Lots of new reveals today!

Hello, readers! First off, as you may have noticed, Featured Model was on hiatus last week. I guess I was just enjoying having the weekend off from work so much that I completely forgot to write a new post. Oh well!

Anyway, I'll start with the reveal of the last Breyerfest special run for the Fling! Souvenir Shop: a Mini-Raffle Stablemate set! Huzzah!

All I can say is: YES PLEASE!

Okay, I can say more than that. These are amazing, especially the mini North Star! I love it. And this is series 1...so there are going to be more! These models are mini versions of the raffle models Carlisle, Viajero, Windswept, North Star and Que Sera Sera. Great idea, Breyer!

Next, the mid-year releases have been announced:

Peptoboonsmal on Dundee!



Checkers on Latigo! Nothing I need, but look at that rich chestnut color!



Apparition - the 2020 Halloween Horse! Interesting concept, but also nothing I need.



Adiah HP, the previously-announced pinto Totilas!



And, last (and least, honestly...for me anyway)....more blind bags.



You'll have to excuse me if I'm not terribly excited about these, because I'm tired of blind bags as a concept. Fortunately, I only want two of them (the mini-Brishen and mini-Emma). I'm also not excited about the chase piece and "super-chase." Just what I want; yet another, even more-impossible-to-find chase! And it's probably a mini Othello to boot. Yawn. I'll get the Brishen and Emma secondhand rather than give Breyer the satisfaction of ordering any of these. Bleh.

That's all I have for today! Hopefully we get more Breyerfest news soon! I'm anxiously awaiting the email where we make our Breyerfest model selections!

New Totilas!

So there's a new article out from Chronicle of the Horse, detailing how real horses become Breyer models. And there just happens to be a new model reveal in the article!



That's right - Friesian Sporthorse dressage mare Adiah HP is becoming a Breyer! I had never heard of her prior to reading this article, but she's definitely pretty! The article says the new model will be available in July, so I'm guessing she's a mid-year release. Let's hope the other mid-year stuff is just as exciting - I'll definitely need to find one of these ladies!
