Well, I was right about a new sneak peek today! All right, it wasn’t that hard of a prediction to make, but still. Here’s the sneak peek!
No idea which model it is, but I’m hoping for Cosimo. Guess we’ll find out on Monday!
News, notes and maybe a little snark from the world of Breyer model horses.
Well, I was right about a new sneak peek today! All right, it wasn’t that hard of a prediction to make, but still. Here’s the sneak peek!
No idea which model it is, but I’m hoping for Cosimo. Guess we’ll find out on Monday!
Greetings, readers! Well, the much-anticipated next reveal has been made (after yesterday’s critical announcement being that the volunteer application period will open next week) - and like we all thought, the model is Winnifred! Say hello to Aquavit:
The color is pretty, but Winnifred just didn’t appeal to me, so I’m passing on this one. She’d be pretty in gloss, though! Now I hope this one is the matte/glossy split and the Ethereal has a color split instead. Dare I wonder if we’ll get another sneak peek tomorrow, to be revealed on Monday? I hope so!
Exciting news today, readers - there’s a new sneak peek on the blog! Behold:
I thought those were Cosimo’s legs at first, but the title of the post points to a female model and then more astute people than me figured out they’re actually Winnifred’s legs. So I won’t need to buy her! Huzzah! Not sure when the reveal will happen, but apparently an important announcement is coming tomorrow. Is it the VIP ticket price? I feel like that’s pretty important.
Good news, everyone! The first Breyerfest 2026 special run has been revealed! Say hello to Litha!
My thoughts: Yes! I wonder if he’ll be the matte/glossy split? I hope so. He’s handsome! I like that all four of his legs are white, and most of his tail. What a beauty! I love him. I totally didn’t expect Ethereal to be used this year. I guess it’s been 15 years since he was used as a special run, so it’s about time.
Greetings, readers! Well, the full 2026 line was revealed today, and what a doozy! All kinds of crazy new stuff! Here’s the Holiday Horse:
I like the snaffle bit/tassel thing going on with the blanket. And Emerson is handsome in white/gray!
And here’s the Halloween Horse! Okay, I’ll admit dragons aren’t what I think of when I think about Halloween, but he’s cool nonetheless, and I always have room for another longboi.
The Django is the only one I want, but I knew that going in. I love that shade of blue/white!
And lastly for today, a new sneak peek went up on the Breyerfest blog! Behold:
Prevailing opinion on the Interwebs is that it’s Rowan, so I guess we’ll see! I’d be happy with either version of Rowan.
Exciting news today, readers! The new releases for 2026 (or most of them) appeared on Amazon today! I’m typing this on a cell phone and don’t want to upload all those photos here, but I’ll show some of them. I’ll start with the new Adonis!
At long last, we’re getting a regular run Adonis! Now the question becomes: will they ever use his original base/tail again? It’ll remain a mystery, I guess.
I’m not usually a fan of Shannondell, but I really like this color! He’s like a robot, but in a good way. Actually, he reminds me of the unicorn from the greatest (sadly defunct) mobile game of all time, Robot Unicorn Attack. That’s why I like him!
This one is in honor of 2026 being the year of the Fire Horse in the Chinese zodiac! I like his gold mapping and splash pinto markings.
This is the Orren Mixer Ideal Pinto! I thought the Mixer series was over, but I’m not disappointed to be getting another Hamilton. As long as he doesn’t become a Breyerfest prize model, of course.
Other new Traditionals include a chestnut Geronimo, dapple gray Bandalero, the black Rhiannon (all portraits), and a patriotic clearware set on Tigerlily and the Andalusian goal for some reason, rather than Firestorm. I’m a little bummed about that. There’s also a new bear set! Huzzah. Well, on to the Classics!
Yay, lots of new Lcassics! I want the American Dream, Love and Harper. But where is Love’s foal?
Once again…where is the foal? This will be the third release since this mold’s debut and they’re not using the foal in any of them? I’d like to see it in a non-decorator color someday…
I’m not usually a fan of pink, but I like it for this release (for some reason). Seems like I’m the only person that does like it from the reaction online, though. It would probably help if the spots weren’t so uniformly patterned.
There are also some new Little Bits and Stablemates releases, including a unicorn cart/wagon, a castle (?!), a mountain stock horse set and another patriotic set.
That’s it for today, but theoretically there will be even more reveals tomorrow - we have yet to see the 2026 Holiday Horse and Halloween horse, and hopefully there are more Stablemates and Classics to reveal, too. And on a side note, I discovered Amazon AU offers free delivery to NZ, so I may not have to wait as long for this year’s regular runs as I thought! Yay!
Happy New Year, readers! We got a couple of last-minute reveals today before signups closed for the various clubs. I’ll start with the last Breyerfest Stablemate:
Oh good, another mold I don’t collect. So we’re at 1/4 for the single-day Stablemates. More sales fodder for later, I guess.
Our other reveal is much more exciting!
