The hippogriff, a steed born of a mare and a griffin is a legendary creature which has the front half of an eagle and the hind half of a horse; it is extremely fast and is able to fly around the world and to the Moon.
It is ridden by magicians and the wandering knight Ruggiero, who was raised since infancy by the wizard Atlante, as a warrior. Atlante is fiercely protective of Ruggiero and keeps him hidden in an invisible castle on the top of a mountain.
In my story, Ruggiero escapes from the castle by melding with the hippogriff and flying to safety.
Photos courtesy of Fairyland ~ a new release coming in June.
Ruggiero will be added to my mythical creatures of The Elvin Forest, I hope you like him.
P.S. All ordered on 13th June and the hippogriff has been named Fleetfoot.

Hi Sandi!
ReplyDeleteOMG, this is so cute! ❤❤❤ I like both versions of him, half human and half eagle. Mythological creatures are amazing and very interesting.
Greetings ^^
Hi Lily,
DeleteThere's a little pink girl too, but to get these two is going to cost me an arm and a leg as it is. I do think it's worth sacrificing any further dolls this year to add him to my doll story though. :)

Those creatures look so awesome, I'm excited to see more photos of them and how much they're going to cost! I'm not really interested in RealFees myself though, so I hope Fairyland is going to sell the Hippogriffs separately as well. I'd love to get the blue-ish one, but won't make a final decision before I see the price ^^;
DeleteI'm really excited that at least you're going to order one though!
He is very cute and I can see you enjoying him amongst your fantasy dolls :)
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing him when he arrives!
xx
Thanks Sharon, but he hasn't been released yet, so it will be a while before he will be home with me. :)

Congrats! I can see why you want to add this one to your collection. I think it fits nicely in with the fantasy theme you have for your lovely dolls. I also love the backstory you have for this one.
ReplyDeleteThanks Alasse. Yes this one is perfect and very easily woven into my story, I couldn't have asked for a better addition. :) I started worKing on laying out my book today.

I also am so tempted to get one of the cute griffs x3 They're adorable and the pastel colors are just lovely on them!!
ReplyDeleteHi Irene,
DeleteI wasn't sure if the base resin was blue or white, but if they offer the blushing I may take them up on it this time, it's so beautiful on the 'griff. I hope you get one too! :)
Hugs,

ReplyDeleteYour story is so awesome too, I need more haha! Love your Elvin forest~ so much magic there, wish I could visit!
Can't really afford it right now Alejandra, but can't not get them, so CC will do the job. LOL! I'm happy to share pics when they finally arrive, and I do also want to write more stories over at The Elvin Forest.

OMG Congrats on getting the hippogriff-taur!!! I'm so in-love with this release, but I don't think I can afford it sadly. I hope yours arrives soon, safe and sound!
ReplyDeleteThanks Musume, I can't either, but I'm doing anyway, the money will sort itself out sooner or later. LOL!
