St Moritz: Silver Filigree Replacement?

So I wonder if there won't be a silver filigree special run this year? If this is the replacement, I think he's pretty spectacular!



Say hello to St. Moritz! From the website:

The magnificence of winter is on full display with St. Moritz!  Sledding, ice skating, and riding in fresh snow are wonderful ways to enjoy the season!  Breyer's St. Moritz is a spirited equine that looks like an ice sculpture and is decorated with frosty blues and warming pinks.  Clear snowflakes and windy swirls adorn his sides for an elegant wintry motif.  Limited to just 380 pieces, St. Moritz will be gone before the snow melts, so act fast!  He is marked St. Moritz 2017 on his belly, and comes in a Breyer mail order box.

I love him, though the cynical part of me wonders if he was made from leftover clearware from last year's decorator Samba Surprise. But never mind that! I love his color scheme - there's a level in Super Mario 3D World that has that exact color scheme - ice, blue, purple/pink - and I just love those colors together! And since there's 380 of him (kind of an odd number, but whatever), I've got a good chance of getting my hands on him! 

I won't be upset if there isn't a silver filigree model this year - I think Breyer was starting to get a little predictable, to be honest. And it's not like they've done one every year in the past - sometimes things need a little break. I think this is a worthy silver filigree replacement!
