I guess I spoke too soon...

 Well, looks like I should have kept my mouth shut one more day, because the 2021 Mid-Year releases are here! Let's start with the one we've all been waiting for: 

WGH CH Marc of Charm!! That's right, the model rumored to be one of the Breyerfest store specials in 2019 (or was it 2020?) is finally here! He's definitely going on my want list, though I hope the mane and tail are less yellow in person. 

Next, we have Tiz the Law! 

Seems like kind of a random choice for a Thoroughbred portrait, but that Lonesome Glory is beautiful! Must add him to the collection!

This lovely black Arabian is KB Omega Fahim, a Shagya Arabian stallion who specializes in dressage. I love the blue sheen to the color! Another one I'll have to add to the collection! 

Ooh, a black Malik! I love it. Though I really think the Shagya Arabian, or another (not-yet-existing) mold would be the best fit for the Black, as he's frequently described as being too big to be pure Arabian and Malik looks Arabian to the core. But I digress...

The horses-as-food series appears to be continuing, with Red Velvet! Ooh, I love red velvet cake...but I don't collect this mold. Looks like an interesting color, though! 

And lastly...Thriller, this year's Halloween model! Apparently dealers are being limited to 12 of these, so be sure to reserve yours fast. I just preordered mine, so hopefully it goes through and I'm the proud owner of a Thriller! 

Featured Model - 3/13/2021, Red Velvet

 Hello and welcome to another edition of Featured Model, the weekly blog event where I pick a model I don't own but would like to, give some stats on it and provide commentary about it. This week's model is...Red Velvet! 

This handsome guy was the Saturday raffle model at Breyerfest back in 2009. He's item #711409 and was a run of 26 on the Andalusian Stallion mold sculpted by Kathleen Moody. 

This is such a nice color on the Moody Andy! Or maybe it's just how blindingly white his whites look in that photo. To be fair, it's hard to screw up a red dun, but he has a lot of depth to his paint job! I really like him. Maybe someday I'll be able to find one for sale for a nice price, but in the meantime I'll have to admire him from afar.

As for the Moody Andalusian, he was part of last year's 70th Anniversary lineup, and the 2019 Breyerfest surprise model before that. Where will we see him next? He's had a large number of releases since his 2004 debut, but somehow he's never been a web special, so I'm going to make that my guess. If I'm right, I hope I can get my hands on one!
