Dragon FlyZ DOOMFYRE DELUXE DRAGON with Summit

An enormous 3-headed Dragon steed with a different version of Summit, made by LGTI (Galoob) in 1996. - DOOMFYRE DELUXE DRAGON -


This guy actually "spits fire" (sparks) and probably the reason it didn´t get a worldwide release. Although the sparks never come out since the dragon´s mouth is protected by a plastic casing.


While the main head is static, the other two move. One, up and down, and the other, left and right. It has a chinese dragon design. And probably the best looking dragon from Dragon FlyZ I have ever seen.


The other 2 heads can be detached with ease from the main body.


Not only do they move, their jaws move too. And even their tongues!


Most dragons from the (now vintage) 95/96 series look strange, like Gargoyle busts. Other than 16" Riptor, that is. But this guy (or girl) here beats Z'Neth´s ride.


Figure: "Summit". Dragonator two. Even the rider is probably the best Summit version ever seen. 4.8" figure


Dragon legs move independently allowing it to take a... bow.


And of course, it comes with the string to pull and make the figure fly...


Figure must be put on top so the crank wheels connect.


Pull the string (dragon´s tail) and watch it fly with a cool whistle.


It even has room for another figure on top of it´s massive tail.


If you paid close attention to the pictures above, you probably caught a glimpse of a strange red symbol on its left leg. Well, that´s the mark to read the instructions on a sticker under the foot. There, it´s explained (in spanish) how to exchange the spark stone. Just like a gas lighter ignition stone. And that´s probably the (safety) reason why this Dragon is so hard to find... 


Here´s the spark-spitting beast!

Madelman 2050 Bran

Bran is C.O.T.A.´s Science Officer. And while his comrades carry "traditional" weaponry, he has a cool gunner backpack!

 
A mere curiosity for ARAH G.I.Joe fans, Bran´s set has a Cobra Astro Viper look, or is it the other way around? Both figures released in 1988!

Exin 1988

Not only were Madelman 2050 nicely packed in a molded plastic bed, they had a plastic bubble cover on top. Both figure and accessories could be arranged and perfectly observed from the outside. A common thing today, not very common (at all) back then. 


Figure: "Bran". Science Astronomer specialized in bio weather.


Included accessories.


Molded helmet folds down and gives a 1986 "Kenner´s Centurions" look to this C.O.T.A. man.


Looking like the nitrogen-propelled jet pack used by Astronauts, this is actually a weapon to wipe out Zarkons!


In "Return of the Madelman 2050: Zarkons Invasion" Bran is seen using its Magnetron "special power".


Since we already seen the Magnetron power revealing Zarkon forces identities, I guess this is a good time as any to show the feet magnets and just how super powered this magnet(ron) really is...


Smooth attachment on any metals containing iron. Strong and firm connection. A lot of fun! Let´s keep in mind that the Madelman 2050 line had a spectacular base (Basertron) which had metalic floor allowing these figures to... stick around.
