Mother Dragon PYO?

[Amphisbaena]

I’m trying to help someone on a different forum ID their sculpture. It’s definitely the mother dragon sculpt, but it’s been damaged over the years (very well loved) and the paint touched up to the point that I can’t say what color it was originally. It has no felt pad on the bottom and they got it in the 90’s. They think it is a PYO, but I’ve not heard of that sculpt being offered as PYO. Was it?

It is me

nope, if a sculpt is in normal production item, it will never become a PYO….and PYOs don’t become normal production items……..while Melody does change her mind sometimes before she may release something, once she does, it can only be the one thing and never the other…..

4 things I'm looking for:
1. Mother Meerkat
2. production color Sitting Young Oriental dragons to be made in more colors besides VF, Brimstone would be awesome!
3. Female Griffin – Siamese with White
4. September Raffle Prize 2022 AHD Male Griffin

A few people do repaints though it’s a bit frowned upon I think. But it may have been the only choice to repair the sculpture. Some paints are hard to match. But it sounds like the sculpture was repainted as part of its repair process

If the dragon has no felt pad on the bottom, and has a Windstone stamp, it originally was brown or green. If there is no Windstone stamp I suppose it is possible that the felt has been removed.

Or, as you probably know, there have been knock-off versions of Windstone dragons over the years. They usually are resin rather than gypsum and often the eyes are part of the cast rather than glass eyes. I’m guessing that you can tell whether this dragon is original or a knock-off?

The stamp on the bottom of no-pad Windstones looks like this:
