O.K., I just wanted to know how many people saw Melody’s Dragon in Season 5 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer? I started giggling so hard because I saw her dragon in Giles’s magic shop and my keepsake box was in there too! Did anyone else catch that? 😆

Were we made fun of, like in the other episodes?
I have NEVER watched that show and after learning that they made fun of Windstones I’m happier now that I have never seen it
They made fun of your pieces? Sacrilege! I never noticed that they made fun of them. My friend’s roommate has all of them and talked me into watching it. I still find Buffy to be whiny. Heaven help me I am on season 6 now. I haven’t started it. You see why I need to paint Windstones? Otherwise I waste my time on stuff like this. (Actually its all about my 2 year old. If I miss a ton of the show I really haven’t missed anything and I can still keep up. Plus I don’t really care if I miss it. I haven’t watched a full show of anything since he was born unless it was on after 8:00PM.) Still, I thought it was pretty cool that they had your piece in a magic shop as if it was magical. I have always thought so.

I noticed the Windstone Unicorns in Buffy S5E2:Real Me a while back and posted about them on the forum. If you want to see the previous thread go here.
That’s kinda neat, I guess. How did they make fun of it?

I seemed to remember an episode that had Windstone Unicorns in it so I pulled the discs out started looking for them. I found them in Season 5, Episode 2: Real Me.
Settting up the scene with the unicorn is this snippet of the script.
GILES: (wandering back into view) I bet the death rate keeps the rent down. (pauses) Oh, hello. Something’s been taken from this case, look here.
He goes over to a case where the glass has been knocked out.
BUFFY: What’d they take?
Willow looks in the inventory book.
GILES: I should think an item of, of value, or-or power, possibly even a-
WILLOW: A unicorn. 10-inch ceramic unicorn imported from Thailand.
BUFFY: Was it valuable?Giles stares in puzzlement at the empty case.
WILLOW: (OS) List price, $12.95.
GILES: Which begs the question, what kind of an unholy creature fancies cheap tasteless statuary?
Cut to head shot of Harmony.
HARMONY: Okay, hi. First of all, I wanna thank everybody for a really successful raid on the magic shop last night. (applauding) Good job, minions!We see Harmony in the underground lair, wearing a skimpy black top and shiny gold pants. Four male vampires are standing around. They applaud along with her, a little uncertainly. They are Brad, Cyrus, Peaches, and Mort. Mort is very tall and large, whereas the others are fairly average-sized.
HARMONY: Yes, you deserve it. Secondly… (turns away to reach for something) somebody remembered to pick me up the sweetest little unicorn! (Holds up the ceramic unicorn and smiles at Brad. The other vamps stare at him.)
BRAD: (whispering to other vamps) What?
HARMONY: Brad, guess someone was feeling guilty for standing me up in the tenth grade. (Admiring the unicorn)
BRAD: (to other vamps) I, I had to get her something. She sired me.
Peaches: (to Cyrus) Sire-whipped.We see Mort adding the unicorn to a large collection of other unicorn statues sitting on a table.
In the second picture you can also see the mother unicorn, the young unicorn and I believe 2 unicorn gargoyles.
Now we all know these aren’t $12.95 ceramic unicorns imported from Thailand, but it’s good to see them anyway. They also made another appeance later inside The Magic Shop but I don’t remember what was going on in the episode to find them.
Oh and I lightened the pictures up to make things easier to see.
$12.95.
lawlz.
Melody’s drinks cost more than that. 😆
Man…I can’t believe I missed that scene.
Sorry Windstones were sorta made fun of, but I’d be flattered that gathered so many of your pieces together for those two scene, nonetheless.
I admit to being a Buffy fan…and I’ve seen all 7 seasons…and honestly, while there was a bit of a dip in the quality of the show around the 5th season, it picked back up and the last two seasons were really good. Especially the 7th season ender.
Anyway, they could have chosen any unicorn statue out there, and while they disparaged it a bit, they still used the best. Yours. So give them a little credit, they didn’t actually use a real cheap unicorn that really was made in Thailand…and they could have.
Think of it this way, free advertising…those out there who are Buffy fans, some of them noticed the details of that scene, who knows, you may have made a few sales from those scenes. It’s possible.
Because I know many of the fan sites do have question and answer forums, like we do here, someone at some point probably asked where that unicorn that Harmony was holding came from.

If you look up that particulat episode on TV.com you’ll see a note about the unicorns that I joined specifically to add. I’ve been meaning to see what you have to do to add notes on IMDB.com since they have notes on television episodes. I thought I figured it out one time but my son unplugged the power strip to the computer. 🙄 I’d actually forgetten about trying to get it up until just now.
Well I figured out how to sumbit it to IMDB.com. I’ll update when/if it gets added to the episode listing there.
