If they can keep to $550 the way inflation has been hitting us in the next 3-5 years, we could hardly hope for a lower price. But if they could just make the dragon and not a mini wave of figures I'd rather save money and focus on the real star of the show. Another thing I'd like to see would be instead of buying another entire neck & head with an unarticulated open mouth... could we have a single optional segment extension and I don't know, a single dragon mouth that could both open and close and have a fire attachment at the same time? How about fully articulated wings that could bend at the elbow, not just the shoulder? Sometimes I feel like this project really could have spent more time hashing out the best possible engineering instead of making huge items that, unless I buy another loose dragon torso off ebay, are all going to need to stay tucked away in their packages. It's not like extra accessories I can throw in bins or diorama pieces somewhere.
A decrease in sheer size might be acceptable if they ever did a Bone Dragon or a Mechanical Dragon, but imo it would be a harder sell to downscale a scaled dragon because they'd be losing some of their greatest advantages: visual impact and the sense of breaking new ground. If they do end up going the route they'd have to make it so affordable they wouldn't need to crowdfund. But I'm just one peanut in the gallery.

I assume from that, "the five pillars," or whatever they're calling them, will not be repaints, and a red dragon may be entirely different from this guy.

No. I'm factoring in the work and production they would need to do and cost analysis from pushback on this one. This is just MY opinion, which as you know is valued greatly on the global market and with several national heads of state. But still its their product and they have to determine that. If they had a red (or any other variant really) already in the pipeline right now, sure, it could maybe arrive a year or two earlier. But they're gonna have to catch their breath and work in some new angles and that takes time.
Four Horsemen have some exciting news to share on the Beyithirr campaign this morning - The Fiery Breath set has reached its minimum funding goal! The announcement that Sir Benegarr will be included by default in the Beyithirr dragon set absolutely set the campaign on fire yesterday! We had one of our biggest days of the sale so far and it helped push all of these items higher! Here is where we stand: The Beyithirr dragon is at 1815 units sold! That is 91% to the funding goal for the dragon!
The Fiery Breath set is fully funded! As of this morning it stands at 1002 units sold, which is just over that minimum funding mark! Now we move onto the Fiery Breath stretch goal which is the Burning Knight upgrade set - you can see the extra head and lower arms/legs from that set used in the photo of the Burning Knight in this post. Those pieces unlock at 1250 units. Remember, the Burning Knight is included with this add-on set by default, so that figure is now locked in! The Epic Wings set stands at 817 units sold, which is 82% of the funding goal.With the Fiery Breath set now fully funded, we know some people have asked what happens if the add-on sets fund but not the dragon? The good news is it looks like that wont be an issue. With the dragon now at 91% to its funding goal and just under 3 weeks left in this campaign, we are more confident than ever that this campaign will exceed its minimum funding goal! That being said, we still have work to do so if you havent preordered your Beyithirr yet, now is a great time to do so to support this historic action figure campaign! You can get your preorder in exclusively at StoreHorsemen.com.

I know they will all fund but that's kind of an awkward worst case scenario: get the wings, the head, the fire breath, the burning knight and the ashen skeleton but no dragon...
I hope they figure out a way to make the red dragon more affordable next time. Even if it means raising the minimum level. I think more folks would opt for a red one based on color alone.
