Sometimes people miss out on the most amazing opportunites for merchandising.

This dragon stands in the Tower of London’s armory museum, and is constructed almost entirely of weapons and armor. Had their gift shop been selling a miniature replica, I would have bought it in a heartbeat. But whover’s in charge of that stuff is apparently an idiot; there was no such replica, and so alas, all I have are photos.

(Also? Happy Book Day to me.)

...I'm pretty sure that dragon was not there when I went to the Tower of London. Wow. Yet another reason that I need to go back!

Seemed like a fairly new addition, yeah. It's near the end of the White Tower armory exhibit now.

Happy book day to you! I very much enjoyed the first volume and am looking forward to this one.

Also, OMG DRAGON MADE OF ARMOR WE WANTS IT.

It is seriously short-sighted of them not to sell replicas. The woman on guard duty in that room told me she gets asked about them dozens of times a day.
