2018 Celebration Model Brass Hat - Confirmed!

Greetings, readers! I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. I don't have the biggest news to report today, but thought I'd post it.

It's been a couple of weeks since the news of Brass Hat being the 2018 Breyerfest Celebration Horse escaped into the wild, but the image used to promote it was on a card purportedly being handed out by Breyer at the Royal Horse Show. Well, the same cards got slipped into the shipping boxes for St. Moritz! Behold!

So, there it is! Official confirmation that doesn't involve blurry cell phone photos of the card. The Brass Hat model looks appropriately brassy in the photo - maybe he'll be metallic? Theoretically we'll get better pictures in January when tickets go on sale, so that's not too long of a wait. Have we ever found out the Celebration Model this early before? It feels like a record.

And here's the other side of the card, just for kicks.

I can't wait for next year's Breyerfest! Only 33 weeks left to go!
