Tomopop Review: Vapor the Dragon
by Rio McCarthy on 02/27/2010 4 comments

Who knew, but praying to the toy Gods really does a person wonders since I have officially gotten my hands on Vapor the Dragon. Those who saw my original article knew how excited I was to see this toy and how much I hoped to get one of my very own. An adorable Grape Vapor made its way to my door just yesterday and I'd love to share him with you!

Hit the jump to check out this little guy in action!

 

Vapor

After arriving in a brown box with packing peanuts I had quite the neat little wrapped up package waiting for me inside the box, and I knew I was bound for a cute-attack.

 

Vapor

After getting it semi-unwrapped Vapor started to peek out from his tissue paper home. You can start to see the grape color, and I was already giddy by this point.

 

Vapor

When I got him unwrapped out popped a face that everyone would love. My very own Grape Vapor had arrived and he was just as cute as could be. From everything to his crazy eyes down to his nostrils, everything about this little dragon is adorable.

 

Vapor

I love the positioning of the figure, it's almost as if he's reaching out for a hug. He sits properly level on the desk and doesn't seem to have any toppling problems.

 

Vapor

Vapor is a great size, measuring in at 5 1/4 inch tall, and will fit in any collection. Although I do have a tendency to get larger figures, smaller pieces like this are often my favorite. I love pieces that are small enough to fit anywhere, and have an incredible amount of personality.

 

Vapor

His little wings put a smile on my face, and I just love how all of the colors tie in together. Purple and lime green are two of my favorite colors, especially together, so to have them together with the dark purple and violet works phenomenally together.

 

Vapor

On the front side you get to see his adorable paws.. hands.. claws.. or whatever it is exactly that dragons have. The pink color also works well, and I love the faded look on his tummy.

 

Vapor

Vapor and I were going to go outside, but when he saw how much snow was outside he decided to go against that, which I was happy about.

 

Vapor

We just decided to peek out the window instead so he didn't get lost. Considering there was more snow out there than he is tall, it was for the best. You can also see the great silhouette that the figure has, which is something I like taking note of.

 

Vapor

As you can see on Vapor's bottom Pierre Rouzier has signed it. It also has my name on it and is marked as #4 of the 8 Grape Vapors in existence. I also appreciate that it has felt stickers on the bottom so that it doesn't get scratched up while it sits on my desk. I really wish more pieces would do that to be honest.

 

Vapor

Before heading back to my desk Vapor decided he needed to raid what was left of my cookie stash, which works perfectly since he really warmed up my heart today. He had himself a snack, as did I, and we went back to work over at my desk.

 

Vapor

I just truly adore Vapor, and would suggest to everyone who can get their hands on one to pick up one for themselves. If you'd like to get one of these cuties for yourself, you should still be able to find one through the PiNkJazZ Store for $42 with your choice of color in Grape, Cherry or Lime.

Do remember that these are limited to only 8 of each color and several are already gone, so be sure to hurry and get your order in if you have a favorite color in mind. While you're at the store, be sure to check out Pierre's blog for all of his other fantastic sculpture projects.
