Dragon Figurines Are Popular With Everybody

By Kathryn Neal


Dragon figurines have a long history as collectibles with a variety of people. They can be found in homes of rich people as easily as they adorn the home of people living in middle class. They are a very popular mythological creature and age is no factor either, they are loved by both the old and the young.

These creatures go back a long way in our history. Of course, they have never existed but that has not stopped anybody from ever admiring them and everything that they are. They appear in stories from the Middle Ages and ancient Japan, all the way to the Middle East and various old stories from many other places in the world. It seems everyone has a story.

This is probably why the people who tend to collect them are so diverse. People who collect other things are generally of the same race, social standing, or culture. With the people who collect dragon figurines none of those things matter at all. The collectors are from every social clique and race there is. It just seems that everyone loves these mythological creatures.

While that is not too common it does happen. It is also said that they guard vast treasures in their caves and that is why they are so defensive. They are destined to protect their gold and diamonds. Many popular movies and television shows of today have dragons in the story and as such they have made a slight comeback.

Dragons are probably the most powerful living thing in the world in these stories. They are very large, they breathe fire, and they fly. They are almost indestructible yet in many of these stories Kings send their Knights off to find and kill the dragons to save the Kingdom. In some stories they succeed but in most they fail.

The Japanese history tells of great big ones and small ones. Smart ones, nice ones and very dangerous ones. They almost have a dragon for every type of problem of the people or any hero who was given his power from one. They have used the mythical creatures for any description of why things happened in the past of the great country.

It is this long and distinguished history that has kept their memory alive. The fact that people have been telling stories about them for so long has kept people telling the stories to their children and their grandchildren. Many of them are just so romantic that they really do not want to change the story at all, even though they might know full well that they could never have lived.

They have come from the fantasy worlds and from the mythological stories we are told as children. Appearing in stories from all over the world and they are the same in each one. The people who collect dragon figurines know this and it is why they feel such a connection to the creatures.
