Ugliness is relative. My mother thought quite a few Enchantica dragons were ugly, and those are very expensive!
I have to aggree with your mother- Enchantica dragons don’t really float my boat. I guess we all have different tastes! Don’t kill me. 😆

I was just showing one to a nice lady who was in with her daughter. They were looking for a dragon to give to Dad for his birthday, because he loves dragons.
I got the impression that this was a major present from the family, not just something from the daughter, but although they looked at a few of Melody’s Dragons, Mom was clearly seeing the price and not the Dragon.
Then they saw the cheaper mass-produced dragons, hand-painted in China and made of genuine Alabasterite. There was this one with the egg and young dragon, a single dragon, a two headed dragon, and a wizard.
They ended up buying the two-headed dragon, because it was so cool.
I think when you have only about $25 to your name, these dragons are really not as ugly as most of us here would like to believe.
I can definatly relate to having limited funds and I have to admit I have a number of resin and alabasterite type dragons myself. They are some really cool and well made ones out there. I never really liked that paticular sculpture, thats all I was saying 😉 .

Ah, I wouldn’t kill you! I too see some Enchantica pieces as being, shall we say, visually unappealing! 😆 There are quite a few that I like, though.
Is it just me or has some one not only knocked of the look of the Wizard’s Retreat, but several of the gargoyles as well?
LOL I actually had that ‘knock-off’ gargoyle. I looks like the Roaring one, right? It’s funny because when I bought it I thought it looked really familar, then I later found out why 🙄 . I think it ended up being sold in a yard sale or something a while ago. I’m not really into gargoyles anymore anyways….

Yeah! The roaring one! That’s what I was thinking of, I could picture the sculpt in my mind… and was drawing a blank otherwise. 🙄
I just found a couple! They both look like Mother Dragon knockoffs. Here’s the first one:
And the second one. This one is a known knockoff in a different finish.
Does anyone else think the first one is a knockoff? It has a fairy in it, but still. 😕
The second sure is. I hope the first isn’t, I really want that for my garden. I’ve been looking forever. Quick let me know!!!
I don’t think the first one would be concidered a knock-off, it’s just a dragon curled around a fairy The scales and wings don’t look anything like the mother dragon. But the second one John has gotten it before.
The first one? Probably not. Nothing about it reads as “Windstone” to me.
The second one probably is, and is one that John knows about. 🙂

My art: featherdust.comI agree with everyone… a dragon lying down would be hard to copyright, there has to be more then the basic pose to be copyright, I think. Like similar style of head, scales, color, etc. Or the EXACT same pose, and this one isn’t exactly the same.

I have this mold…I’d have to look at his date, but he may be older than Melody’s work…not sure though.
I have one here…setting it next to Melody’s…it is a lot bigger almost as big as the Royal hatchers, also Mel’s baby has both front paws out, tail and a wing, this guy has only one leg out and his tail, the wings only stick up but neither are out, he has no rock base and his egg is broken in a totally different manner.
Comparing the two, I don’t consider this piece a knockoff. I will also look at my mold and find out the copyright date on it…if I am right, it may be older than Mel’s little dragon.
