Reception

Dan Perez reviewed Celestial Dragon in Space Gamer No. 75. [1] Perez commented that "Overall, this figure is an excellent value for [the price], with or without the gimmicky rub-on finish. I attribute this to the incredible detail and high quality which has become a Ral Partha trademark. This is the type of miniature which could easily become the centerpiece of a collection." [1]
