What customers say
The sentiment surrounding Cheddar the Gothic Dragon centers on its exceptional design and perceived quality.

Know before you buy
Yes, it is constructed from metal, but because it features hand-painted details, we recommend applying a clear UV-resistant coat if you live in an area with harsh sun or heavy precipitation to prevent fading over time.
The statue requires simple assembly, typically involving attaching the limbs or horns. All necessary components are included, and it can be put together with basic household tools.
The movable parts are designed to be adjustable for customization. While they are sturdy enough to hold a pose, they are not locked joints, so they may need occasional readjustment if bumped or exposed to strong winds.
At 3 pounds, this statue is relatively lightweight. If you plan to place it in an open or windy area, you may want to secure it to the ground or a base to prevent it from tipping over.
You can keep the statue looking its best by wiping it down with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the hand-painted finish.
