Greetings all:
Well I’ve thought long and hard about my dragon collection. I have a nice collection of carefully chosen Peacock dragons, all retired:
Male, Mother, Emperor, Spectral, Scratching, and Curled. Plus a Stone Inner Light dragon lamp.
I don’t have the funds to expand my collection, I want to come close as possible to breaking even. But I do want to change the colors up, while still keeping them somewhat matching, and I looooove the Rainbow color scheme!
So,I’m definitely selling the Male and Mother dragons, as well as the stone candle lamp.
I’m *thinking* of selling the Curled, and maybe the Scratching also.
I’m accepting offers on any and all. They’re all in excellent condition with original packaging, except the Mother who has some flea bites and some of the gold paint has rubbed off. I am intending to touch her up and can send you before pics (if you catch me in the next day or two and want me to skip the repairs let me know) and if I do touch her up, after pics. Non – smoking home. No chips or repairs, though I did glue the dragon candle lamp eyes in because they kept popping out.
I have a Young Rainbow and Lap Rainbow on the way. I’d like to add the Rising Spectral Rainbow, but first —
I’m thinking of getting a Rainbow Scratching Dragon to go with the Lap. And I don’t want two of the same statue (I already have Scratching in peacock). On the other hand, of all my peacock dragons, the Scratching Dragon has my favorite version of that color scheme – the colors just seem so much more vibrant on the scratcher for some reason. I know the Spectrals, Scratchers and curled were made with more vibrant colors than the older peacock dragons like Male and Mother. I haven’t seen a Rainbow Scratching Dragon in person, so I don’t know how it compares to the peacock. Is it comparably just as bright?
So – opinions on which one YOU like better – Scratching Dragon in Peacock or in Rainbow? Should I sell my Peacock Scratcher in favor of the Rainbow Scratcher? Keep both (if I can afford to, that’s a no-brainer)? Is there another Rainbow Dragon out there that’s just so awesome I should drop everything and try to get that one? Thanks for your thoughts!
Welcome to the fourm! I am not sure if I would be the best person to offer you my opinion, I also really like the scratching Dragon sculpt but my most favorite is the Emperor. I have a peacock and a rainbow Emperor since I am trying to collect the emperor sculpt in every color scheme that it was produced in. I am not much for bright and vibrant colors, I personally prefer earth tones but I do really like the Rainbow Emperor! All of his colors go so great together and he is much more vibrant than the Peacock one!
I hope this helps and good luck with your collection! 😉
Here is a picture of my Rainbow Emperor….
And this is the Emerald Peacock color..which I find is also more vibrant thatn the Peacock…
I can’t seem to find a picture that I have of the Peacock color on its own or the rainbow with the Peacock but here is a picture of 4 different colors including the peacock, maybe this will help…

Jackid55 has a beautiful “mint” Lap dragon for sale and a great price.I have a rainbow hatcher too,just pm us if interested and there are Rainbow Scratchers in the Windstone store.There is a “Royal”Rainbow Hatching Kinglet on Ebay too 🙂
Every act matters.No matter how small💞
(Wanted......Brimstone Lap)
Male Hearth....one day🤞Dream on.Thanks for the input! I like the Emperor Dragon too, though for several years I made the mistake of displaying him on the highest shelf of my bookcase because he was too tall for anywhere else – and so he went underappreciated, because looking *up* at him you only see a whole lotta chest and a little chin 🙄 Now that I’ve learned to keep him low, I think he will enjoy more attention!
And I made a mistake on my first post and said I have the “coiled” dragon (mother with egg). What I *actually* have is the CURLED dragon in peacock (dragon curled around a crystal sphere). I edited my first post but just want to clarify.
Thanks for the heads-up on the lap dragon for sale. I’m only looking for it in Rainbow, is that what jackid has for sale?
Whatever doesn’t sell here will get posted on eBay in the next week or two.
I might just have to order the Rainbow Scratching, look at him next to my peacock scratcher, and decide from there whether to keep both or sell one 🙂
I’d love to have a full Rainbow Family but I don’t really get into the hatching dragons, so since I have limited $$$ resources I would get the Scratching for a dad, the Lap for a mom, I already have a Young on the way, and then a rainbow Toddler. It’s a perfect representation of my family (hubbie, me, and 2 little girls). I used to have the family with Male, Mother, Young, Toddler, and a hatching empress thrown in for good luck, but I like the poses, gold horns, and color vibrancy of the Scratching/Lap set much better. They just hadn’t made those guys yet when I collected my first family set (in the mid-late ’90s).
(My personal favorite remains the Young dragon. The Young peacock was my first Windstone ever, and sat in my van cupholder as I traveled and moved from Minnesota to Oregon to Chicago, back to Oregon, and on to Arizona. He’s been my little travel companion and guardian. He’s well traveled! 😀 )
Yada yada. Thanks for listening 😳
