Ouch! Worth it, but oh that puts a serious dent in your pocket.

Glad you won him and are happy.

I might be willing to go that high for a ALSK, but not much else.

lamortefille, I just noticed your avatar photo. I like it a lot! What’s it called or who is it by?

Thanks! It’s a black & white photo of a cemetery monument. I found it on the web a while ago. I don’t know where it was taken. I know there is one in Cypress Lawn Cemetery in CA, but I’m not sure if this is the same weeping angel.

[Maria]

That angel seems pretty popular. I wonder what famous sculpture is the original.

[Krimsen]

I did some research, it is the weeping angel or angel of grief. I hope to get a print of it.

Congrats on the dragon maebnus3! Let me know if you ever want to sell it 😆

It seems the original was sculpted by William Wetmore Story for his wife. I don’t about prints, but I know they sell a small sculpture…

No kidding! Our tax money didn’t pay much off for long…. Ohh, the anime I could’ve bought…. But he is my only OOAK direct from Windstone, and I only have a few of the limited pieces, so what the heck. He was too pretty for me to ignore. 😀

Thanks! And yeah, keep dreaming :P:wink: I’ll be divorced and living in my parent’s house again before that’ll happen. 😆 (ack, knock on wood!)

That looks simular to the album cover of Once. A album by Nightwish.

[Maria]

😆 I have that album.

Congrats! He is a beauty!

While hiding somewhere in my head I'm on the lookout for white oriental dragons! Please let me know if you know of any available. Thank you!

hehe, that is funny. I don’t think I have that album, but that band is my favorite.

[Jessica]

CONGRATS!! He’s my favorite OW by FAR and I wanted him something terrible. **GREEN WITH ENVY** However, after spending a bunch on the brown emperor last month, I’m in the recovery phase and couldn’t bid more than $1500. Nice win!! Please post pics!! 😉

[Bob]

the black one on the cart with the red horns is still my favorite and I have seen the cart of them at the wharehouse
