"Zippy" arrived mid-Dec .Even at this busy time of year delivery was quick. I have not decided how to use him - mailbox/planter/garden art - so he has stayed in the house - where every time I walk by I smile. My only concern is how fragile or "thin skinned" he is, (Especially for a dragon! LOL) I am concerned he will be too easy to damage with daily use and easy access, one of the reasons I am considering using him as garden statuary only - in the meantime he will reside in the house - sometimes comical and other times menacing. Overall - very pleased.
