Hello again one more question??,
As you have brought back a family and many color variations for the Gryphons would you consider a Flion family and new paint job as well!!. I have been trying to get my hands on the original for a few years now but alas Im usually outbid last minute or the statues are damaged!!!.
Welcome to the forum. I believe that she is planning on working on a new flion, but the mold is warped from the old one. Some one can correct me if I am wrong.
The word on the street is that we will see a Flion again in the future! 😉

I am re-sculpting the Flion. I was going to just fix the original one, to correct the accumulated distortions that happened to the sculpt while I wasn’t paying attention.
It needed so much work, (almost the whole thing needed re-sculpting) that I decided to turn the head the other way while I was at it, so it can be a new Flion facing the other way. Maybe I can make a family for them too, someday.
I have another new Flion sculpture I’ve been poking at, but it is larger, so it isn’t part of the same family.Is it really that hard to resculpt a warped mold? I mean, you don’t have to work from the warped version, can’t you just take an existing flion prototype from one of the earlier molds and make a mold from that?
I’m no expert, but I thought you could just take an existing model and create a plaster casting from it.
Tell me if I am a total moron, cause you know, you’re the experts not me.

Yes, if we could find one. You don’t know us. We can never find anything.

That is what I did. I fixed a plaster casting of the original.

You are not a total moron. You are right on.
Sweeeet!!! ^_^ I love opposing sculpts. I wish there were more.
