      They were $100 at Crystal Fantasy. I think if Windstone ever did reissue they’d be $80.

        Well, if you count the gas, the wear on the vehicle, which, depending on the vehicle, can be up to $.83 a mile, the money they have to pay the worker to go to the PO… It takes me an hour whenever I go, depending on the line, so its not that bad. But Def could have been wrapped better. That is just ridiculous. 🙄

        Honestly I wouldn’t have minded paying the $15 for shipping if it was double boxed and insured, neither of which happened. I feel like I’ve been completely fleeced for $9, which doesn’t thrill me. Even if it is only $9. I could’ve used that for something.

            *snort* What handling? It was already in it’s original box, all they did was drop it off at the post office!

              Are you planning on contacting them on a refund for your other $9 you paid for shipping? I would.

              I sent them an email asking them why in the hell (in more polite terms, I promise) I was charged $15 for shipping when all they did was slap a sticker on the box and throw it in the mail. I also explained how it should have been done and what could have happened.

              We’ll see what they have to say for themselves.

                Beware if you decide to purchase a piece from Crystal Fantasy (the site with the overpriced production things…).

                I just purchased a ruby young oriental from them since it wasn’t too much over cost, and it arrived today…in it’s original box with a priority mail sticker on it for $6. I was charged $15 for shipping. No insurance, no double boxing, nothing.

                I’m quite relieved that it didn’t break, but now, even if I found a piece there that was what I was looking for and within what I might pay for it, I wouldn’t go back.

                So if for some reason you guys think you might want something from there, reconsider. Your piece may not get as lucky as the little guy I got today.

                  *takes the Mac away from you* I’ll bet it hates you too. Disrespecting the poor thing.

                    Ammy’s been sold, but if anyone else was interested in one like her, I’m open for commissions!

                      And to be fair, it was a junker griffin (pyo) that the cat had screwed up. 😉
                      I got soooo tired of PYO griffins 😥

                      That must have been ten kinds of satisfying.

                          Hmmm… what about try throwing a little bit (really little bit) underneath her wings? Like kinda where her armpit is? Or do you think that would ruin it… *runs off to find concept art*

                          This one is sealed and done, there’s not much I can do with her now, but if you want to commission one to your specs, I’m open. 😉

                            but dosen’t Amaterasu have some black in the markings? Looks kind of odd just red/white….

                            The black outlines were the style of art used in the game, which was the Japanese watercolor/woodblock type painting. I can’t give Ammy those outlines on a 3D sculpt. 😉 The tip of her tail is black and I put a little black around her ears, but they always said she was snowy white ingame, so that’s what I went on.

                              Seal your initial paint job first and antique over the top of that.

                                I’m not sure if I want to sell her, but if someone shot me a good enough offer, I might part with her.

                                  Her antiquing is a lot darker in person, the camera flash and overhead light bulb kinda washed it out.
