Me too! Tracking says it´s already in Germany. If I´m extremely lucky I will get it delivered tomorrow.
I hope you were lucky! I was and my Poad arrived today =)
Mine is a leafy green with yellows and blues. He reminded me instantly of the leafy fantasy uni I once received with the frosty blue nose, because this guy has frosty blue cheeks! I think he’s super cute!
I might possibly trade or sell him though, not because I don’t like him, but because of how he fits in my existing collection. I’m happy to keep him otherwise, super cute!!
Been a bit scarce lately, but while I’m posting photos…
My little poad from the gb batch. She fits right in! A very warm brown with metallic golden undertones.
Awww, very nice!
Still waiting on mine, the suspense! ;_;
My Poad arrived today! She is a very beautiful “Black Rainbow Lichen”. 🙂 She was able to go out in the yard for pictures between the thunderstorms. Hannah, you may use my photos.
Beautiful! The lichens are so nice.
What a great photo!
Here’s my new cutie. I will be keeping this one unless there’s something just too good to pass up. Even then, it would be difficult. (My photos can be used for the directory)

Wow!! This one is awesome! Congratulations!
Here’s some pictures of mine. I’m amused by her bright red butt. I’m pretty pleased with her, but not opposed to trades. Hannah, you are welcome to use my pictures.
Got my poad today!!
She is a gorgeous lichen with iridescent purple background and blue-ish turquoise inbetween the laces of the lichen. Also some gold berries!
My two favourites so far! So nice!
Wow Jinya! You are super lucky! Congrats! He looks stunning!!
All of these are very nice though, many I overlooked.
There’s one thing that I wanted to put out there about Grab Bags. Only Windstone would know of course, but I’ve always assumed they attract new collectors. They did for me! I’m an international collector, none sells them here, I’d never heard of them before but I found them on deviant art and the one thing that interested me the most, was grab bags! ‘How cool is that!’. I saw the first batch on Candycorns come out and honestly $90 (which I think was their price at the time) looked steep to me. I was a little surprised, but I was a newbie too.
They sold out before I decided for or against them, I think that was a record time XD.
Next lot of Grab Bag Poads at $115 (I believe they were), I still thought it was a lot of money, but the concept seemed so fun I caved in and bought one. Loved it and have bought so many more Poads and Windstones since then I ever thought I would, and at prices (for ebay items) that I never thought I would spend.Please note when I say these things appeared very expensive to me, it’s not as if I’m saying Melody’s work isn’t worth it, I had to keep my spending and saving in perspective though.
I get worried that the higher the prices go, the less new collectors will appear. If I noticed them at this point, I’m not sure if I would take the plunge and start buying. And yet, I don’t have a solution to what I just addressed. The demand is so high prices have to go up. Maybe production painters could even do more affordable and simpler grab bags that people with less expendable cash could enjoy? I know people value them much more when they’re painted by Melody, but the concept still seems fun and enticing =)
I have no idea what they’re worth or if they’ll sell, if they’re around those prices I’m out lol XD
It’s not that I can’t afford them, I just can’t justify spending $300 on a uni that I’m not sure how much I’ll like the colour. I would spend that money on a test-paint on Ebay.I understand both sides of the argument though, the value of Grab bags these days seems to be a very tricky business =)
After much suspense, my uni arrives!
I actually had this one circled on my original ‘wish-list’, needless to say, I love him! Thanks Melody!
And I must ask, what is on the head of the fuzzy? *laughs* it looks like some beady headwear? a fuzzy crown?
It’s a Spring Fuzzy! They have little flowers in their hair.
Thanks! Now I can see it. That’s so cute!
Susie called them “Easter Parade fuzzies”.
I find the imagery of a full Easter Parade of fuzzies so adorable 😮
