Portraits are solid esp. considering they are 1/10 scale.

Those look very well done. But I'm intrigued by that dragon on the right, what is that?

The dragon is a sculpt by Windstone Editions. They've been making fantasy statues since the mid '80s, and I first started collecting a few of them back in high school. I recently got back into the, and my collection kind of exploded over the last 6 months. Here's a better picture of this particular one with another in the same color family. They vary in size from very small (3.5" tall) all the way up to the largest one (17" tall) which is the big one pictured here, and they come in a ton of different color schemes. They're all handcrafted in the US, hand painted by artists at the company and they all have glass eyes.

The wings on Swiftwind are phenomenal.

Super tempted.

Think we'd get Hordak on Mantisaur?

Thanks for the pictures. If the Joe line comes out like this, I'm in trouble.

Thanks so much, Northern
It looks like they really just reused the portrait template from the Kowl piece. Ok ok - now I May start the hunt. Gotta look at where I would put her though given Swifty?s wingspan and angles.

Also, the dragons are so cool. The website is full of awesome stuff. I with their Cougars didn?t have they heads pushed so far back bc I love a good, dramatic looking cat.

Yeah, that's what I think too. Same portrait, just slightly different paint. The hair color is also just a smidge different, with the Swiftwind portrait being a touch darker.

I have kind of gone crazy on my Windstone collection over the past 5 months

I have some of the Unicorns, Griffins, Ki-Rin and a TON of dragons in all sizes and colors.
