Greetings, readers! My Javiers and Rowans have arrived! Well, okay, they've been here for a few days now, but it took me a while to get a chance to write this post. Alas, one of the Rowans (the stallion) went back to Breyer because of an unfortunate paint issue, but the other one is here to be admired! Behold!

As usual, she's not as yellow in real life as she is in the photos.
She's so pretty!

I definitely like the mare version better than the stallion version.

My stallion Rowan had to go back because it turns out you shouldn't be able to just scratch the paint off the horse with your fingernails. Who knew, right? Anyway, hopefully I get a new one in a reasonable time frame.
Anyway, let's move on to my Javiers! I got a matte one from my Stablemates Club membership, and then the second one I bought turned out to be glossy! Woohoo!

They look great together.

I'm also super glad they finally used the G3 Peruvian Paso in the club. Seems like this mold is kinda underused? Only one Breyerfest release and I don't think he's ever been a unicorn either. We want more Pasos!

Quality-wise they're both pretty nice, although the glossy one has more prominent eyewhites. He looks like he's seen some things, man. Well, he can have a nice life with me from now on.
This is such a good way for me to see the new horses, and help me decide which versions to get. Thank you! (I want the stallion.) I hadn't actually realized there was a gender difference. I like them both, for sure!
ReplyDeleteRe: scratches: Normally the acetone-base paint should bond with the plastic. If it doesn't, there may be real problems with the surface. One can hope your next horse is tougher!
