Nightcrow- Looks like the next will be a darling silver, thank you for the trade Etruscan! 🙂
Very cool! Congrats on expanding the conga. 🙂 Silver is such a nice color, too; I love the shading on the Silver pieces.

What a cute Baby conga, Gem! Which color will you add next? 🙂

I don’t think names really affect me one way or the other, but then, I don’t collect the grab bag where pieces had actual names, so I’m used to “names” that are just the name of the color plus the name of the sculpt (and a number if applicable) than to creative individual names. There’s not a lot of excitement or disaster in “Sunset Lap #8” or “GB 3-2018.” 🙂
I do find the “Lavender Rose” color name a little baffling – it’s a deep purple! Where does the rose come in? Or the lavender, for that matter? But it’s not something I think about much, unless I happen to be looking at the name.

The orange and white dragons make me think of the Tiger Tabby griffins from long ago…
Call ’em Tangerine Tiger? 🙂

Hey, Setsunawolf: There was a Sanguine Lap Dragon!
Rereading your post, I thought, “Wait… on second thought, that sounds familiar,” so I went looking.
Looks like it was made in June 2018. I guess now you have another piece for your wishlist! 🙂 Sanguine would look really good next to Red Fire, I bet… Hope you can add it to your conga one day!

I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned this in a past Squeaks thread, but for a long time I’ve wished we could have Mouse Princes to go with the Frog Princes!
I would love to have a little conga of Mouse Princes in their formal ballroom best with gleaming, bejeweled dress swords! I’d have to collect one in every color. <3 They’d make a great Christmas 2021 release; very Nutcracker-esque!
Mouse Princesses to match them optional; I probably wouldn’t be interested, but I bet lots of young collectors and mouse fans would be. 🙂
Edit: Come to think of it, I’d be excited to see some new Frog Prince releases, too – Poison Dart (especially blue!), or fantasy/colorshift, or spring green would all be must-haves for me!

Wow, I love that odd green Mother! Melody, how about doing something similar for the next green LP/Production color???? Metallic gold or tan eyes, a different gem, and little gold dots along with the blue and green, should surely be enough to make it different enough from the ‘inspiration’ dragon…

This little guy/gal is exactly how I always pictured the fire lizards in the Pern novels. It looks amazing!
Is there any place that sells faceted eyes? If so, he would make a perfect firelizard!

Oooh, Setsunawolf, you should post a photo of your Lap conga! You have several colors I don’t; I’d love to see them all together!
The “of course” after Peacock in your comment made me laugh; it does seem to be an “of course” option! Yet my Peacock Lap was actually one of the later additions to my conga. 😛 I found a damaged one for a good price, and did ‘surgery’ to restore her broken face; I’m pretty proud of how she came out!
I hope you can find the Sanguine Orientals someday. I’m still hoping for a Peacock Moon Ori and Peacock Sitting Ori to complete my own Oriental family…
My biggest dream as far as Laps go (aside from the development of a “Sapphire” color to match Ruby/Emerald/Tanzanite) is for a test paint in a nice spring green. A few years ago there were some test paints in a color called ‘Spring Bud’ or ‘Spring Leaf’ that were just perfect, but sadly no Lap was ever produced in it. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that one day it’ll happen! (Melody, if you’re reading this, it would make a GREAT color for a Store release come next spring… *sad Bambi eyes*)

you
Thank you, Megan!
There are several Production colors I don’t have: Red Fire, Amethyst, Rainbow, Pastel Rainbow, Black Gold, Prismatic Spring, and Black Em-Pea are the ones I can think of offhand. I tend to prefer shades of a single color, so I skip over ones like Amethyst and Red Fire that are too two-toned for my taste.
And, of course, I also don’t have any in the production colors that never made it to the Lap for whatever reason, like Lavender Pearl, Pink Pearl, Aquamarine, Old Green (I think) and Elven. Some of these I hope will one day appear on Lap Dragons!
A few of the colors I don’t collect on Laps I have on the OW instead. I’ve got an OW in Prismatic Spring, for instance, and if I ever find a Rainbow for a good price that isn’t the red-nosed version, I’d be tempted. 🙂

I’m still hoping for some restocking to happen in the Blue Morpho category… I long for a female Griffin, and am toying with the idea of getting a Scratcher or a Male in Morpho, too.
And if not Blue Morpho, maybe we’ll finally get Color Shift Fennecs? 🙂 Or Silver Rainbow Sparkle Cougars?

As someone who had a long hiatus in buying and following Windstone, I get confused by the different appearances of various “Peacock” dragons. Am I right that there is an “old” Peacock, which was more blue and purple, and a “new” Peacock, that had more green and other colors? The Peacock mentioned that is being offered for $500 appears almost brown or coppery in place and doesn’t seem to have much blue or purple. Other Peacock mother dragons on eBay have much more visible blue and purple. Or is it just a problem with the photos?
I have noticed a distinct difference over time, though it varies from piece to piece. The color I think of as “Old Peacock” is generally heavy on the purple, especially the ‘dusty grape’ purple, and has some touches of a champagne-gold color as well. The color I think of as “Newer Peacock” is more equally split between purple-blue-green, and (at least on the Orientals) these colors are laid down in ‘stripes’ or ‘layers’ instead of patches.
I’ll try to get a photo of my Peacock Lap next to my Peacock Oriental for contrast. Even though the Lap is a newer sculpt, some of them seem to have a more old-style Peacock color while others are much ‘newer’ in appearance! I don’t have any truly old Peacock pieces to use as a comparison, unfortunately.

I took some closer photos, too, since the Forum shrinks any picture wide enough to include all of them.
