone, some shading has been applied. Pretty happy.
My only concern is it seems a little small. I mean, shouldn't a huge creature be able to use one as a mount? I can't picture my storm giant, much less my Trechery Demon riding it. I should dig out the huge black with rider and compare side by side.

My wife found a way to make this guy more awesome shortly after we got him. We'd also picked up a pair of We Be Goblins just to round out our minis buying excursion. So, shortly after we'd unboxed Big Green here, we had Poog of Zargonel standing next to him. My wife grabbed Poog, and fitted him into Green's claw. Poog locked into place and now lives permanently clutched, about to be eaten.

Am I right to think that if I am subscribed to the Pathfinder Battles case subscription these promotional miniatures for each set ship automatically with subscription shipments? I don't remember having to add the skeletal dragon promotional figure to my Skull and Shackles subscription shipment.
The crux of the matter is that the Gargantuan Green Dragon did not come with my subscription shipment. I added it to my shopping cart to see if the 75% discount would be applied and it was not.
Edit: Nevermind, I found the answer. And I have changed my subscription settings so that a promotional figure ships with my subscription cases automatically.
My new question then, and I don't see this addressed specifically in the FAQ or elsewhere, is it possible for me to apply the 75% discount on promo figures after my subscription has already shipped?
Thanks,
Tam

Tambryn, the subscription to the Battles case can include at least one promo at 75% off with for each case ordered in the subscription. It looks like you had changed it to "0" premiums on May 24, 2013. Your Green Dragon is now in your sidecart for $10. It is currently set to ship with your December subscription shipment, but if you would like it shipped sooner, just let me know and I will make it happen.
Heya, the message in the product description above shows for every product that was at one time part of a subscription that Paizo offers (you'll notice this on all our Adventure Path volumes, for example).
There is a separate message for the restriction (seen here, for example) that expires once we finish shipping subscriptions and preorders, and begin shipping the next Pathfinder Battles set/premium.
