This guy really looks like one of the fake blue eyed greens that I happen to have one of. Before you bid, ask for a picture of the bottom of the piece. That will be really telling. The fakes have the bottom covered with green felt. “Windstone” won’t appear anywhere on one of these pieces, and I’ve noticed that Windstone is not in the auction anywhere. Pena would still appear because the fakes are cast off of the original. The dimensions of the pieces will actually be distorted too.

A knock-off may also be noticeably lighter in weight than a real one, though a seller would have trouble knowing that. You can weigh a real Male and ask the seller what his weighs, to compare.
Here’s some reference pictures:
Fake mother:
Bottom of fake mother (The bottom was completely green when I got it. I tore off part of the felt):
Fake mother and real mother:
Real mother’s felt pad:
Bottom of real old green male dragon:

I feel that way. Tried getting to sleep for about 2hrs and have finally given up. I figure I’ll just wear myself out.
Whoa, that fake mother is a lot closer to the original than I thought it would be. >.>; I think he’s a fake now too. o.o Who the heck was making those?

I was just thinking that, only the fake one’s just a touch larger I think…. and the colors are duller. And, of course, the eyes are blue… 😆 Also the shoulder accents are wrong on the fake one, from what I can tell from the pic. Seeing it on ebay, I wouldn’t necessarily know, though.
The seller sent me pics, though none from the bottom of the piece. It looks VERY much like the fake mother posted above. To top it off, it also looks like it’s cracked in a few places. Should I send the pics to someone?
the knee and the wings look all jacked up and his face looks like it has been pushed back and squashed.
