Yep, there it is…I know I had seen it before. Should John be informed about it?
Yes he should!
I just informed John on your behalf.
I always inform which member found the infrigment/copy.Oh crap. That reminds me. I found some in Londonderry mall that looked like the gargoyle wall scone (exactly like). Except plastic and ugly. But that was also a while ago and this guy only comes around at Christmas anyway. He’s probably long gone.
That and I don’t have a picture. My fiancee can’t get them off his blackberry – he lost the cord.
I wonder if that dude casted them himself out of the original 😕 ….
It wouldn’t be hard to do considering the type of sculpture it is. But you said they were plastic – interesting. To bad you can’t post the pics.I found these up on ebay. Pretty weird looking but obviously knock offs. already emailed John

I don’t think most people eve realize that [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vintage_(disambiguation)]vintage[/url] applies to things that are typically more than 20 years old. I don’t have a scratcher so I can’t check the copyright date, but considering it wasn’t issued until 1996 I wouldn’t imagine it to be too much before that. That means even the scratcher himself isn’t even old enough to be considered “Vintage” yet.
Exactly. I didn’t know that the term “vintage” was already applicable after 20 years – I was thinking more like 50. But as you say – either way the word is misused in this auction.
I agree that 20 years is a bit young for vintage, but I know that clothing (and some toys) from the 1980s are considered vintage now. A car that is 20 years old isn’t quite a vintage car so the vintage classification varies a bit.
I wasn’t able to take any photos, but we went to the state fair yesterday, and a vendor there was selling a couple knockoffs. They were very rough looking copies of the male dragon. Looked like a mold was made from one and used to cast these clay-looking sculpts. The vendor’s name was Kicking Bird Pottery of Tennessee.
