            That’s supposed to be an official factory re- or test paint? Uh, what does Windstone say about it?

              That is kinda weird.
              According to the listing – The dealer who sold this dragon to the seller also had some yellow and baby blue colored dragons? I’m curious how they looked. 😕

                I know this came up at one point- I just can’t seem to find the thread!! I’ve gotta ask Melody. Something about a collector, or store, that re-painted a bunch of dragons red, as there were a ton of requests for them. I am pretty sure that they were not factory painted… I seem to remember Melody saying they were repaints. I gotta ask because my memory is fuzzy.

                  A store did that? God I bet that was a mess for windstone. What did they do about it? Oh and I second the ewwwww.

                    I seem to remember calling the factory several years ago about something… and whoever I talked to was telling me about people calling and asking about red dragons and telling them there was a store that had red dragons… and asked if my store here (when we had one that sold them) had any of the mystery red dragons…

                    because they hadn’t painted any… (this before ruby came out)..

                      Something like that, yes! I can’t quite remember what happened. Something like someone bought a bunch and painted them red themselves, because so many people were asking about red dragons, or something….

                      Our entry for “Red Dragons” on the Encyclopedia reads:

                      Quote:

                      Early in the new millennium we had lots of inquiries about Windstone Editions dragons in an unusual red color. This is what we were told by the manufacturer:
                      “Red dragons have never left our factory – the ones that [another store had] were originally white dragons that someone re-painted red & were found at an estate sale in Florida. They were not painted red by anyone here – my guess is that someone was so desperate for a set of red that they painted up some themselves – we’ve heard of this happening with some of our other items in the past.”
                      Then, of course, late in 2003, Windstone Editions came out with the Ruby coloration, so they do finally have a sort of “red” dragon now.

                          That must have been done to a white dragon considering the straw eyes…how sad 😥

                            If the store was a Windstone Dealer I wonder what Melody did? She should have fired them as a dealer or at the very least given them a very serious warning not to do it again.

                              I think it was unknown who repainted them.
