At some point, I'd actually like to build up a slight stock and get a handful of dragons and other plushies in an Etsy shop as well, but for now, I'm taking any sale opportunity I can.

Pshhh....what are dinosaurs if not dragons without the breathing of fire? (And in some cases, wings?)

My pet dinosaurs totally have wings!

That is so exciting!!! :D

Do the dragons have names? :O
You could probably make a whole collection of collectable dragons!!

[Kaderin Triste]

I generally leave the naming up to the dragon's new owner, but one of my friends has suggested doing named dragons with birth/adoption certificates. But I just feel like that's a little to kidsy and overdone and want to market them as for all ages.
Maybe could do some limited edition themed dragons though. But it would be a bit until they were all ready.

If you like, though they don't breathe fire. One of them can do a flawless R2D2 impression though!

Not all dragons breathe fire. Admittedly, we probably all tend to think of Western dragons first, and by stereotype, they are generally very large, scaled or leathery skinned beasts who fly and breathe fire, whereas Chinese/Eastern dragons generally don't have wings or, despite what Mulan/Mushu would have you believe, breathe fire.

I'm, personally, a fan of Anne McCaffrey's dragons (and fire lizards), which only breathe fire when they've consumed a particular type of rock which reacts with acid in a smaller special stomach-like organ. And also of the How to Train Your Dragon series because they really dive into the idea of other types of dragons beyond what we all think of.

I was pretty big into Dragonriders of Pern back in high school. I did like that design.

I should see if I can find some pictures of my wing-a-ling pet dragons.

Me too well, except I think my obsession started in 7th or 8th grade)! I actually started with Dragonsong and Dragonsinger, which I will always love just a little more than the rest (because Menolly is bad-ass and kind of relatable in all her insecurities and also I want a ton of fire lizards!), but then worked my way through probably 90% of the Pern books after that. And I think the only reason I haven't read the rest is because the library where I lived at the time didn't have them and I was too shy to ask about having them transferred. And then I kind of forgot about the series.

Considering I'm older than you, that's probably roughly the same time. :P And I started with those two books, too!

[Kaderin Triste]

Yeah, probably not too far off anyway. And wow, what a coincidence!
