Schleich makes some really interesting toy figures suitable for D&D gaming. Here is a list of some of their offerings (the most useable for D&D gaming, IMO):
Home site listing Dragons and Monsters. Be sure to shop around, as prices vary considerably.
Gold Dragon [Lunar New Year Dragon], $39.99: Use with factory paint, or re-paint, as desired. The only thing I might try to improve on the factory paint, would be a black wash, to add some shadow to the recesses and scales, but this might be more trouble than it is worth! Dimensions: 11.2 x 4.5 x 4.7 inches! (Chinese knock-off available on Amazon for $17.99, same dimensions!)
White Dragon [Ice Dragon], $24.99: Perfect, IMO, as is, from the factory. Honestly, this is one of the very best that I have ever seen. Wings are posable, rotatable. Check out the size of this beast: 6.1 x 7.9 x 8.1 inches.
Red Dragon [Lava Dragon], $24.99: Perfect, with factory paint. Wings are posable, rotatable. Dimensions: 7.9 x 5.5 x 5.7 inches.
Shadow Dragon, $24.99: Perfect for an AD&D Shadow Dragon, but it could easily be re-painted for other types of D&D Dragons: Blue or Green; Crystal Dragons, or perhaps a Brown/Steel/etc? Wings are posable, rotatable. Dimensions: 8.5 x 7.4 x 5.2 inches.
Ice Spider, $10.99: This could be loads of fun to insert into G2's ice caverns, to mix things up a bit... Make up whatever stats you want, but be sure to make the HD compatible with its gargantuan size... Dimensions: 6.1 x 3.2 x 7.1 inches.
24 HD Earth Elemental [Shadow Stone Monster], $24.99: When you really need a gargantuan Earth Elemental to challenge those haughty, high-level PC's... Paint can be added to make it into whatever you prefer. Dimensions: 9.0 x 3.2 x 4.7 inches.
24 HD Fire Elemental/Lava Elemental [Lava Smasher], $24.99: How about a vacation in the warm, sulfurous, City of Brass? Be sure to tip the Bell Boy, generously, as he appears to be having a bad day, and he is about to transport your luggage... Dimensions: 7.1 x 3.9 x 5.4 inches.
24 HD Lava Elemental [Lava golem with weapon], $19.99: A friendly, welcoming Concierge at the gates of the City of Brass. Imagine your face, and your metal weapons and armor, melting when he says, "W-E-L-C-O-M-E!..."Dimensions: 6.1 x 4.3 x 7.1 inches.
If interested in any of these toys, I suggest moving quickly. Schleich does vary their fantasy offerings, over time, removing products from the line-up. Several of their past products are now OOP; and on the re-sale market, their prices can be harshly inflated. Cheers!
