Or, if you have a fan of the film at home who wants a specific character or even wants to collect them all (which I kind of want to do too, now) you haven’t got the disappointment of duplicates or a less favoured character like you get with a lot of these suprise toys, as you just need to look at the egg. So, if you have more than one child you can ensure that everyone has a different dragon. Look at the Smyths toys site or try to peer through the shell of the egg itself before buying, as the colour of the egg does not always match the colour of the dragon. Aside from being lovely attention to detail, this allows you the option to work out which dragon may be inside should you wish to spoil the suprise. Our purple egg is covered with raised oval and circular-like planets or meteors, whilst the yellow one has a jagged rock design. The eggs themselves are different from oneanother both in colour and in their textured designs. However all feature the trademark large eyes, wings, claws and glitter incorporated into their plush bodies. They are around 8cm tall and come in a variety of designs from the movies. The dragons are much more detailed than I expected for the price. After zipping open the band of plastic packaging you can then easily crack open your egg to reveal a plush baby dragon from the Dreamworks movie series, “How To Train Your Dragon”. When you purchase this toy you receive a sturdy plastic egg which is around 10cm in height, and comes in one of several colours.

The 9 year old takes this role very seriously, and if there’s a negative she will always find it. The “testers” are my three children aged 9, 6 and 2 and a half. It’s always lovely to be offered a children’s toy to review as it really makes their day (and mine), but the Dreamworks Dragons Plush Dragon Eggs Assortment was a double bonus as we have a couple of dragon lovers in the family.
