Rhaegal, Drogon, Viserion 3D Prints

The three dragons Viserion, Drogon, and Rhaegal were born at the same time in Game of Thrones. They all look alike, and at the same time, they have some distinguishing features.

Depending on the icy accents you wish to add to this figurine, you can paint it any shade of blue, navy blue, purple, or any other color you have on your mind.
