Fletcher is available for preorder!

Exciting news! Next year's first Collector Club special run, Fletcher, is already available for preorder - with a choice of matte or glossy finish!

They haven't had this option for Collector Club members before - I wish they would! Oh well. I won't be ordering this guy anyway, since I don't collect Wyatt. He sure is nice-looking in glossy, though! 

Here he is in matte (with a different-colored stand - interesting).

He looks like a completely different model in matte. I definitely like the glossy better - though I'm still wondering what's going to happen with those three test models that were in the tent at Breyerfest.

In the meantime, Fletcher can be preordered by current Collector Club members until November 30, so undecided members have plenty of time to decide if they want him. His total cost is $75 plus shipping, with a $25 deposit due at the time of preorder. Order him here!

Collector Club 2018 memberships are now open!

Exciting news! Collector Club memberships for 2018 can now be purchased on Breyer's website. More importantly, the club structure is being revamped somewhat to be based on the calendar year rather than the old rollover structure. If you're already a Collector Club member, presumably you've received an email about this explaining the changes and providing a discount code to extend your membership through the end of the year, based on when it currently expires (or longer, if it expires next year sometime). And, apparently this flashy guy is one of next year's Collector Club models!



His name is Fletcher, according to the website (where do they come up with these names?). He's beautiful, especially with the gloss (Gloss on a Collector Club special run? Gasp! They haven't done that since Tesoro de Oro in 2014!).

Interestingly, he looks a lot like these three models that were on display in the Collector Club tent at Breyerfest this year:



They're similar, but not quite the same shade of...whatever color that is. Unless Fletcher's gloss is really bringing out the color there. So are they not going to use any of the bottom three? It would be weird to have both of next year's Collector Club horses be appaloosas in almost the same color (and disappointing for me, as I don't collect any of these molds). I guess we'll have to wait and see.
