The item number is 221631342199 and the link is http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mother-Dragon-Windstone-Editions-by-M-Pena-Retired-Vintage-85-/221631342199?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item339a41e677. I don’t know how to report it to eBay since it doesn’t seem to fit in any of the reasons they list to report it.
January 10, 2015 at 1:42 pm #924069Is that an Old Green dragon with a little “touch-up”?

If you look close, you can see chip along the spine and some are totally gone. I’m pretty sure they didn’t know how to repair it or match the color, so they just repainted the spine with on hand paint.

January 23, 2015 at 3:52 am #924515I don’t think of this as a rip off. people are going to make dragons and the paint scheme is not that uncommon. i think calling this a rip off would be a stretch. Its quite hideous actually haha.
January 23, 2015 at 4:07 am #924517There’s really only so many ways you can sculpt a dragon lying down. And though the color scheme is quite similar to Windstone’s Peacock, especially with the blue eyes, like Betrluk1 said, it’s not that uncommon of a color for fantastical beasts. I think it’s different enough that calling it infringement is a bit far-fetched.

If dragons like this were produced in quantity and sold, questions of infringement probably depend on Windstone’s “trade dress” protections. I believe that the company does not want to have PYOs painted in production and LP colors – maybe somebody else knows more about this.
February 13, 2015 at 1:39 am #925659I saw a fake windstone dragon on e-bay. I am not sure how to post a picture of it on here? I have it saved to my e-bay page in my watching list. The seller is johnswaysidetreasures. John I hope you can fine it, if I can help let know.

It is best to send the information directly to John – john@windstoneeditions.com
February 13, 2015 at 6:04 pm #925692Yes that is the one, did you sent it to John? Do you want me to do it?
February 13, 2015 at 6:11 pm #925695Yes that is the one, did you sent it to John? Do you want me to do it?
I did not send it to John – go ahead and let him know.
