I think I saw the pictures on FB, if the ones recently added are the same ones you’re talking about. Gorgeous!! I can’t wait to see these pieces completed. And I’m so excited about the standing kirin colts. Are those the ones Melody’s been talking about doing as GBs? Because I am so down for that.
I’ll have to see what I can do to be able to afford one of the bm laps on the wheel. Well, assuming I don’t miss them again. Thank you for the estimate of a couple weeks though, that actually does help me. 🙂
Yes, I just put up the photos last night. 🙂 That was probably less than half of the photos I have, so I’ll be putting more up today/tomorrow. I was just too tired to label more.
Melody has said ‘maybe’ on a standing kirin grab bag – but since they are still having pad problems on those, she hasn’t started painting them. They may have to modify and recast the sculpts. I would say we’re probably at least a couple of months out on those.
She also needs to come up with a good stencil so she can cleanly paint fur versus scales. There is a chance they may just prove too challenging to be a grab bag, but we’ll see! She said no to curlie grab bags for years before finally doing one. 🙂 I love the standing kirin so I am hoping it works out eventually 🙂
Also, I can’t SWEAR on my estimate, it’s just a guess based on the state of the painting and the steps remaining. 🙂 It could be less or more depending on the fates! 🙂
I had no idea there were so many challenges to getting the statues made! I mean, I don’t think I necessarily thought it was easy, but there are just so many more difficulties with producing the statues (in general, not just the kirins) than I would have guessed just from looking at them. Padding in particular; I would have thought that would be the easiest part of the process, actually. It’s humbling in a way, and makes me more appreciative for what I have.
I really hope they do manage to get the situation sorted out for the kirin. It would give Windstone more opportunities to make money when they’ve already invested this much time and resources into the endeavor, but also I’m certain I can’t be the only one for whom the kirin are right up there at the top of my favorites/most sought-after sculpts. But they also seem to be one of the more difficult groups to collect currently; I have only seen any released in the ebay store. I managed to win two pieces that way, but given my income and the general price range that most ebay pieces seem to go for, those need to be very rare, once-in-a-blue moon things. Something with a static price- production, lp, gb, or special items in the we’s limited/special section, are things more in line with what I can manage. So, tl;dr, here’s hoping!!!
And in the meanwhile, I can wait on those gorgeous bm laps~ 🙂
There are half-painted blue morpho lap dragons on a painting wheel at the factory.
Some hatchers are started (they have the black base coat), but not much else.
There is a half a cart of risers waiting to be painted.
OWs are in finishing (so maybe next week?)
Coileds went into the store (male and mother) today!
And that was the “Blue Morpho Recap” from Kiya, your on the ground reporter!
Kiya , any word on the hoarder ? Will it be GB or LP ?
I’m not sure – I don’t think a decision has been made.
I’m excited for the Horder/Trover, but sort of relieved they are still on the waiting list per say. I need time to save up! LOL!
Got a busted Windstone?

Dreamscape, Orion, Poison Dart, Fireberry, Spangler + Tigerberry DragonsEvery time another one of these dragons comes out I yearn even harder to be moved out and have a credit card again… they are SO gorgeous!
However, my awesome boss has just kindly informed me that if I want to sneakily order something off the internet I can always have it shipped to our store. (She meant for presents for my family, but I think this could apply nicely to Windstones too haha.)
That is what I do, I have my Windstones shipped to the mail room at my work. The courier gets just as excited as I do when my packages come in.
*sigh* I want all the Blue Morphos, but have had to pass on most of them, they are just coming out too close together for me to recoup (well, most are sold out by the time I get online, anyway). Lol, oh well, my list of wants will just grow! XD
The “Blue Morpho” Old Warriors certainly sold out fast. People must have been ready and waiting for them to hit the store.
I barely got one! So happy. Been waiting on this one for awhile. Couldn’t afford it per se, but I guess it’s ramen for the next two weeks. When I looked (a literal minute after they were released) I only saw 4 in stock. Was that all there was I wonder?
I want one, but accidentally won an ebay auction last night, so I have to wait! 🙂
Don’t you hate it when that happens? I hope you got something good last night. 🙂

Whups! Was it something you like, at least, I hope?
Good lord, would I ever love to own one of these Morphos, certainly one of the most gorgeous colors to come from Windstone!
(BTW hi everyone I’m sort of new here XD )
Finding happiness again.

Haha, yes! I was really _happy_ to win it, just … surprised. I expected the auction to go up to double my bid so the fact it was below my max was… startling.
