Amanda Visell’s tongue-in-cheek (or is that girl in the stomach?) Dragon Scout made its debut as a limited-edition wood sculpture at the Spring ‘07 VTN show. It proved quite popular with a near instant sell-out. That success created a wee problem… How would collectors beyond the lucky 25 satisfy their burning desire to own their very own Dragon scout ?
The answer is … vinyl 😉 As we revealed about a week ago, Switcheroo is in the middle of production on a Dragon Scout vinyl. For today’s Proto Monday, we’re bringing you an exclusive look at Amanda’s hand-painted painter master of the original green colorway. Standing 6.5” tall, the vinyl Dragon Scout is smaller than the original wood version. While very similar to the original design, this one has an open-mouth pose to show off his pearly whites instead of the original closed mouth pose.
The vinyl version comes with the camp fire accessory from the original release plus an all-new girl scout figure. For all of you who crave articulation — Dragon Scout delivers with 6 points of articulation (head, tail, 4 legs). As you can see in the shots of the unpainted proto (after the jump), the vinyl Dragon Scout has a cool wood texture.
We’re looking forward to the Dragon Scout Vinyl release sometime in ’09 which will also include a rarer blue edition. Props to Amanda for her first self-produced vinyl figure. Click through for more pics of the green paint master and the unpainted proto.
