	Games - Pocket Dragons

Pocket Dragons are a collection of friendly dragons in various situations. They are produced primarily in figural form, but also are released as ornaments, in flat artwork and various other forms. They were created by, and are still designed by, Real Musgrave, and are manufactured by Collectible World Studios. Unlike many artists behind collectible lines, Real not only creates the flat artwork for them, but also sculpts them. Both Real and his wife, Muff, have enjoyed nearly complete creative control over the line.

History

The first set of Pocket Dragons went on sale in June 1989, and included twenty-seven of the figures. They were produced in Stoke-on-Trent, England.

In 1998, an animated television series was produced based on Pocket Dragons, called Pocket Dragon Adventures. It ran for fifty-two episodes. The writers of the series collaborated with Musgrave.

As of 2005, at least 172 different Pocket Dragons have been released.

Real & Muff Musgrave announced their retirement, along with the Pocket Dragon collection, to be effective on December 31, 2006.

Trivia

Although Pocket Dragons were created by an American, the British Pocket Dragons Collectors' Club is triple the size of its US counterpart.
Over 50% of all Pocket Dragons are sold in England.
Real often uses coffee cans to ship his original sculpts to the factory for production.
