Chinese New Year Dragon

An interesting find. This serpentine red dragon is marketed as a decoration for the Chinese New Year, and its shape certainly leaves this as its main purpose. Still, it's a cute design and endearing in its own way. I would say that the manufacturing quality is fairly low (perhaps not as bad as the Oriental Trading red dragon though) and mine does not hold its air indefinitely by any means. Still, it was well priced and it's undeniably large :)

I have a contribution to the Manufacturer information for this inflatable.

I get a few novelty catalogs in the mail and flipping through them i have seen this dragon periodically in the Oriental Trading one with it labeled in the description ŠOTC. So in a short way of saying it, this Dragon is made by the Oriental Trading Company. Hope that helps
