I'm running a campaign where the metallic dragons are "keeping an eye" on the humans in the main kingdom. Way back in the history of the regions, when humans first set foot in this area, they were visited by a Copper (diplomat) Dragon and told he would be visiting them and they better be mindful the dragons are watching. The particular Baron he spoke with was told to make a standard and fix it to a copper pole. The Copper dragon would seek out the copper pole banner when he visited the humans with news.
Years later, the copper dragon visits the humans and tells them of the dragon's approval from time to time, and occasionally with a warning. A Silver Dragon also visits the leaders of the Bard's College from time to time with news of special importance. The Bard's College name was derived from the Dragon's name for their Council, which they call the College of Dragons.
In this campaign, when the party crossed paths with a notable Bard, the Silver Dragon appeared in the morning to speak with the Bard and the Baron to deliver a warning.
With my Christmas Cash this year, I have thought I would like to get several of the D&D metallic dragon figures including the Gold, Silver and Copper dragons. But, since I can't find them locally (I like to support my local hobby shops), I would like to know if they are fairly large and good quality before I order them. One place is offering the Gold, Silver and Bronze dragons for $210, and this sounds like a goo deal, but the images don't give me an idea of how large and detailed they are. They show the figures weigh about three pounds, so that a lot of plastic, and sounds like they are indeed large. But I'd like to know what the community thinks.
Yesterday I purchased a Griffon from the local shop, because this is an iconic figure for the campaign. When the party is near the mountains, griffons are likely to harass the party for their horses.
If you have seen these figures, what do you think?

Yes these figures are the correct size and pretty good quality, with a few exceptions. The primer that the put on the minis is a little chunky and the mold lines/gaps are a bit annoying. All in all, they are more table top gaming minis than display minis. Look around on the web and you can find higher quality resin models that are a lot more detailed.
