Riah and Martina!

 Greetings, readers! Well, a small update on the Short and Sweet blind bags: they sold out not long after yesterday's blog post. Some people missed out on buying them, sadly, but there'll probably be a lot of them for sale later, after people open them and don't get a black one. So fear not! They'll be easy to find later on. 

In other news, my replacement Riah finally came! Behold:

I wasn't lucky enough to get a black-point one, sadly. 

This one does still have the weird white stuff on both sides of his tail, but at least it's not as noticeable this time. The white stuff on his off side wasn't visible until I took him out of the box, and at that point I was just done with the whole thing. 

I do like him, even though I don't think the color really does much for him. 

Anyway, here's my other TSC model for this year, Martina! 

I must not have been paying enough attention to the promo photos, because I wasn't expecting her color to be more of a wild bay than a true bay. 

Wild bay is my least favorite horse color, but maybe I can pretend she's some kind of dark red dun or something. Also, that giraffe neck really stands out from the off side, doesn't it? I still kinda wish Breyer had leaned into it and used this mold for the Nadifa release.

She sure is pretty, though! She looks great on the shelf with my other Forever Saiges. 

TSC special runs and the Killingtons!

 Good news, everyone! All four Tractor Supply special run models can now be ordered on the TSC website, including previously-available Colby and Brooks and now including Emery and Martina! Here's Martina:

Another pretty Forever Saige to take the sting out of not (so far) getting a Pitter Patter? Don't mind if I do! 

In other news, this year's winter decorator was also released today! 

It's Killington and Little Killington, previously seen in this year's JAH! The only thing better than a holiday silver filigree is TWO silver filigrees, right? Too bad I don't collect the Fighting Stallion or I would be all over this. Collector Club members have early access, so if you're a member, go forth and purchase before they go out of stock. Early access ends 11/6 at 10am EST, so if you haven't purchased by then, you'll be competing with the ravening hordes. Good luck! 

They do exist!

 Exciting news, readers! This year's TSC special runs appeared on the website today! Search "Breyer" on TSC's webpage and they'll be at the bottom of the last page (try not to pass out when you see them!). I was starting to get worried that we'd all been pranked or something. Anyway, the two special runs we were expecting (Brooks, on the Troubadour mold and Colby, on San Domingo) are included, as well as two more we didn't know about! Say hello to Martina: 

A new Forever Saige! Be still, my heart! 

We also get a new Firefly, called Emery:

She looks black in that little picture, but she's actually blue, in a nod to the blue FFA jackets. 

Here's Colby again:

Nice color, but nothing I need. 

And lastly, here's Brooks again:

I definitely want Brooks and Martina, so I guess I'll be checking the local TSC stores a while longer. I wonder if we'll get more later? Seems odd not to have some new Stablemate sets, too. Maybe the tariffs killed them or something. 

Also, my second replacement Rowan shipped yesterday, so hopefully the third time's the charm on this one!
