Temu Dragon vs. The Pirates

I wanted to do a little quickie photo shoot using the Temu dragon and my pirate toys so I put this together. It's getting too warm out in The Cave to spend much time trying to assemble display's for photography so quickie set-ups like this will be the norm until autumn. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

I envisioned a scenario wherein Pirates who were busy trying to bury their loot on a small island had a not-very-friendly encounter with a sea monster! If I were a betting man, I'd say the dragon was gonna come out on top of this battle. The Pirates lose, the treasure is lost, and another legend is born.

The backdrop is one I painted many years ago for a Christmas train layout. The hill is a leftover terrain piece from an old train layout. The pirate ship is a vintage MPC (the larger of two that MPC offered), and the pirates are repo Marx figures.


While I expected the Temu dragon to be larger, I'm glad it wasn't. It compares in size quite nicely with toy figures. 

A few shots of the set-up.

Temu Chinese-Style 3-Piece Dragon

I didn't put 2-&-2 together until recently, but I guess 2024 really is shaping up to be the Year of The Dragon, both in the Chinese astrological/calendar sense and in my personal collecting sense. The Temu sculpt being posted today is the Chinese style wing-less dragon. The ad made it appear much larger than it is, but that worked out well for me as it can be used with my other toys for fun photo set-ups. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

From Schleich, an example of a European style dragon: a big lizard with wings.

The Temu 3-piece dragon

It measures: ca10" (25.4cm) L x 2.125" (5.39cm) W x 4.75" (12.06cm) H
The length will of course vary according to how you display it but 10" is a good enough length.
