Featured Model - 3/30/2019, Blue Velvet

Hello 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...Blue Velvet!



This pretty girl was a Connoisseur release in 2008. She's item #90144 and was a run of 350 on the Bluegrass Bandit mold sculpted by Kathleen Moody and Sommer Prosser.

This is one of the best colors Breyer has released on this mold, in my opinion. It works really well on her! She's very similar to Polaris - just with spots, obviously. They make a nice pair! My only nitpick is that she's basecoated white, and well...I'm just not the biggest fan of white basecoats. I think it makes the horse look less realistic and more like a cartoon, especially on a mold like BGB - she's cartoonish enough! Plus, it makes the horses' white areas look too white - no horse is that stark white in real life (except for the five minutes after they've been scrubbed within an inch of their lives for a horse show!).

I know it might seem weird to complain about the white basecoat not looking realistic when Breyer loves to use metallic and pearly paints in other paintjobs - indeed, Blue Velvet has a touch of pearliness to her, which I like. The white basecoat really isn't that big of a deal either way - I'd just prefer my models not to be basecoated. Maybe that's why I was somewhat ambivalent about Emerson last year? Hopefully Breyer comes out with a new release on him soon so I can see what he looks like in other colors.

Anyway, Bluegrass Bandit is a fairly popular mold for Breyer, but she hasn't had a lot of releases - probably because it's hard to release her in anything other than TWH colors due to her pose. Not counting auction models, she's had 15 releases since her 2008 debut, and three of those were highly limited! Mold utility is definitely a thing for Breyer - it's the most likely reason it took so long for us to get a Marwari model, and why we still don't have an Akhal-Teke (maybe we'll get one in the Premier Club this year?). BGB has been a web special twice already, so I'm not optimistic about her chances there this year - but she was last used at Breyerfest in 2017, so she's not likely to show up there either. Maybe she'll be one of this year's limited edition models? I hope so!

The next entry in the America the Beautiful series - Bandelier!

Exciting news today (since Breyer didn't see fit to reveal yesterday's teaser...)! We have a new entry in the America the Beautiful series - Bandelier!



El Pastor makes a comeback! From the website:

In a palette of colors inspired by this national monument’s landscape, Bandelier is a shaded dapple buckskin tobiano pinto. A Paso Fino, his breed’s roots trace back to the mounts of the Spanish conquistadors who once explored this area. He has detailed eyes and a high gloss finish, and features “Bandelier” printed in black on his belly.
I've noticed a lot of typos and incorrect grammar in Breyer's posts lately, so it's nice to see them using "palette" correctly. Anyway...he's definitely handsome! Nothing I need to enter for, but that gloss really makes him pop! I like his mane stripe, too. Unfortunately, I noticed something when I looked at the photo of him in the email from Breyer:



The dreaded pink eyewhites make a return! I thought Breyer had abandoned those. Hopefully that's not a deal-breaker for people who want to buy him.

In other news, it looks like this year's releases are going to be really light on my wallet, between the lack of Breyerfest or Vintage Club things I want, and now this web special. But I'm not going to complain - spending less money on the hobby right now is probably for the best! Good luck to everyone who enters for Bandelier.

Bwuh?

So there's another (!) new sneak peek on the blog, and...it appears to be multiple models?






I have no idea what these are referring to. Internet opinions range from a foal set, to maybe the Stablemate Valegro, or an Ant-Man and the Wasp reference (one big model, one or possibly two small ones?), and I haven't seen any guesses as to what the glossy black one is. At least we only have to wait until tomorrow?

Diorama contest prize has been revealed!

Sheesh, I'm behind on posting...well, anyway, Breyer put a new sneak peek on the blog on Monday, and the reveal was today - the diorama contest prize is on the Haflinger! Say hello to Cavalcade!



His color looks really similar to Muir Woods! I wonder if there's a connection there.

This isn't the first time the Haflinger has been a prize at Breyerfest - he was the Scepter Contest prize model in 2005 and one of the glossy prizes at the Children/Youth show in 2012. I'm guessing he gets used so Breyer doesn't get flooded with entries - can you imagine how many people would enter the diorama contest if the prize model was a Wintersong? Even I'd have to come up with something! They'd be judging the entries until the park opened on Saturday morning!

He is nice, though, so good luck to everyone who enters the diorama contest!

Leopold is now available!

Attention Vintage Club members! The second release of 2019, Leopold, is now available for purchase!



Make sure you're logged into your account so you can see the buy box.

Like I said before, the Appaloosa Performance Horse colorway looks great on the Fighting Stallion, but he's nothing I need to buy. Now, if they'd find some modern molds to put it on...Bristol, anyone? Or Dundee? Mmm.

Featured Model - 3/23/2019, Mini Appropos

Hello 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 Appropos!



This model was part of the Miniature Connoisseur Collection, offered through JAH in 2006. He's item #701706 and was a run of 3,000 on the (Stablemate) G2 Warmblood mold sculpted by Kathleen Moody.

The amount of detail on the models in this set was pretty incredible - the tiny eyewhites! The white areas on his legs! The tiny halo spots! Well, they may be vaguely haloed - it's hard to tell. And the models in this set were all like that!

For whatever reason, though, the set wasn't a big seller - it was first released in 2006, but I remember buying my set through Breyer's Shopatron website (before the 2011 website revamp) in 2010 after my return to the hobby. Why did they sell so poorly? Stablemate sets tend to be popular, and Stablemate versions of Traditional models get requested all the time, so it's a bit of a mystery. I suppose they probably just made too many sets, similar to what happened with the Double Exposure set - made too many and they were available for quite some time afterward.

Oh well! I like my set well enough - if only all the Stablemates had as much detail as these guys do. As for the G2 Warmblood, he's been fairly popular over the years - he's had innumerable releases, but he most recently appeared at Breyerfest 2017 as Vivaan, one of the single-day Stablemate models. Where will we see him next? He's being used in several places in the regular run line currently, so I don't know if we'll see him get any kind of special run release soon - but maybe he'll show up at the next Breyer event - who knows. At any rate, I'll be looking out for new releases on him - he's one of my favorite Stablemate molds!

Natasha it is!

Wednesday's sneak peek has been revealed - it's Natasha after all!



Ooh, she's pretty! The first (and so far, only) item I need from the special run line! Part of me hopes she won't be the matte/glossy split - for simplicity's sake - and the other part of me hopes she is, because she'd be beautiful in gloss. I guess we'll have to wait and see! Hopefully the vendor sheet leaks again this year so we can find out in advance!

Hal is official!

Greetings, readers! You may remember that I posted about a chestnut Store Special on the Dundee mold a week or so ago. Well, he's now been announced on the blog - check him out!



From the blog:

A 1997 Quarter Horse, Hal came to owner and trainer Jonathan Field at age 3 with aggression issues. The pair spent time learning to trust and communicate with each other and an amazing partnership between the two began. For many years, Hal accompanied Jonathan and performed at expos and events. Now semi-retired, he’s enjoying life on Jonathan’s ranch in Canada.

Nice story and all, but I can't help but wonder if he was also chosen because his name could be a reference to Hal Jordan, also known as the Green Lantern? One can only wonder. In any case, this guy definitely needs to join my collection - I'm excited that they finally came out with something I want. Between him and what's almost certainly a Weather Girl they're teasing for tomorrow, things are looking up!

Wednesday, March 20, 2019

Another teaser on the blog, plus Vintage Club reveals!

Exciting news today - there's another sneak peek on the blog! Check it out!



Looks like a Weather Girl front leg to me - it's about time they post something I want to buy! From the blog:

Our next Special Run model is sure to weave its way into your hearts!

So I'm guessing it's a Black Widow reference and the model's name will be Natasha? I guess we'll have to wait until the official reveal - probably on Friday. The color looks like some kind of buckskin? I guess with the spider reference they could be going with a garden spider's colors (sort of), but I'd expect something named for Black Widow to be, well, black...(or red, or red and black, but they've already done a bay model with Diana). I guess we'll find out when we find out.

In other exciting news, Vintage Club welcome letters are also going out to club members, and Breyer decided to tell us what this year's releases after all! It just took them longer than usual, and there aren't any photos of them yet...But still.

So, the remaining releases for this year are a gambler's choice Shire Mare in four colors and...the Thoroughbred Mare and Nursing Foal!!! In..."soft dappled buckskin tobiano." Boo, I was hoping for glossy alabaster...though I'll probably have to buy them either way. I wonder if they'd make a nice family with Bristol? I guess we'll find out! And this year's Stablemate freebie is a mare and foal set - no word on which molds.

Also, this year's optional model Claude (the charcoal Shannondell) will be released in November. Usually it comes out earlier than that, but Breyer's not that stupid - tons of people would buy him and then bail on the rest of the releases.  They'll probably end up with a mountain of unsold Thoroughbred Mare/Nursing Foal sets as it is, so I can't really blame them for that. I'm excited to see photos of the rest of the releases!

Premier Club welcome letters are going out!

Exciting news today - the welcome letters and sketches for this year's Premier Club are arriving in the mail!



Cute sketch! I'm still not 100% sold on the foal, but I'm pretty sure the mare will stay with me. And check out the cute sticker that came with the letter!



I think Rhian and Bouncer will make a nice pair - if they're comparable in size, I could see them being used in a performance setup as a matched pair - or, on the OF side of things, maybe we'll get a family set with Bouncer, Rhian and Cadell together. It's been a while since we've seen a family set, though, so one can only hope.

As for the letter itself, I don't remember if we already knew the information in it - namely, that Jennifer Scott and Brigitte Eberl are our other two sculptors for this year, and Jennifer Scott is designing the paint job for her sculpt, while Sommer Prosser is doing the paint job on the Eberl. This year's free Stablemate is a new sculpt by Laura Skillern Sailer. Apparently the Jennifer Scott piece is "a breed and pose frequently requested" - I'm wondering if it's something rearing? We haven't had a new rearing sculpt in the last 50 years or so, so we're definitely overdue.

Rhian and Cadell won't ship until May, so we still have a couple of months to wait. Hopefully we get a lot of fun Breyerfest reveals in the meantime!

Second Vintage Club release of 2019 - Leopold!

All right, I know this is old news by now, but I had to post about it. Breyer revealed the second Vintage Club release of the year last week - Leopold, on the Fighting Stallion!



He definitely looks good in the Appaloosa Performance Horse colorway! This is the third time we've seen this color in the Vintage Club, after Eagle and Halo. It's a nice color, so I'm not really bothered by that, but this is the second time we've seen the Fighting Stallion - he first appeared as King in the first year of the club. While I admit his first appearance was kind of a waste (plain buckskin? Yawn!), it seems odd that we're seeing molds get repeated when there are still plenty of vintage molds that haven't been used yet - like the Western Horse, or the Race Horse, or many others.

Fortunately, we haven't seen the rest of the club releases yet, so the Western Horse could still appear. And I'll admit my opinion doesn't really mean much, since I don't collect vintage molds and didn't join the club this year. Hopefully the Western Horse gets some love later this year!

Featured Model - 3/16/2019, Heroes of the West Harper

Hello 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...the Harper from the Heroes of the West set!



IDYB has this model listed as a grulla, but she looks gray to me, so that's what I'm going to call her. The Heroes of the West set debuted in 2017 and is still being produced in the regular run line. It's item #61098 and this model was issued on the Harper mold sculpted by Sommer Prosser.

Interestingly enough, both adult horses in this set are mares, and the light gray is on the Amelia mold, which was the first mold used for the Classics Horse of the Year series back in 2014. The foal, on the other hand, is a mostly-black Hansel, which was a tad frustrating since he's appeared in black two other times. The Harper herself is quite attractive - she looks good in gray! (Or grulla, or whatever color she's supposed to be.) I wasn't that big of a fan of hers at first, but she grew on me pretty quickly.

Harper's been a relatively popular mold since her debut in 2016 - popular with Breyer, at least. She's gotten no shortage of use, including being used as 2017's Halloween Classic model, a Tractor Supply special run, multiple regular run releases and even a unicorn! I don't know where she'll turn up next, but maybe she'll get some kind of website special run this year.

Waban? More like Wa-BAM!

Suddenly there's a new animal micro run on the Breyer website! Interestingly, he's a charcoal buffalo.


What a surprise! The micro runs seemed to be on a bit of a hiatus, so it's refreshing to see a new one. And a charcoal buffalo? Definitely an interesting choice. From the email:

This fun micro run was conceived around the time of silver filigree Banff, and is a retro Breyer charcoal. Limited to just 50 pieces and produced in Wayne, NJ. Enter for your chance to purchase this very limited edition!

Nice to see he's a product of NJ, too. He's nothing I need to enter for, but good luck to everyone who does!

Also, just as an FYI, my posts may be delayed for a while because...I had another baby yesterday! Things are going to be crazy around here for a while but hopefully posting here won't be interrupted too much.

No Hal, but..Rico!

Wow, the reveals are coming fast and furious this week! At least, fast and furious for Breyer... Yesterday we had the Hal store special reveal, and today we have another store special - Rico!



From the blog:

A striking grey Arabian/Andalusian stallion, he’s best known for performing many of the rearing elements seen in the Grand Liberté. Born in 1999, his path connected with Sylvia’s when he was only three. She’d been warned that he was very strong minded and tended to rear, but for Sylvia it was love at first sight. She loaded him in her trailer, and Rico was performing with her and her team of horses in three months! While he may have displayed some wild behavior in his past, today he loves to perform and his kind personality shines when he interacts with kids.

I'm not sure Silver works as an Andalusian, but that doesn't really matter, right? And he matches the picture of the real Rico rearing pretty well, so I'm okay with it. So that makes two store specials I'll have to nab! I wonder if we'll get any more - I don't think Breyer has ever done more than three store specials. Hopefully they release an official photo of Hal so I can post it here!

Monday, March 11, 2019

Finally, something I want!

Sound the alarm! Alert the authorities! Release the hounds! There's a Breyerfest 2019 special run I actually want!

I don't yet have a photo of it I can use, unfortunately, but he's a looker! Dundee in solid chestnut - he's one of the store specials and his name is Hal! Huzzah! Apparently a flyer was mailed out to some hobbyists, and/or this flyer turned up at a Vegas toy show - I'm getting conflicting information on the source. Hopefully Breyer puts him on the website soon now that the cat's out of the bag!

Featured Model - 3/9/2019, Jubilee

Hello 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...Jubilee!



This beauty was a special run for Breyerfest 2014. He's item #711185 and was a run of 1200 on the Andalusian Stallion mold sculpted by Kathleen Moody.

I love this model! He's one of my favorites on this mold, and it should be easy to see why - he's a spectacular color! Breyer's silver bay colors always look awesome - at least in my opinion. I love his pearly mane and tail and his luscious gloss and his shading and dapples! He's beautiful.

He was pretty popular at Breyerfest too - he was one of the special runs that sold out. A big part of that was probably the 25 silver charm models scattered throughout the run, but still! He was a popular guy.

As for the Moody Andalusian, I've been waiting for him to show up as the Breyerfest surprise model for years. Could this finally be his year? Granted, he wasn't an auction model last year, but maybe Breyer will finally notice we've noticed that pattern and change things up a bit. You never know what could happen.

I'm also wondering if they'll put small runs of 30 in with the special runs this year, like the runs of 25 from 2014? I doubt it, or it'd make Breyer too predictable, but it would definitely be fun! They seem to be going more for the superhero/hero horses theme, though, so I wouldn't count on it happening.

But anyway, back to the Andalusian. He made an appearance last year as the highly popular rainbow special run Prism, so I don't really expect him to show up anywhere else - but he's never been a web special, so maybe he'll show up there? I can only hope - several molds have been used more than once, so it's definitely a possibility that we see him. I hope we get something really cool!

Move Over, Beethoven

Well, that figures! I didn't think they'd reveal the new special run until tomorrow, so I posted my special run predictions today! Then they revealed Bucky after all! I guess it's still good we didn't have to wait until tomorrow. So, here's Bucky!



I have to admit I kind of forgot/overlooked the St. Bernard mold, but given his past Breyerfest history, I don't think you can blame me. He previously appeared as Beethoven back in 2010, which turned out to be a rather epic blunder on Breyer's part - he didn't sell well, and I remember seeing leftovers in the Breyer store for years afterward! It's too bad, because it really was a clever idea.

Hopefully this iteration of the St. Bernard sells better than the last one did! I hope Breyer learns their lesson and doesn't make more than 750-800 of these guys to prevent tons of overstock. I won't be able to help with that, unforrtunately, as I don't collect the St. Bernard.

This is getting a little bit disconcerting - we're up to 4 of 8 special run line releases, only three of which we'll see beforehand. So far I don't want any of them - is that going to continue? Will this be the year I don't need anything from the special run line, aside from possibly the surprise model? That would be...bizarre. The last time I wanted so few things from the special run line was 2012, the first year we attended! Hopefully Breyer comes out with something I want soon, because I'm getting tired of saying the releases are nothing I need!

Breyerfest 2019 Special Run Predictions

Guess what time it is! That's right - Breyerfest prediction time! Ha, and I thought last year's post was late. At least that one was still in February! I guess that's what happens when life decides to come at you fast.

Anyway, I don't have the greatest record for predicting things at Breyerfest, but I'm going to give it my best shot regardless. So, here goes! As usual, these predictions will focus only on the special run line items to keep it from getting too long.

Three - soon to be four - of this year's special runs have already been revealed. They are Pepper (Clydesdale Mare), Quill (Smart Chic Olena) and Diana (Roxy). With the soon-to-be-revealed animal mold included, that leaves five other possible choices. Interestingly, we haven't seen any of last year's Premier Club molds yet - when they're usually the first to be revealed. Will we see any PC molds in the lineup this year? It's anyone's guess. We can definitely count on not seeing any molds used in the last two years, so that knocks Rejoice, the Cow, Latigo, the Semi-Rearing Mustang, Valegro, Shannondell, Yasmin, Flash, the Elk, Smarty Jones, Ruffian, Duende, Carina and Selene, the Proud Arabian Mare and Lonesome Glory out of contention.

Although we haven't seen any of them revealed yet, it's probably a safe guess that we'll see some of last year's Premier Club molds in the special run line. As a refresher, those molds were Bristol, Dundee and Emerson. The mysterious bay Bristol that appeared in that terrible YouTube video a few months back still hasn't been revealed, but most people on the Internets seem to think he'll be a store special, so I'll leave him out of these predictions. I still think it's safe to say we'll see Dundee and Emerson in the special run line, though.

As for the mare and foal set, here's a quick rundown of previous years' mare and foal special runs:

2010 - Stage Mom and Child Star
2011 - Hansel and Gretel (classics)
2012 - none
2013 - Naomi and Wynonna
2014 - Kodiak and Denali (bears)
2015 - none
2016 - Mamacita and Chico
2017 - none
2018 - Julep and Pim

We don't always get a mare and foal set every year, so this might be a year they skip that. If they don't, I have no idea what molds they would use or names they would give them. I don't know enough about comic book characters to speculate about mother-child pairs that would work. Maybe they'll do something generic? All of the special runs we've seen so far were direct references to comic book characters, though, so who knows. I'm going to err on the side of predicting we won't see a mare and foal set this year, but I could be wrong.

I'm sure the decorator will be something fun - comic book characters are well-known for their colorful spandex outfits that would never work in real life, so I'm sure we'll see something along those lines. Maybe on the Moody Andalusian? He's wild and crazy enough to work, and hasn't been used in the special run line since 2014.

Next comes the animal mold, which we saw a teaser for a couple of days ago. I still don't know what it could be - any of the wild animal or livestock molds would be too bizarre (at least for me), and the dog molds are too old/unpopular. I'm going to go with the Charolais Bull just because (last used in 2012, so he could conceivably appear again, though unlikely).

With that, we're already at the end of the list - the only thing left is the surprise model. Here's a list of previous years' surprise molds:

2009 - Quarter Horse Gelding
2010 - none
2011 - Ethereal
2012 - Flash
2013 - Roxy
2014 - Nokota
2015 - Lonesome Glory
2016 - Esprit
2017 - Latigo
2018 - Smarty Jones

For some reason, I didn't predict the blindingly obvious choice of Smarty Jones for the 2018 surprise. Maybe I thought it was too obvious? Either way, I messed up big-time there. Maybe I'll be able to redeem myself this year? As usual, the surprise model for the current year tends to be pulled from the pool of auction models from the previous year, so it'll probably be one of those.

After a quick look at the 2018 auction models, the top contenders for the surprise model would be Wyatt, Cigar (dubious), Wixom, Ashquar, Forever Saige and Salinero. I don't think Cigar is really popular enough to appear as the surprise, though. That's honestly a pretty short list, but I think Wyatt is at the top of the list for me - now that we've seen a model on a stand be the surprise, anything goes! He's fairly popular, new-ish, and the only knock against him is that he was used in the special run line way back in 2016. Latigo was the surprise in 2017 after appearing in the special run line in 2014, though, so I don't think that eliminates Wyatt. Unless I see something to change my mind, my prediction is on Wyatt (which would be easy on my pocketbook, since I don't collect him). The only question is, will they use a mold on a stand two years in a row? I guess we'll find out.

So, those are all the predictions I can think of so far. Here's a recap:

Pepper (Clydesdale Mare)
Quill (SCO)
Diana (Roxy)
Dundee
Emerson
Moody Andalusian
Charolais Bull?
Wyatt

No idea what colors any of the remaining models will be, except the remaining non-decorator models will probably be solid colors since we've already gotten a pinto on Pepper and an Appaloosa on Quill. As usual, we'll probably see a solid, an Appaloosa, one or two pintos and a decorator on the surprise mold - they really need to mix that up a little bit.

That's all I've got for today. I'll post the rest of my predictions at some point - hopefully soon, but I need more time to ponder on what they could be. On a good note, we've only got 4 months to go until Breyerfest is upon us once again! Huzzah!

Bucky?

There's a new hint on the blog! But Breyer seems to be getting more savvy with the hints...



I have no idea what that could be, and neither does most of the rest of the hobby, unfortunately. A bull, maybe? If you save the photo, "Bucky" makes up part of the file name, which might indicate a bull, confusing as that would be. I think most people were expecting to see a dog mold, since bulls aren't really known for their heroic exploits. I saw some other speculation that it might be the Buffalo, which makes even less sense than a bull. All of Breyer's dog molds are pretty old, though, except for the Companion Animal dogs - and those are pretty small, so I doubt Breyer would use them. Maybe it's a Mountain Goat? Lots of goats serve as horses' companion animals, although they usually aren't of the mountain goat variety. Your guess is as good as mine on this one, honestly. It's probably a bull, I guess? I'm rather partial to the Charolais Bull, myself - not that I'd buy it. Hopefully we see what it is before Friday, but I'm not getting my hopes up!

Featured Model - 3/2/2019, Tristan

Hello 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...Tristan!



Back in the halcyon days when Breyer used to make special run models for their Fun Days, this guy was the first of those special run models, in 2005. He's item #703105 on the Shire B mold sculpted by Kathleen Moody. IDYB doesn't have a quantity listed, so I guess it's a mystery as to how many of these actually exist.

Tristan is definitely handsome! Too bad Breyer didn't keep making the Fun Day special runs - they must not have sold well enough to justify it. Fun Days still happen - they're the events Breyer puts on at various dealer locations around the country, with Stablemates painting and other activities. Mr. Tristan here isn't the most realistic color for a Shire (IDYB lists him as a red dun sabino) but he could always be a cross, I guess. His purple ribbons look nice, too.

The Shire A has been rather lightly used over the years since his introduction, though he's been a website special run twice in the last five years, which helps. He was also a regular run in the Best of British line for a couple of years - only his third regular run appearance since his introduction in 2002, which seems odd. I wonder if his feathering and larger size make him more expensive to produce, making the profit margins smaller? I guess we can only speculate, and wait for him to show up somewhere else soon. He's a handsome guy, so I hope he gets another release soon!

Out of the Blue is now available to order!

Attention Bobby Jo fans! Out of the Blue, the first Collector Club special run for 2019, is now available on the website!



She's nothing I need to buy, fortunately, although that's a nice color on her. If the Idocus model the Collector Club members voted on at Breyerfest last year winds up being this year's second Collector Club special run, I won't need to buy either of them this year! I always like it when Breyer decides to go easy on my pocketbook!
