This pretty lady was the final release of the 2016 Premier Club, with approximately 750 produced. She's item #90181 and was sculpted by Brigitte Eberl.
Yasmin first appeared as a cryptic hint on Breyer's website back in October 2016 - some of the speculation back then jokingly suggested that the hint looked like some kind of bovine breed. Fortunately, the model did turn out to be a horse - otherwise I'm sure we'd have had riots among Premier Club members.
I haven't measured her to be exact, but I'm pretty sure Yasmin is among the longest models I've ever encountered - she's huge! It's very difficult to get her to fit into my photo tent and still take a photo of her. I'm dreading when Zena eventually joins my herd - that horn looks like it'll add at least an inch to her length, and it's hard enough to photograph her as it is!
Oh well. That's a problem for the future - Zena hasn't even been in stock anywhere yet. The dreaded shipping delay from China strikes again. Despite being such a new mold and appearing in the Breyerfest lineup last year, I think Yasmin may be a strong candidate for this year's Breyerfest surprise model.
Or maybe she'll show up as a web special? I'm so excited about the continuation of America the Beautiful - so many more possibilities! And there are a lot of molds out there that have never appeared as web specials before. Yasmin-as-web-special would be a welcome addition to my herd! Just, you know, maybe in a couple of months or after Breyerfest, to facilitate my attempts to cut back on spending.
