Someone selling photos of Windstone https://www.etsy.com/listing/92307579/year-of-the-dragon-dragon-head-close-up?ref=sr_gallery_3&sref=sr_6a66cdb19dd438d4fb704dae90a23e573025b73bdbf1e316be32b09af1904090_1398369493_14105846_head&sref2=OTIzMDc1Nzk.%3AaGVhZA..%3AMTQxMDU4NDY.%3AZHJhZ29uIGhlYWQ.%3AdzI.%3AMTM5ODM2OTQ5Mw..%3AMjoxMzk4MzY5NDkzOnViYVc0bkxYaUVxblpzLWtPUFotYlZJNGwzNFU6d1pUTm5MZVllYmQ2Q1FpTTFqTVJ3Wk9iYmd2eTpkMzk0YTQyMjE5MDEyMWYxNzgxMmNlOTczZjUzNjNkODFmYjBjODE4%3Aaf6bc4e4965b8f24d86533791601c2864de44a7e&ga_search_query=dragon+head&ga_ship_to=ZZ&ga_page=2&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery
They don’t claim it’s their dragon just that they took the photo & are selling the photo so not sure where this falls
April 24, 2014 at 8:23 pm #911896That’s just bizarre. I definitely would call it infringement personally, just because it is a photo of something that is copywritten.

Excellent!
April 24, 2014 at 10:05 pm #911903I don’t know if this one has been reported yet, but here it is. I don’t think the seller knows it’s a fake Windstone. This one is really scary looking IMO.

April 29, 2014 at 2:43 am #912073Looks like a fake sculpt, see the green felt. And the paint likes similar but really heavy-handed? I don’t think it’s just really old, it’s…chunky looking.

It’s definitely a fake. These ones can be very similar to real old greens, but the bulging blue eyes and green felt are two of the dead give-aways. I wrote up a guide to these things twice. They are buried somewhere in this forum.
April 30, 2014 at 2:36 am #912121Could someone report the fake i posted a couple of posts up? I’m having computer troubles right now. Posting this with my phone. It’s a bit of a pain. Thanks in advance if someone does.
April 30, 2014 at 3:59 am #912125I think they like… altered this one, but used the male dragon heavily as their basis?
Those eyes. I’m dying a little, haha.
April 30, 2014 at 6:30 am #912126Eugh. That thing is traumatizing just to look at!

Actually, I contacted this Seller yesterday afternoon about this fake Windstone Mother Dragon, and they were appreciative of the information. Here is the response I received:
“Dear elahar, Hi: Thanks for the heads up on the dragon. I was not familiar with this company or artist and did not realize it was a fake. I have ended the item and will toss. Again, thanks very much for the information. It is hard to imagine someone would go to the trouble of copying something that is not that expensive. Best, Maida & Bill – connectibles”IN SEARCH OF MY NEXT GRAILS:
Black Peacock & Butternut Adult Poads

Very ugly, in my opinion. The eyes are creepy for sure though.
Looking for-
red fire young dragon
old animal line frog, wolf, barn owl, tortoise, tiger cubMay 9, 2014 at 12:51 am #912384Check this out! Did Windstone ever make candles? I haven’t reported this.
May 9, 2014 at 1:29 am #912388No candles that I know of. That is very funny, never thought anyone would do that. Nice pink though.

This guy just looks wrong. His eyes are creepy.
May 20, 2014 at 12:59 pm #912846I am guessing he is a real Windstone that someone modified – new eyes, different jewel, and additional paint. The casting looks sharp to me so I don’t think it is a copy, but maybe someone else can tell for sure.
You might as well send it to John, just in case.
