“This Halloween dragon was one of my best purchases,” wrote reviewer Doezer Dave. “I was nervous about spending $200 on an item I couldn’t see in person but decided to give it a shot. Wow!!! This thing was unbelievable! I get over 100+ kids every year at my door for candy, and this thing was a hit! Go ahead and buy him, he’s awesome!”
