    When are they out? Not on their site yet.

    Not sure about them atm. A bit tacky. Makes the P/Mint ones look briiliant.

    They only seem to be available from Downies.
    Might be made by RAM but must be a special orders for Downies - like the 1oz silver Roo at Sunset.

    Isn't the market sick of colored dragons yet ??

    They are lazy. It must be taken from one mosaic in some Chinese palace. It's neither the 9-dragons in forbidden palace nor in Datong. I will find out where is the source.

    I just got a leaflet from Wynyard coin centre... the design on there is completely different.. the dragon is looking straight at you.. so im not sure what to make of this.. i have not seen the RAM Dragons in the W.C.C leaflet online yet.. just the above ones..

    Interesting.. same pricing.

    The pink squigley dragon reminds me of intestines. 'Translation not a fan of this design' :p

    This design is almost a copy of one of the dragons on the 9-dragon wall inside Bei Hai Park in Beijing:)
