#windstone

The set was 200 dollars so they did not come home with me sadly.

Another modified PYO Windstone sculpture! This particular creature seems to have been touched by some sort of wild magic. Health-wise, it seems fine, but its behavior has been growing increasingly erratic as of late...

This sculpt was so damn fun to paint and I have lots more fruit themed ideas for this sculpt. I have decided this one is going to stay within my personal collection for now.

my latest Windstone baby. I didn't mean for him to look like a character I designed in high school, but he does lmao

It’s Toy Time Tuesday! (Sort of) With...Windstone Editions Sitting Unicorn! To prevent ‘oops all Breyers’, here’s a not-a-toy but it is a fantasy item for a Tuesday so we’ll have a look anyway. This is actually a statue or a sculpture. It is made by Windstone Editions, a company that casts things in a really heavy hard material. This probably weighs 6+ pounds despite being smaller than a Breyer horse. This is their “Sitting Up” unicorn, who is a part of a set of variously sized and posed unicorns. The set includes baby unicorn laying down, mother unicorn laying down, dog-sitting pose, this one, and rearing up horse pose. They were all sculpted by the same person so they all have the same style. These are based on the ‘medieval tapestry’ type of unicorn, so you can see the cloven hooves, lion-type tail and goat beard going on, plus it has to be white and have some kind of a necklace. This does check off the medieval boxes, but also keeps it enough ‘horse’ to be pretty. The necklace has real zirconia in it and the horn is real metal! Use the Tumblr zoom to inspect the texture going on all over, all of the hairs are textured in. They’ve even got the whorls at the top/backs of the thighs that you will find on a horse.  The pose is a little odd though? It seems like a bit of a doggy pose? Can horses even do this pose at all? (They CAN sit down although they rarely do/maybe it hurts their bum I don’t know) He’s a cheerful looking lad, but I don’t know the reason for sitting like this. The expression is pleasant, and the eyes are actual inset glass bead things, so he is lively looking. The issue with these is that they are rather expensive. Produced at some point near the 80s, they’re older now as well. I wouldn’t have this at all, but was amazingly able to thrift it up for 40 dollars much to a big surprise. This makes 2 from the set. I would own them all, but you can tell the giant rearing one is going to be a doozy to get a hold of.  I would certainly recommend it for the unicorn collector because of the detail, style, and quality. If you can get a hold of it at a reasonable rate, go for it.
