Featured Model - 8/5/2017, Mini Falhofnir

Hello, readers, and welcome to another edition of Featured Model, the weekly blog event where I pick a model from my collection, give some stats on it and provide commentary about it. This week's model is...Mini Falhofnir!

 

This handsome little guy was issued in 2014 for the first year a free Stablemate was given to members of the Premier Club. He's on the G4 Icelandic Horse/Indigo mold sculpted by Jane Lunger, so around 750 of these were produced. This was the first time the mold was used after it made its debut at Breyerfest 2013. It seemed fitting to use something on this mold this week since we just found out about Fylkir, the latest Stablemate Club release!

This model makes a nice contrast to the Traditional Icelandic by Kathleen Moody - his hair is a lot more understated compared to Kathleen's wild and crazy, '80s hair metal look. He's attractive, but he's more reserved about it. I like him a lot and I was really excited to see he's being used for the Stablemate Club's gambler's choice!

The only other thing he's been used for since his debut is in one of the current Mystery Foal Surprise sets. I think we're due to get more new single-assortment Stablemates and Stablemate sets next year, so hopefully he shows up somewhere. I wouldn't say no to a new shadowbox set with him in it, either! One can only hope.
