Both arms fit snug into the body, rotate well, the wrists at the hand also rotate well, the gripping motion still operates fine. The moth opening and closing work smoothly. The tail is attached tight and rotates fluidly. Comes from a smoke free home. Rare and hard to find by TSR LJN, 1984, made in Macao. See the video of the mouth/tongue and arm motions in action.

TOYLINEDungeons and Dragons has spawned one of the best 1980's toy line and a magnificent animated series! Sadly the D&D toys were rarely incorporated into the series which aired after most the toys came out. The figures were produced by LJN, and are some of the best detailed, imaginative and colorful figures produced to this date. LJN and TSR also created some of the best fantasy characters, dragons, and monsters that you will ever see. LJN was chosen to create the TSR Advanced Dungeons & Dragons action figures in 1982. LJN was the best qualified to produce toys with quality, detail and color. LJN had done a incredible job with the first Advanced Dungeons & Dragons line up. The figures themselves ranged from various humans, to Ogre's and Dwarf's. Based on the popular role-playing game by TSR. The first series of figures was re-released along side the second having "New Battle-Matic Action". The Ogre King and Northlord were also re-released with "Shield Shooting Action". The Ogre King had an all new orange and lighter green color scheme, while the Northlord's only difference was his shield. A line of PVC and bendy figures and monsters was released as well. The second series of figures are generally harder to find. Tiamat is also hard to come buy especially complete as her wings are fragile and tend to break off. The Snake Cave Playset (which was to double as a carry case), the Viking Valkeer, the "Shield Shooter" Pulverye, second Kelek figure, and the monsters Behir and Bullete were displayed in the LJN catalog but were never produced. In 1982, LJN toys beat out rival toymaker Mego for the rights to produce toys based on the popular TSR role play game "Dungeons and Dragons" and a great underrated series of toys was born. The LJN D&D line was sort of a grown up version of Masters of the Universe with it's Elves, Wizards and Orcs populating a somewhat dark middle earth environment. Sadly, the line didn't fare well, most likely due to then strong opposition to the game itself and it's themes. 22 action figures, 7 creatures and 1 playset were produced over a little more than 2 years. There were many figures and creatures that were held back and ended up never being produced. The D&D toy line also consists of a PVC toy line, a bendy toy line, and a wind-ups. There were more than 45 different figures in these set, allowing Advanced Dungeons & Dragons to be one of the largest toy lines made in the 80's. BACKGROUND & CARTOON Tiamat is the queen of the dragons in the Realm. She is a red dragon with a golden-maned head that speaks and breathes fire but she also has two colored heads either side that are mute and have different breath weapons. The outer left head is a black dragon's that spits acid, the inner left head is a blue dragon's that spits electrical bolts, the inner right head is a green dragon's that breathes chlorine gas, and the outer far right head is a white dragon's that breathes cold. She is Venger's nemesis and the reason he wants the heroes' totems is so that he can use their combined mystic energy to either enslave or kill her, as Tiamat is the one creature that he cannot defeat unaided. One weakness that Tiamat shares with the rest of her species is the herb called dragonbane. Tiamat is the guardian of the Dragon's Graveyard although it is not specified whether this is her lair or whether she has many lairs across the Realm. In The Box episode Venger seems to stumble upon Tiamat's lair in the form of a cavern with an enormous door with the dragon behind it, although this could be a subterranean part of the Dragon's Graveyard. While at the beginning of The Night Of No Tomorrow episode she is sleeping in an ordinary cave. The non-canonical Season Of Goodwill story from the 1987 annual states that Tiamat's lair is somewhere beyond the Box Canyon. Tiamat can open up wormholes, but she may only be able to do this to and from the Dragon's Graveyard as she has never been shown to create wormholes elsewhere and favours flight. Excluding the cartoon's introduction sequence and the illusory cameo she makes in The Last Illusion, Tiamat appears in only four episodes. At the beginning of The Night Of No Tomorrow episode Uni infuriates Tiamat by disturbing her in a cave while testing the mountain's echo properties. The heroes seal her in the cave with a boulder but she escapes and tracks them down to Merlin's castle where they trap her in a dungeon but release her later so that she can battle Venger. In that episode she is last seen rampaging through the castle's walls trying to locate a fleeing Venger. In the Hall of Bones episode she is seen battling Venger who thinks he can defeat her using the heroes' depleted totems. He challenges her by announcing himself as her master but she refutes the boast saying that she has no master. She makes a cameo in The Box episode when Venger finds himself in a cavern and opens a giant door to find Tiamat behind it. But her limelight is the Dragon's Graveyard episode. The heroes teleport there and beg Tiamat for help in defeating Venger. Initially she is enraged by their trespassing but on hearing that they want to defeat her nemesis she cooperates by telling them that they must battle Venger in the graveyard as their totems are more powerful there. She creates a wormhole to the Realm, flies through, bursts into Venger's castle, creates a wormhole back to the graveyard and knocks him through with a powerful beat of her wings. She then observes the weighted battle between the heroes and Venger without further intervention and does not react when she witnesses the heroes spare Venger's life. The heroes first encounter Tiamat in the cartoon's introduction sequence where Uni is fleeing from her stampeding path, but it is not clear whether the dragon is chasing the unicorn or rendezvousing with the nearby Venger for battle. Tiamat takes her name from the Babylonian sea goddess who gave birth to dragons but was not a dragon herself. The cartoon was originally going to use a fire-breathing red dragon called Rogull but Tiamat replaced this idea. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LISTING DETAILS: I Combine Shipping by starting with the HIGHEST SH QUOTE; it is then an additional $1.00 Per Figure.*Two or more vehicles are based on actual shipping weight PLEASE DO NOT PAY IMMEDIATELY AND LET ME KNOW THAT YOU WANT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS OFFER SO THAT I CAN CONTINUOUSLY SEND UPDATED INVOICES SHIPPING & HANDLING FOR THIS LISTING IS free FOR USA – ITEM WILL BE PROTECTED!
