        Oh and after looking at these, I think they are rip offs, not repaints. Making a mold to cast these is not terribly hard and would explain the convex painted eyes (most folks that would rip these off would cast the whole Windstone without trying to remove the eyes)… But this is one reason why Windstone discourages repaints- not to stifle creativity but to help avoid legal headaches. If it’s this hard for us collectors to tell the difference, that could be a problem!

                Well, the Wizard we have has a name scratched into it thet you can’t really read where the Pena logo SHOULD be. (I think anyway, I don’t have any wizards actually)I just wondered if this is the same company or not since we used to do business with them at one time. I wonder if they ripped off several different ones or if it was a fluke? I guess since the company had been out of business for over 10 years it wouldn’t really matter, but I still want to check it out.

                  Here are some pics of it Nam, do you think it would help John and everyone if I sent it to them?? Believe me, I don’t want it for anything, but I feel bad throwing it away…he’s kind of scary looking…

                    I’m not sure if it’d be helpful or not since they no longer exist- you can always email and explain the situation to John (that you used to work with the company and didn’t know better, but they’re out of business now). 🙂

                      Looks like someone bought the others.

                        So they did. It was the right kind of person that bought them. 😉

                        Hideous griffin candle lamp rip-off, isn’t it? I don’t think it could be a repaint, it has no eyes.

                          I think it’s a ripoff… eek. Can’t tell. If it’s a repaint then someone popped the eyes out. Again, this is the problem repaints pose. 🙁
                          I’ll email it to John.

                          Oh, that’s awful. Even if it’s a repaint.

                          #566673

                          The eyes (or lack there of) make it look really creepy. 😕

                          The shininess makes it look so fake – like it’s out of shiny plastic, almost!
