Grenadier Models

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 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.
