Melody!!!!! *waves hands in air* ANOTHER WIZARD QUESTION!!!! 😀

You probably hate me asking these “tidbit” questions – if so, just say so, and I’ll cease and desist. But until then……

Is there a particular reason why the Large Wizards have a faceted glass crystal instead of a smooth one like nearly every other wizard/creature that has them???

I was wondering if it was for practical reasons or just a design preference.
The original wizards had faceted crystals because they were in fasion at the time, and easy to get! We didn’t yet have a source for the nice round ones. I would rather of used round ones.

Yes Nirvana,

I’ve been begging, just BEGGING for that griffin for months. For you it would just be another piece to add to your massive collection- for me it is something so utterly wonderful and special, kind of like a holy grail, and would be the pride of my collection. Beyond words I would REALLY like to get him! Do I have to point out that Nambroth gets better with each griffin she paints? (I was tempted to keep that one, actually)

With the retirement of the Peacock color, comes the side effect that the Spectral Dragon (sitting) is no longer available at all… With that in mind, is there any chance that he will be offered in another color any time soon?

Oh, right… Hmmm, I guess we will have to paint him in something. I’m glad we have you guys watching out for us.

With that said, I thought I would compile a list of all the sculpts that are now no longer in current production:

Hatching Empress
Spectral
Rising Spectral
Hatching Emperor
Male coiled dragon
Mother coiled dragon with egg
and of course, the Old Warrior

Just as a friendly helpful reminder 😆

I also think all of these would be breathtaking in gold! Especially the rising spectral and hatching emperor/empress Thanks! No kidding , I don’t keep track.

This is a completely unimportant question, but I was just wondering…
The emperors painted in the old colors had different color schemes than the rest of the family painted in the same color – for instance, the old brown emperor had what looks like an irridecent red sheen on his scales that the male, mother and young dragons in brown lacked. The green emp had irridecent teal and purple that the other dragons didn’t have. I always thought that was cool, and really set the emperor dragon up as being the boss, the alpha, the head honcho that’s got the most girls and treasure because he’s the biggest and the prettiest. A lot of dominant animals in nature do develop brighter colors like that.
But I’ve noticed that none of the other color schemes seem to give the emperor that distinction of being the most magnificent.

…How come? (just curious)
You mean like a silverback alpha-male gorilla?
The truth is … I have no idea why the brown and green Emperors got painted with irridescent coloring on them. I guess somebody decided to do then that way.I think we were in Oregon at the time. They look good, I think, but if I had been here I would of not of thought to do that.

We would love to sell to art and craft stores, but these pyos aren’t yet packaged in a way that they would sell well in stores … They need a fancy clear plastic covered box to keep them clean, and some instruction type thing about how to paint them. Then, do we include paint? That gets complicated fast. But if we had the kind of store that catered to folks that knew how to deal with the paint themselves, like craft and model shops, that would be swell.

I would like to take a few of mine, both painted and not painted, to our shop in Heidelberg and show them. I think, if they buy some, they can set examples of each sculpt on the shelf and then keep the rest boxed in the back. They have paint and brushes there, so I would think the paper you have in there should be sufficient. It guides you to the tutorial. Its just an idea, but I wouldnt want to tell them about the PYOs and have it end up that they cant get them from you. Let me run this idea past John first, before you suggest this to the store. Depending on shipping and other charges, it may be too expensive to get them there. You notice we don’t have many dealers in Germany.

Miss Melody, your home page says the PYOs are available direct from the factory. What if we can find arts and craft stores that would want to carry them? Would you do that?

I hate to be a pest. I know you have a lot to do. But I was wondering if there are going to be more of the russet curl dragons? I missed them completly while I was at work. I got home just in time to see the PYO wolves. I hope that if you do more that they will be up when I have a day off. I would really like one but, no rush. I just wanted to know if you’ll be painting any more of them.

Yes, we will do more of the russet ones. The next batch of curls are in Emerald Peacock though. Those will be on this week, maybe, if we get time to put ’em on ebay.

Melody,
I just love the Autumn Leaf colors on the OW on your ebay gallery page. Are you going to make anything else in that color? Maybe as regular production? **crosses fingers and mutters to self “say yes, say yes, say yes”**

Uh, no, not regular production, I don’t think. TOO HARD TO DO. But I do want to do them somehow…or, maybe we can find ways to simplify the paint.. Now, it takes someting like six coats of different paints, layered on top of each other just right, to get the effect I want.

Are you going to be waiting to post any new listings on ebay until the new year?

I really want a large PYO dragon adn dont want to miss them if they go up over christmas. Same goes for the griffin families.No pyo dragons are ready, so that isn’t a problem.. The fem griffs may be in Jan. I’ll wait till the New Year weekend is over, at least. Not much chance I will get anything done before then anyway.
Did I answer this already? Oh well,this is a slightly different answer.
