Dear all,
After having browsed the tons of great pictures some of you took at Passion 2006 I noticed that there were some Fafnir dragons.

Being kinda "rookie" in the Smurf universe, I was wondering how much is the piece generally ? Is it hard to find ?
Thank you in advance for your answers

Best Regards,

Stef

You mean "The" Dragon?
Sorry my friend, my body is not for sale!!!

I mean, unless you are a very attractive female dragon of course... I mean we can talk...
:)

Just kidding!!

The PVC dragon normally goes on eBay between 50 and 100 Euros.

Although it is seen by many collector's (including me) as a must have for a collection (I mean you know I would say that of course), I have to point out that it is not originally a Smurf item.

Sorry to go off topic, but where does the dragon come from? who is he?

Hiya
LOL !!!! Thank you for your answer
I start to understand why Fafnir does not appear in the German Guide I just purchased (Der Schlumpfs Katalog IV)...does that mean it is not a Sleich/Bully item ?

It is a Schleich item, but it is not Fafnir, but just a dragon (sorry David!). It was one of a number of bendable figures they designed themselves (that way they didn't have to pay licensing costs, which means more profit for Schleich), including a zebra and a giraffe as well. I believe they are from the early nineties. They can be found in some of the large dealer catalogues from Schleich (David?), where more info is available. They also don't have the "Peyo" mark on their feet. And so they don't belong in a Smurf catalogue or collection, strictly speaking. Having said that, as there is no Fafnir available, I'ld be very happy to buy this dragon cheap once and add him to my collection

That could be taken as quite a personal question there....however I am a mature grown imbecile so I know what you mean. David (also known as Supreme Dragon) comes from his Mummy & Daddy Dragon....it's a whole story that David once told me about the Burns and the Bonfire I believe....at least that's what his parents told him.

And what a bonfire it was!!!!!

Fram is right of course: It is not, technically speaking, Fafnir, as in Fafnir from the story and it was a promotion item from Schleich unrelated to the Smurfs...

However, there is a likeness with Fafnir, me thinks: I'll post a scan of that picture we found together with Fram at Passion: I think it's a nice one!

Here is a nice drawing of that little fellow...

Someone should warn Peewee not to poke a sleeping dragon.

Now now I am not "that" big, just a little "round" that's all. And I clean between my scales real good, you know, like a proper dragon should do.
I'd be a real good lodger: I don't eat Smurfs... or Knights for that matter: there's just too much metal on them (gets stuck between the teeth).

However I do sneeze... Now I dont know if you have ever seen (or heard) a dragon sneeze, but let's just say that it's best not to be in the line of fire, literally. It gets worse during the pollen season.

Yes I am a dragon who suffers from hay fever! :)

When I get back at the week end, i'll see if I have a drawing of Fafnir: I may have as I have all the Johan's stories. I'll also look for some buildings in the Smurfs stories!

Cheers,

David

I like to be around a Dragon when he sneezes...in the winter time...it's amazing how much I can save on energy costs

[XoioX2000]

Hi Mau

You say that, but that poses quite a bit of a problem in the winter: if the sneezing is too close to a house... no more house. Hence health and safety operatives from the times before King Arthur have banned us to caves, deep ones, made in stone. Difficult to burn, stone.

Dragons, being reptiles, should be cold blooded of course, which would be a problem in the winter. However the blood of a dragon passes nearby an organ, behind the lungs, which creates a very hot and volatile liquid substance. This is the green liquid which takes fire when blown outwards... and enables a dragon to keep warm.

This also enables you to identify a proper dragon as opposed to a pale imitation: The flame of a proper dragon has a green tinged to it, due to the color of that liquid (sometime referred to as wildfire): any yellowie/orangie flamed ones are just not to be trusted and frankly not worth the bother.

Now female dragons are hard to come by these days, so this is difficult to verify (and my childhood memories go only as far back as when I burned my first knight), but according to George R.R. Martin, who wrote "Game Of Thrones", it is very clearly stated Dragon's eggs, or at least their shells, are made out of stone. I suspect this is to prevent breathing accidents at birth. The thought of a female dragon delivering a stone egg however, conjures some images in my mind which makes me cringe and close my eyes...

This could be the reason we are near extinct you know: I have never heard of a midwife surviving a Dragon's delivery to tell the tale and I guess any sensible Mrs Dragon would say "Already been bitten once, sunny boy, stay away or I will burn you!".

Anyhow I thought it was good to clear that up...

here are 2 drawings in colour of fafnir from my old Johan comic. One with the smurfs on him so you can see the size also.
