Take Your Dragon to Work Day (Thomas O Miller box art for Ral Partha Shadowrun miniature set 10-860 Corporate Dragon, 1992)

Spoiler alert: The man is the dragon. This set included two figures, "dracoform" sculpted by Richard Kerr and "humanform" sculpted by Dennis Mize.

The final piece in my army, Vampire Countess riding a zombie dragon. I love this classic Tom Meier sculpt and hope I did it justice.

If you're a fan of vintage miniature figurines, you might have heard of Ral Partha. Their metal figurines were the official figures for TSR's Advanced Dungeons and Dragons and they produced Citadel's miniatures in the US until 1986, plus a whole host of limited figurines and IP specific models. It's probably not a surprise then that they produced a limited edition model for Pern.

Sculpted by Julie Guthrie (whose models are so ubiquitous of gaming in the 80s they were used as the game models in Stranger Things, and was responsible for the ElfQuest miniatures), the bronze dragon was made of five parts and came with two riders.

From what I can tell, this model was released in 1984 (this is the first Ral Partha catalog to feature it (view here on DND Lead) but a price and picture show up in the 1985 catalog (view here on DND Lead)) and in 1985 at least cost a whopping $30 ($89.93 in 2025 money).

I think I might have misunderstood “Prime Day.” I guess I was supposed to buy stuff online? I don’t know how this works.
