I haven’t had this issue on Windstones, but have had it on some other sculps. They looked fine when new, but turned yellow over time and with increased light exposure due to a yellowing of the sealant/finishing coat, not the paint itself (in a non-smoking house). Has this ever been a problem?No, we have never seen this. If anything goes wrong with something, we get the stores to return the piece so that we can see what happened. We’ve never seen yellowing, but who knows what has happened to these unicorns? There are things we haven’t done to them that might change the surface, such as intense weird wavelenght light from a tanning lamp, or black light maybe? Spray wax finishes somebody dusted them with? Who knows.Heat and fire are the only things we have seen that really will yellow the paint. But it turns it golden, more on one side, and is sort of pretty- on the pearl paint, anyway.
Are your unicorns evenly yellow?… or just on one side? Perhaps we just used a slightly creamier colored paint on yours.We do mix the unicorn paint ourselves, it is possible that one batch was the wrong color. (I’ve heard that we sometimes paint things the wrong color.)

My mind just screamed jade at that. 😆

While hiding somewhere in my head I'm on the lookout for white oriental dragons! Please let me know if you know of any available. Thank you!

😆 You know they are creamy on all sides so I really doubt it was sun. Probably just a different batch of paint. I don’t think it came from a smoker. They aren’t that yellow. I just realised that I’ve had my barebutt candlelamp in my very sunny livingroom for years and it’s still as white as it was when I got it. 😳 Thanks everyone for your help.
