AwwwโฆAll those poor sculpts just sitting there waiting for judgment day to come.
Iโd be happy to have one of them painted and left just the way they are! Sort of a special forum collector thing.*ALWAYS day dreaminโ *

Thank you for posting about the problem. Hope it gets solved soon. Itโs sad to see so many rejects.
August 18, 2009 at 3:01 pm #779705It is sad to see so many rejects.
Maybe some of them wouldnโt be so bad painted? The goof-ups always sell on eBay, as do the โslightly damagedโ and repaired sculpts, like the last sunset lap and the pizza poad thatโs up now. Itโs something to think about, anyway.
August 18, 2009 at 3:50 pm #779706Yup I agreeโฆI would love to get a chance to own one of the goof upsโฆand there are so many in that picture on the blog, I think they should be painted and either put on ebay or used as raffle piecesโฆ

August 18, 2009 at 4:24 pm #779707Me tooโIโm interested to see how much the big foot Poad goes for! Imagineโa OOAK in a weird way! Brightly painted big foot Poads
! Could make some of those prototypes and for test paintsโpossbilities are endless. Would be happy the day when you solve this casting nightmare but when life gives you lemonsโmake lemonade!
August 18, 2009 at 5:00 pm #779708Itโs sad to see all of those rejected castings, but honestly, I love just 5 minutes to go through those carts and nab as many of them as I could. Iโd love the chance to repair some of them and then paint them for myself. Oh, I can dreamโฆ
August 18, 2009 at 7:11 pm #779709I understand why they donโt make them available. For one thing, it reduces the value of some of the less expensive sculpts because people can just get a โreject.โ For another, it reduces the overall quality of the sculpts that get into collectorsโ hands. A company known for their fabulous pieces suddenly has a bunch of only ok pieces out there. Finally, it seems to me that Windstone has the finest customer service I have ever heard of. Ever. If a bunch of the rejects are allowed to be sent out, there might be more problems. Sculpts with flaws are likely more fragile due to bubbles throughout the casting, so may break or chip more readily. If the good people at Windstone had to spend a bunch of time taking care of such issues, there would be less time for more quality service (or more sculpts or colors, for that matter).
While itโs a great training tool in-house, itโs a matter of pride and practical considerations that theyโre not released to the public.
August 18, 2009 at 7:19 pm #779710Actually, I think all of us understand why 99% of those pieces wonโt ever leave the factory. Melody herself has explained Windstoneโs standards and reasoning previously. I think you just landed smack in the middle of a โwishes and dreamsโ session.
August 18, 2009 at 8:12 pm #779711โWishes and dreamsโ is right! Wish I could come over with a shopping cart and take a few of those Oriental Dragons!
August 18, 2009 at 8:55 pm #779712Yeah, I was only dreaming and joking. I already knew why they didโnt release rejected items.
August 19, 2009 at 1:55 am #779713Yes, we do enjoy dreaming, donโt we?
August 19, 2009 at 2:32 am #779714All the time, star.

Thanks for the heads up on it,Ms.Jennifer.I didnโt mean to terrify you! I just know that some people have had problems after storing them in heat/humidity for a while. One person had problems with their rainbow male in a climate controlled unit too, but I think that is the exception.
I know when it gets hot and humid here, my pieces get โtackyโ and โsweatโ a little from condensation.Here is a thread about it: http://www.windstoneeditions.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=8837
Thanks Jennifer.I just love my babies and am new at this.Never too much informationEvery act matters.No matter how small

Would half of us collect if we werenโt Dreamers deep down?
