Check this out! Did Windstone ever make candles? I haven’t reported this.
Yerrrggg!!! Report it quick – poor thing looks like it was skinned alive…
tdm :O
I believe this was reported earlier – a week or two ago when the eBay auction was still active.
Oh.. BTW… Yiks! Ugh! :OIN SEARCH OF MY NEXT GRAILS:

*** Come visit me on deviantArt at http://ela-hara.deviantart.comMay 20, 2014 at 6:27 pm #912855I believe that may be a copy. Some of the finer details look very deformed, and I feel very sure that I have seen others exactly like this before.
May 20, 2014 at 9:47 pm #912860I could be totally wrong but I am leaning twords really good fake. Aside of the eyes, if you look carfully at the crappy photos, I can spot a what *appears* to be a couple of bubbles and on the last picture, most of the signiture looks squished together, or flatish. It could just be a bad paint job but..
See the bubble? And the “Peña” is squished up on the left.
I see a bubble in this one too V
edit : here is a normal pena on a young:

Is that an opal for its forehead jewel? That would actually be kind of cool on PYO.May 21, 2014 at 6:20 am #912886I saw that one on ebay and thought why is that so weird looking with the dark paint and strange eyes? That could make sense if someone tried to make it out of a mold. Who was selling molds though? Were they counterfeit ones?
Looking for rainbow or pink & teal grab bags!
May 21, 2014 at 3:48 pm #912895I also think it’s a fake.
I’ve put opals in PYOs and Windstones before. It’s pretty.

Who knows who was selling them? Someone with poor ethics. They are indeed counterfeit molds if someone is producing and selling them. This has happened before– most frequently with the male.

I have that exact same piece. I got it back in ’98, from a store called “San Francisco”. It was one of those stores that sells all the weird stuff, a lot of dragon sculpts, funny shirts, lava lamps. They had shelves of these, all young dragons, all in peacock. They cost $8. I got it because I wanted a windstone for my dorm, but I wasn’t about to leave a real one there (my fakie got stolen and ransomed several times!)

It is posted exactly the way you guys post your auctions up. It bugs me. I hate false advertisement, but this ridiculous..

There were two of these Ugly Things up earlier this morning! I sent a message to the Seller on both of them indicating that they were definitely NOT Windstone sculptures.
Ugggg! :~

*** Come visit me on deviantArt at http://ela-hara.deviantart.comJune 4, 2014 at 5:22 pm #913583I sent the link to John this morning. The whole listing was weird, like bits of descriptions from other people’s items all pasted together. It seems to be gone now.
June 4, 2014 at 7:52 pm #913590I saw it, laughed, and then reported it to ebay 🙂
June 15, 2014 at 11:06 pm #914214It looks like this guy has a Unicorn Gargoyle among his ancestors, but I don’t think it qualifies as copyright infringement:

June 15, 2014 at 11:46 pm #914215The concept of the design itself is certainly a rip off though, no doubt there.
