The Whimsical World of Pocket Dragons
Pocket Dragons
are collectible depiction's of friendly
dragons in
various situations. They were produced primarily in figurine form, but
also were released as ornaments, in flat artwork and various other
forms.
They are made of 'resin', also referred to as 'Cold Cast Porcelain'.
They were created and designed by Real Musgrave and were
manufactured by Collectible World Studios. Unlike many artists behind
collectible lines, Real not only created the flat artwork for them, but
also sculpted them.
Both Real and his wife, Muff, enjoyed nearly
complete creative control over the line.
History:
The story of the Pocket Dragon goes back to a limited set of black and
white drawings done by Real Musgrave in the mid-1970s, depicting a
small dragon in the pocket of a tweed sport jacket. The first set of
Pocket Dragon figurines went on sale in June 1989 and included
twenty-seven of the figures. They were produced in Stoke-on-Trent,
England.
In the fall of 2005, Real & Muff Musgrave announced that they would
retire, along with the Entire Pocket Dragon Collection, on December 31,
2006. On November 12, 2006, the last ever Pocket Dragons event was held
at Collectibles (Fine Glass and China) LTD, Stockton-on-Tees. Real and
Muff Musgrave have now retired and Pocket Dragons are no longer being
made. By the time they were retired, over 400 different Pocket Dragon
characters had been produced.
