Rubies Womens Costume Accessory Forum Novelties Medieval Dragon Shoulder Sitter Prop, As Shown

This is the best dragon prop you can get for your money. I will say that you are probably going to have to repaint it because the paint job it comes with is atrocious. My plan was to buy something to modify anyway (my niece wanted an ice dragon) so that wasn't a problem for me. Once you add just one coat of paint it looks like a completely different (and far more expensive) dragon prop. I'll definitely be buying more of these little guys in the future. As for the fit, I'm a size 16 and the band was comfortable. For a child you might have to tighten it, which isn't hard.

It was a little inexpensive looking, but I needed a shoulder dragon and where else would I get one from? Well, this one has visible screws and the parts kind of wiggle and wobble about, but come on, it was inexpensive and it is a plastic dragon. I figured after I was done with it, I would give it to my kids to play with, but it is a bit to poorly put together for that and my kids might eat the pieces. Oh well, it was still a shoulder dragon.I guess what I am saying is - it makes a fine prop for a costume, but don't expect too much. I liked the paint work fine, but the looseness of the attachments was really why it was a solid 4 stars for me.

I bought this shoulder sitter dragon as a gift for my son. It had such an awful paint job ,and mostly it was just brown plastic and you could see the screws holding it together. Needless to say I didn't give it to him. It sat in my basement for a few years. I came across it the other day and decided to see if I could make it look ok. I started with a repaint of those awful eyes and continued to repaint the entire dragon but it looks GREAT now. If you don't mind investing a few hours in a repaint it can look awesome !!

I answered the question about painting it in the reviews, so repainting it was key... (You can see my notes in the questions and answers section.)I wore a sleeveless dress, and first slipped the elastic band to place and secure the dragon over my shoulder. (The dragon's feet are oriented so that the dragon sits on your left shoulder comfortably.) I then pulled the dress over my shoulder and zipped it up, arranging the feet outside the dress. Safety pins were really helpful in securing everything. I pinned the whole elastic band in increments to the sports bra I was wearing underneath it all, so that the elastic didn't creep up into my armpit. It was comfortable and secure for hours so I didn't have to think about it, and looked very natural. It was challenging to do all the pinning myself; you will need a good mirror, and an assistant would have been ideal to help with the pinning.This dragon is a good size for an adult.

This is a terrible item. I do not recommend purchasing it. It is very cheaply made with weak plastic, poor/smeared painting, very thin/weak elastic for securing to your shoulder, and has 6 medium shiny metal screws that visibly hold the pieces together (two on the arms/wings, two on the legs, and two on the tail) which they don't show you in the pictures. The screws holding the tail have very thin pieces of plastic to hold on to. I had trouble returning this despite the fact that it was missing a screw and was not as advertised with the exposed screws I mentioned earlier. They tried to charge me for shipping the item back to them. Then they only refunded the price of the item, not the cost of shipping the item to me in the first place.

Excellent prop to complete The mother of dragons look, I actually have two but never got around to painting the other one. After wearing it all night and dancing with it part of the time The elastic wears out that secures the dragon to your shoulder, not surprised. Excellent value added to costume.

You can tell this is cheaply made when you get it. The elastic that holds him on your shoulder is screwed into the bottom? Which why would you screw fabric onto plastic? It broke off needless to say so I had to super glue it back. The paint job is just the worst I've ever seen. Only reason it gets two stars is because it did what I needed it to do.

This was a perfect little detail for my Rhaenyra Targaryen costume on Halloween. The kids at the door loved it, and some of the parents even stopped to take pictures. It does tend to slide to the side after awhile (my dress was slippery and the strap on the dragon started getting loose after a few hours), but for a 3-hour candy-giving window, it was perfect.
