Garmt apparently goes there from time to time; maybe I should ask him to
look for them... I wouldn't mind adding them to my collection even if they
are crap. Then again, two years is pretty a long time.

Ral Partha used to have a Corporate Dragon (actually a dragon and a human
in a box) as well as a Feathered Serpent. Currently the only dragons they
do are Dunkelzahn and Lofwyr, both of which I own. They're pretty good,
although there are major differences between the two figures even if
they're both supposed to be western dragons.
Also, I remember seeing Lone Star figures a couple of years ago in
someone's collection; I think he told me they were Grenadier, but I'm not
sure. They certainly looked like SR figures, and they do not appear in the
add in my Seattle Sourcebook. (And no, they weren't Ral Partha's set.)

They were not the same; the DMZ screen figures had different (better) art,
although they're roughly the same size. You can recognize the GM screen
figures by the cut in the underside of the figures, while DMZ figures
don't; also, the DMZ ones have a number printed on the for
indentification.
As for the dragon, the DMZ ones were much bigger -- 4.7x11 cm for the one
I've just measured up.
