“Fate whispers to the wolf, you cannot withstand the storm; and the wolf whispers back, I AM the storm.”
In the description of the Blue Pearl Curled dragon, it says it has a straw coloured eye and gold jewel. However, my Blue Pearl curl has a medium blue eye and pale blue jewel. I only came to notice this difference now because I was closely comparing just how similar the new Glacier curl is to the previous Blue Pearl. Anyone else that got a Blue Pearl, what colour eye does yours have, or better put, did anyone else wind up in my situation? I feel like the Blue Pearl and the Glacier (got it anyway because this is one of the sculpts we intend on having every store colour in; same with small flaps) are very similar just as I have thought the BG and Opopanax curls were very similar too.
But specifically, was my Blue Pearl differences a mistake? Is it a good mistake like the accidental jade pieces that are out there? Or is it a bad mistake (not that any WE “mistake” could actually be bad but you know what I mean). Being that the similar new Glacier one will have a blue eye, I’m kinda wishing my Blue Pearl had the straw coloured eye of the photo and description to help differentiate them from each other.
Thoughts??? :scratch:

It has to do with the batch. The first batch of Blue pearls had one eye color, straw, and the second batch had blue eyes.
The blue pearls if I remember correctly are light blue and pearl. I don’t think I got the color right on the glacier curlie. He is actually mint green and pearl.
I missed these,I want one,very pretty 😀
Every act matters.No matter how small💞

Male Hearth....one day🤞Dream on.Oh, it was a batch thing! That makes sense. So I guess I at least know that mine was not from the first batch if the first batch eye was straw and others that followed were medium blue (since mine has as blue eye). Hmm, bummer. Wish I could switch it out for straw since that contrast is way cooler.
And Pam, thanks for clearing up the colouring differences. Monitor shows them looking super similar however, I have to admit that when I did see Glacier on screen, it certainly put me in mind of the arctic and what an iceberg looks like just as it descends below waters surface. Hopefully when he arrives in person, he won’t look too much like his Blue Pearl brother. The display is done in alphabetical order (long story) so they will not be next to each other. But I remember when Opopanax got here, everyone was like “why do you have 2 of the same dragon?” referring to the BG. They are not collectors and didn’t notice the subtle differences like eye colour (which is a huge diff imo), nor did they pay attention to the slight differences on scales. They just saw lots of black and gold on both. Hopefully Glacier will (oh gosh, pun…) blow them out of the water 🙂
For our collection anyway, we have and will continue to get every single store curl. Some wild and stand out colours would be awesome though, like when the Amy and the AL came out. You can’t confuse them with anything else. Not a fan of bright yellow but certainly awaiting a Sunburst like style yellow & orange curl as something different and of course, a buckskin one as well as a tiger version if possible and a Mardi Gras inspired colour scheme too (I know … blending is a bee-otch for that scheme).
Thanks for all’s input and help!

Mine has a straw eye, but I do remember the 2nd batch getting the blue eyes by mistake.
Got a busted Windstone?

I say mistake because I recall that is what it was called. They were all suppose to have straw eyes but someone messed up along the way lol.
I happily have one of each of the Blue Curls. It took me a while to get them though, since I didn’t get one from the second batch, not knowing there were two different eye colors. I had to get the second one from a Forum member.
I also have one of each of the silvers (blue eyes and violet eyes). I still like the violet better. I hope Melody does more with the silver and violet eyes. What am I saying?! 🙄 I can’t afford more big dragons! No, Melody, don’t do more or I’ll be forced to buy them and all the work I’ve done in getting my bills paid down will be for nothing. 😳

Back in 2007, my cousin did a PYO dragon she named “Amethyst Ice” (this was well before the silver or amethysts came out). He is a sharp steel silver gray with lavender eyes, wings antiqued with a shade of amethyst and the scales antiqued with a darker steel. She has a piece of actual amethyst in the curl of her tail and a gold forehead jewel to match her gold claws. She had every intention of selling this piece before she even received it to paint but when it had arrived, one of its horns was broken. It was an easy glue back together and her painting appears to cover the seam very well. Mind you, neither of us are actual artists like some of you here but I think she did a good job on her Amethyst Ice.
Personally, I’d like to see some dragons with green eyes. IMO, we have enough blue eyes (all around, not just dragon sculpts) as well as enough red eyes. So, some straw and especially some green eyes would be hot (not dark green though but not too pale … a nice medium green, yet not olive either … no, I’m not picky! 😳 ).
As usual, always in favour with much squeakage for new store Curls, Small Flaps (def squeek* for a Batwing calico to be companion to the birdwing) as well as Coiled Mothers! And then of course, my signature says it all … BUCKSKIN HOOFERS!!!
