Hyena Gargoyle? Am I right? Looks like this is a “store” too. Somebody might want to report this. I don’t know how to do it myself. :~

This is a recast. A good one at that, but still a recast. At least I am 99% sure it is. The eyes are painted which is a tell tale sign. Usually the people who make these are smart enough to alter the logo enough so it doesn’t say PENA right on it (hence they wouldn’t get in as much trouble for a direct recast). Which is why I say be careful and look at what you’re buying! They may have even been smart ehough to put real jewels in, it’s hard to tell. As far as knock offs go, it’s a well done one.
Also, not saying the seller made thisor intentionally is selling knowing it’s a knock off, it’s possible they don’t even know it’s a fake.

It’s got a slightly squashed look to it, and oh dear those eyes …. But the thing that bugs me the most is the way it’s painted so much like an Old Peacock. That’s particularly bad manners from whoever made it. 😐 I do hope the seller is truly not aware it’s a fake.
Either way, it’s been reported.June 28, 2014 at 6:26 pm #914851Hi,
I don’t know if it already have been report, but in few french websites I found candles do on the model of Male and Mother dragon, I give you links :
They don’t tell on description that it’s a Windstone’s model, is it normal ?
And sorry for my grammar, I didn’t have write english since a few months 🙂

Your fine. However, this is a full blown copyright infringement. Did you email John about it? I haven’t seen this before myself, but maybe some others have.

Be aware, new forum members, that a company in Mexico made fakes that are still showing up from time to time in the market.
There are other threads in this forum that covers how to tell a fake.

July 4, 2014 at 5:25 pm #915187Just curious… Is this real or a fake?
Its a brown mother dragon, she has blue eyes. When I looked her up on http://www.astralcastle.com/windstone/wsframe.htm the eyes did not look blue, rather a orange or light brownish color (pic isnt the best so hard to tell) …
So, is this listing on ebay real or not? Maybe it is a real one, but I cant find anything else like her online that is similar to her color scheme.
July 4, 2014 at 5:46 pm #915191Ok thanks 🙂 Is there an area here on this site, or elsewhere online, that shows the sculpts that are not old old, but are no longer in production ? Cause I could not find this one on here, maybe Im looking in the wrong spot?
Thanks again 🙂

She should be real. The Astral Castle site shows the Old Old Old Brown mother dragon that was one of the first pieces released. She did have gold eyes – the later Old Brown dragon family had blue eyes (as any other Brown dragon sculpt on Astral Castle should show).
The ravnheart database has a photo of the later brown mother dragon:
