Yes, Desmond is all gray, but he is not without detailing. He is taller than he looks online--which is good.
I am glad that he does not have a fierce expression, he is attentive and ready for action.
The packaging was excellent, although getting rid of all the Styrofoam bits was annoying. Desmond came through unbroken.
I may be purchasing another for outside. I certainly recommend this statue to anyone who wants a nice dragon!
