Absolutely love it. I plan on ordering more. I read the reviews and someone on here didn't get theirs for 3 months. Mine came in 3 days!
Zippy the statue is more than a mailbox sleeve.

My Zippy The Dragon Mailbox Post Sleeve Statue is amazing! I plan on repurposing "Zippy" to be the official greeter at my front door. I was blown away with all the details and I loved adding colors to help make the statue 'pop'! As you can see, Zippy is the keeper of the dragon eggs! I plan on adding accent lights from the base of the statue for nighttime viewing.. This statue is outstanding and I highly recommend any dragon lover to add this to your collection.

I found it to be better then I thought it would be. We are building a new house and can’t wait to put it to use. Very detailed and nicely made.

We love Zippy and are the talk of the neighborhood. He was only up 10minutes before people started dropping in to look at him,ask questions or just say how awesome. I will be surrounding him with some black heirloom tomatoes and banksia roses for added wow factor.

Looks really good. The hole for the 4x4 pole could be a little bigger. Took some effort to get gim on. Also seemed kind of thin. Could see light in some areas. I was afraid.he would crack as I had to force him down the pole.

It does look very good, but the 4x4, which appeared to be perfectly straight, did not slide right through. I had to file down about 1/4" of material from a small 1/2" x 1/2" area for it to fit. Disappointing, but not a big deal - only took about 5 min to fix up.

I bought Zippy several years ago and he has become an icon/landmark in the neighborhood. We get so many compliments from young and old alike. I’m sad to say that someone backed into him over the weekend...he has been battled wounded. He is missing an arm, have the pieces. If he can’t be fixed, I will definitely order another

I bought Zippy, and renamed him George. Has been guarding our mail box for over a decade. He is just started to show some wear. Plan on taking him out of duty for some clean up. Any suggestions on cleaning and or painting? Our house would not be the same without him. The kids in the neighborhood have always loved him.
Great Dragon

This dragon is a great sentry for mail. I have used him for over 10 years and had to buy a new one due to damage of him falling over in a storm due to my failure to secure him. Original one has now been moved into house for repair and the new one put on a more secure stand on porch. I am sure if he were placed on a post secured in the ground he would stand guard for decades. Well made and crafted.
Love the look and quality!

We bought the Zippy the Dragon to freshen up our mailbox area and because we loved how he looked. We unfortunately have not had a chance to install it outside yet because of our weather.

Zippy is great but moved to Fl and he won’t fit in. I would love a Dolphin of this material or a Manatee. If you plan to add additional animals especially a dolphin, I plan to be the first to order.
Love our Dragon!

I bought Zippy as a house warming gift for my son, I live in an in-law addition on the house and my son and my X-wife live in the main house. My son loves Zippy and the X thinks its horrible she now gets her mail at a post office box I’m so happy that that I bought Zippy. PS the neighbors think Zippy is GREAT

I really like my dragon mailbox it looks great. The one thing that I didn't like was the multiple bumps on the inside of him. It made it hard to center the post so we unfortunately had to take a small dremel and carefully remove them without ruining the sculpter.
So cool

Just set him up yesterday he is holding the house number plate. I painted his eyes to bring him to life. All my neighbors comment on how cool he is. I got the mailbox from Lowes that matches nicely. I didn't have any problems setting it up, the 4x4 went in fine without any manipulation.
Excellent!

I've had my eye on this for a while, but never purchased it as I thought it would not look/be as nice as in the picture and/or shipping would be a hassle. Silly me, I have never been disappointed by Design Toscano orders before. I went ahead and purchased it and could not be happier. Thank you Design Toscano for providing such unique and quality products (and great shipping). (pardon the landscaping in these pics)
This mailbox post looks great!

After the first unit was found to be defective, I was skeptical. The second unit arrived and was made perfectly. I love my mailbox, it’s exactly what I want. I’m very happy with the quality of the product and the service I received.
