      Melody. I was unpacking and rearranging my Collection to make room for some of the new pieces I’ve won/bought over the past few months and I noticed something odd. I won a Sitting Spectral in the LP Red Fire with all the rainbow speckles. I set it up on my shelf and it sparkled like a crimson jewel in the sunlight. My eyes must have looked like giant saucers as I gazed in awe of all it’s glory! hahaha! …wait, I got sidetracked, hehe…

      Anyway, I also won a LP fledgling in Red Fire too, but it doesn’t have any of the rainbow specks like the Spectral does. It’s basically the same as one you would by in a store, just signed. Were the Fledglings, or any of the other Limited Red Fire pieces just special because they were signed, or did they all have the sparkle auto paint? I just wondered if my Fledgie somehow was missed or if they were all like that.

      Also, if anybody else won a LP Red Fire did they notice that too??

          I won a fledge as well and to be honest, I couldn’t tell the difference between it and the store fledge. I thought I was doing it wrong 😆 Glad to know my sunlight isn’t broken! 😆
          Now I’m kinda bummed. I want to see the pretty sparklys!

          #694448

          Didn’t the auctions always say the LP RF pieces were painted with special automotive paint? 😕

          #694449

          Yes, they did. I’m sorry you both can’t see the sparklies! Have you tried different kinds of artificial light?

            Here is the description of the RED FIRE FLEDGLING DRAGON sold on eBay:
            ARTIST DESCRIPTION

            RED FIRE FLEDGLING DRAGON WITH MAGIC INVISIBLE PAINT

            This is the last one of these “Red Fire” fledglings we will be offering here on Ebay.

            Except for the signature and magic invisible paint, this dragon is identical to Red Fire Fledgling Dragons that are available from your Windstone dealer for about $74.00

            She is airbrushed with flaming bright red and fiery gold metallic paint. The red color of her body is slightly transparent and sparkles with flecks of metallic gold. This special dragon is painted with magic invisible paint in addition to the golden flecks that all of our Red Fire dragons will have. This is a special auto paint that only is visible under a point source of light or in sunlight! It appears as gorgeous specks of rainbow colored glitter. She has orange glass eyes and a gold colored Swarovski jewel set in her forehead.

            Now the Spectral Dragon in “Red Fire”:

            ARTIST DESCRIPTION
            Spectral Dragon in “Red Fire” with Magic Invisible Paint.
            This is the “Red Fire” Spectral Dragons we are offering here on Ebay.
            Except for the signature and magic invisible paint, this dragon is identical to Red Fire Spectrals that are available from your Windstone dealer for about $172.00.
            He is airbrushed with flaming bright red and fiery gold metallic paint. The red color of his body is slightly transparent and sparkles with flecks of metallic gold. In addition to the golden flecks this color of dragon will always have, he is painted with magic invisible paint. This is a special auto paint that only shows under a point source light or in sunlight! It appears as gorgeous specks of rainbow colored glitter.

            He has crystal globes for eyes that reflect different colors depending on the light angle. They also will shine back at you in very low light, like a cat’s eyes. He has a light topaz colored jewel in his forehead – the same color as the Red Fire dragons.

                The thing is, my red fire OW is regular production, and when the sunlight hits him, he’s got sparklies too. My friend actually asked me this weekend if he had been painted with car paint ❓

                Read my books! Volume 1 and 2 of A Dragon Medley are available now.

                  All red fire have some sparklies. The eBay ones have (or… should have) EXTRA sparklies that are definitely rainbow colored- it’s crazy looking. There is a difference in the level of ‘glitter’ look to it.

                    You can REALLY tell with the Spectral. It even almost has a rougher feel to it like auto paint would. The Fledge looks exactly like the production one with just slight redish gold flecks, but good to see I’m not alone. Thanks Phoenix for confirming.

                    Maybe I should post some pictures of the difference now that it’s sunny out…

                        It looks like that spectral has the ‘magic’ paint for sure. It does make them a bit rough sometimes, and kinda ‘dusty’ in photos (the effect is so pretty in person though!). The fledge looks like he doesn’t have it. Hopefully Melody can help you out on this one. 🙁

                          The pictures almost look pixilated on the Spectral but they’re not at all. It’s the sparklies. They really do make such and amazing difference just as Jennifer says!

                          The Special RF Mother I got definitely has the sparklies.

                          I love the special paint, makes me wish I could afford more of them.

                          #694459

                          Your Spectral looks beautiful!! I had no idea the sparklies made that much of a difference!! I’m sorry about your fledgling, though. I can see why you’d be disappointed!
