They are extremely ugly, but you can tell they are an attempt to copy the royal hatchlings nonetheless.
The quanity listed is 50, that is a lot.

February 17, 2008 at 8:21 pm #666372Yeah there is a whole set of those ugly looking dragons…

February 17, 2008 at 8:23 pm #666373Will they ever stop! 👿
February 17, 2008 at 8:27 pm #666374I see those everywhere.
February 17, 2008 at 9:57 pm #666375I’ve seen those before… I saw a different one from the same line at a thrift store. I forget which Windstone it looked like, but I think it had a little clock with it… blah. Those things are ugly. x.x
February 18, 2008 at 2:37 am #666376They look like a parody of the real thing! Those things would give me nightmares! 😡

February 18, 2008 at 2:46 am #666378I’ve seen a lot of those too. They don’t look very good at all. You can tell that they are trying to copy the peacock coloring. At least that’s what it looks like to me.
My most wanted list: Peacock kitty wizard, carnelian mouse wizard, copper patina frog wizard, autumn leaf poads, pumpkin spice kitties
February 18, 2008 at 6:27 am #666379Once again. And speaking of once again, wouldn’t it be a good idea to make a continuous thread of copyright infringments, instead of starting a new one every time?
February 18, 2008 at 7:28 am #666380I’m sorry, what is it about them that directly rips off the hatchlings? Maybe it’s because they are small in the picture and maybe it’s just me but from what I can see, being hatching dragons and purple/blue in colour isn’t what people are refering to, is it? To me, they look pretty different from the distinctive Windstone dragon…
February 18, 2008 at 8:24 am #666381It’s more than just this single piece, though the left hand in particular stands out to me (Hatching Empress has hers curled the same way). Whoever makes these has made other Windstone knockoffs too. One piece could be considered coincidental, but multiple pieces cannot. They don’t even bother to face them a different way. And I believe it’s been discussed about their paint schemes too. If I’m thinking of the right ones, peacock and rainbow have both been done… not very well, but close enough (with specific color placement too).

I’m gonna second GB here, I found this one and already sent it to John, and I’m just gonna add it here instead of starting a new thread. It’s a mold too, rotten $^&^$%#%$@#$. 👿
