$ 45.00- Textured
- Jointed
- not a MAX model
This one is rather cute, but its low poly and the texture may look a little bad uppon closer inspection.
The worst thing is that its a Maya model, and converting models from Maya to Max is not a laughing matter.

Draco
$ 350.00- Very Detailed
- not Textured
- not Jointed
This model may be well done (and who knows what sources it came from) but it is missing a lot.
Without textures it will look plain and creating the textures for such a complicated mesh will propably kill me.
Also since this basically IS Draco from the movie there may be unforeseen consequences when using this in the way we'd like.

Dragonrider
$ 50.00- Textured
- Detailed
- not Jointed
This one looks rather bulky, while this can be good I don't like this particular kind of bulky.
The face is a mess, and its pretty much the only reason I haven't bought this yet, although I am pretty sure the scales on the texture will turn out to be just another noise map on closer inspection.
But then again movies like Dungeons & Dragons got away with such things before by moving their dragons arround like hyperactive little boys, so I guess I can get something out of this as well.
I will be able to joint this model myself, but it will take time, and since there is no picture of the mesh topology, I can't say how much of a pain it will be.
Sadly this also means I dont know if the sadle can be removed.. but hey, at least I get a free human with it.
And while I despise the idea of human riding on anything, it can be a great deal of fun to see them fall... and crash to the ground.. and then accidentally get sat on..
(`xxvxxvxxยด) ..but I digress.
This model is a good deal even if I won't be able to animate it.

Dragon
$ 60.00- cute face
- not Textured
- not Jointed
- not Finished
I really like the face on this one, it would still be a lot of work to complete this one, so it's not my first choice.
It is still the cutest model I've seen so far and I am going to keep an eye on it.

All in all I still would like to create my own Dragon model one day (when time and dreams collide),
but until then I can as well just buy one for use.. or missuse.
