OK, the money shot of the whole figure, with dimensions, first…
Check out the head spike. Personally, I am not a huge fan of the D&D Blue Dragon's head spike, but… This toy is about as close as an un-official Blue Dragon figure can get, without infringing upon IP rights.
Now, about that paint job… This could be improved upon quite easily, with a darker blue paint, or wash, over the factory paint -- maybe a dark wash to just darken the body scales rather than a repaint? I'd redo the belly scales with a medium tan; I think the factory wing skin would tone nicely with a dark brown wash. I would also finish the painting with a dark, overall wash: Royal Walnut colored Minwax, water-based formula, followed by a matte clear coat.
This would not require a lot of work to turn it into a very nice Dragon for the tabletop, whether for mass battles, or for tasty PC edibles served in its lair for its neighbors come to visit for an intimate luncheon get-together: "Human, Elf, Dwarf, Gnome, and some scrumptious Halfling Hors-d'oeuvres, my friends?" LOL! I think it would be an electri-frying experience: the sights, the tastes, the aromas of various burnt fleshes, leathers, and vaporized metals in the air!… "Mmmm, delicious!"
Be sure to read the maker's blurb, on Amazon.com, about it: "Toys for Boys Girls Kids, RPG Figures Miniatures for Tabletop Display & Roleplaying,…"
OK, the vital stats:

PS:
This one is gnawing at me. I have a couple of Blue Dragons in my collection, but this one has the tell-tale head spike. I am truly a sucker for D&D-based toys… S-a-l-u-t-e!
