Grenadier released the Dragon Lords - Dragon of the Month ranges in 1984, 1985 and 1989. Confusingly, the 1989 series was marketed as "Dragon of the Month II" - but really it is series three sequentially. The first series included gemstones on plinths and, when you had collected all 12 dragons, they formed a circle. Also for the first series, a special "Dragon Lord" figure was available as a "free gift" after mailing in all 12 proof-of-purchase. The second and third series replaced the gemstones with unique bonus figures not found in other ranges and which are often fogotten about. In the 1990s, a retrospective called "Classic Dragons of the Month" was released and brought back a few of the earlier figures. Many of these dragons were more recently made available again from Mirliton after the demise of Grenadier.
Dragon of the Month (Series 1)
2501 Black Dragon
- The insert for the black dragon did not credit the sculptor, John Dennett has confirmed that it was sculpted by Andrew Chernak.
2502 Red Dragon
2503 White Dragon
2504 Brass Dragon
2505 Green Dragon
2506 Silver Dragon
2507 Blue Dragon
2508 Copper Dragon
2509 Bronze Dragon
2510 Gold Dragon
2511 Platinum Dragon
2512 Spectral Dragon
- The spectral dragon contains some recycled parts from the other dragons including the heads from Dennett's blue and red dragons and modified versions of the wings from the blue dragon.
The Dragon Lord
- Mail Order: only obtainable by returning the 12 proof-of-purchase vouchers from the earlier boxes.
- This figure was later re-released as UK1 War Dragon & Rider.
Dragon of the Month (Series 2)
All of the set in Series 2 credit both John Dennett and Andrew Chernak as the sculptors. John Dennett has confirmed that he sculpted all the dragons and that Andrew Chernak sculpted all the accompanying figures. Numerically, the series seems to continue in Special Editions (Grenadier) (but with other inclusions such as Giants) - this is not the case: 2524 is the last boxed set in Series 2.
2513 Sea Dragon
2514 Dragonlisk
2515 Iron Dragon
2516 Chaos Dragon
2517 Shire Dragon
2518 Swamp Dragon
2519 Frost Dragon
2520 Wyvern Dragon
2521 Wind Dragon
2522 Elven Dragon
2523 Storm Dragon
2524 Guardian Dragon
- A PDF of the full insert can be found here on the Grenadier Yahoo group.
