Went to eBay to check out that Mystic Umber male everyone’s praising (he is beautiful!), and found this along the way.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Windstone-Editions-Baby-Dragons-Hatching-Egg-Large-6-wide-/382068942479?hash=item58f515668f:g:GTEAAOSwX61ZCMWVMay 3, 2017 at 6:35 am #1523741Yeah I saw that too – however someone must have pointed out the mistake because the seller took down that original posting and reposted it under the heading/description: Baby Dragons Hatching Egg Large 6″ wide.
IN SEARCH OF MY NEXT GRAILS:
Black Peacock & Butternut Adult Poads
Kickstarter 'Rainbow Tiger' Bantam Dragon*~*~*~* Ela_Hara: The DragonKeeper *~*~*~*
*** Come visit me on deviantArt at http://ela-hara.deviantart.comJuly 4, 2017 at 7:06 am #1527401Was looking through Ebay, found this listing. I think the three-headed dragon looks way too much like a hatching Kinglet/Emperor. I actually think a similar one was in this thread….
Finding happiness again.
July 8, 2017 at 6:48 pm #1527545Just found this, looks like an infringement as this is not Umber dragon. It is a peacock, and amazed to see that the seller is gone until the 12th.

They probably did “sell similar” button and forgot to change the title. They might not know they messed up. Has anyone messaged them yet?
August 26, 2017 at 6:07 pm #1529331I came across this on ebay. Very similar to one of Melody’s prints. It is described as NOS, so presumably not something made recently, but I am sending it to John anyway.
August 27, 2017 at 10:41 am #1529345Okay this is a pretty good one bone male dragon. Sold by a ebay seller in Arizona. Says its made in Mexico. eBay item number:

My keyboard is broken. I keep pressing "Escape", but I'm still here.

it doesn’t seem legit in any way, anyhoo, I’ve been emailing John the info I’ve gotten from it, he should take care of it…

Yea… I just was popping in to see if anyone brought this one up. It’s not a reproduction/rip off sculpt judging from the detail and the missing eyes… but also not any piece I’ve ever seen before… Looks to me like a Young Poad in the mid stages of some kind of repaint that was never finished…

Wow, that might be a legitimate, if ancient, old brown mother dragon, maybe one of the first? Or a repaint… the eyes used to look like this on the first ones. I can ask Melody! Looks like someone bought her.

My art: featherdust.comMarch 11, 2018 at 9:14 pm #1536087There is a green female dragon on eBay right now that I think is a fake. I don’t know how to link to it but it is listed as: Vintage green jeweled resting mother dragon by Melody Pena 1985. The seller is duchess133. I asked the forum because it has slightly bulgy blue eyes, and a green felt pad with no stamp. Skylover said that they had seen one like that before and it was fake. There are also a few bubbles visible in one of the pictures of the wings.
