Best of Breyerfest, Lavinia and more!

Good news, everyone! After a several-day dry spell, we have some new reveals today! First off, this year's Best of Breyerfest set, celebrating 2008: 

So that's the G3 Hanoverian, Charleston, Mirado, the mini Indian Pony and Kit for our five models this year. I only want the Mirado (naturally) and the Kit - I love that color, and he'll go well with my Seren. I sort of wish they'd chosen more molds I collect - hopefully it's not too difficult to sell off my extras later. 

In other news, this year's first Collector Club special run, Lavinia, will be available for sale tomorrow at 12pm EST! 

I'm not going to buy this one (and the price is up to $95! Yikes) but good luck to everyone buying! I don't think she'll sell out all that fast, but you never know. Also, I wonder how they came by the name Lavinia, and if anyone at Breyer ever read the Thoroughbred series by Joanna Campbell...

And lastly, if you're looking for an Athenian Lady to buy...well, they can be found for cheaper in other places, but I feel obligated to mention you can get one directly from Breyer for $50 (if you bought a Breyerfest ticket between this year and 2020). 

Like I said, you can probably find one of these cheaper than $50 elsewhere, but I figured I should mention it for the sake of the news. They must have had a lot of them left over! 

Breyerfest plush revealed!

 Greetings, readers! A slightly unexpected reveal today - It’s this year’s Breyerfest plush!

Cute, but nothing I need, as usual. I like the tail, though. 

So all we have left to reveal for the Limited Editions is the Best of Breyerfest set and the online Stablemate and Traditional. Bring them on, I say! 

Looks like we’re getting a new unicorn!

 Greetings, readers! Just a small update today. An eagle-eyed collector noticed this item on Triple Mountain’s website. I’m having technical issues and can’t get the photo to load, but it’s still visible on Triple Mountain: a purple/pink unicorn Malik! The fine print on the box says the unicorn will be sold separately. Is it a mid-year release? Time will tell, but maybe it’s the holiday unicorn and we’ll see it at Breyerfest, if not a mid-year. 

Edit: Fixed now! 

It's a Dala horse!

 The Internets were correct! The Breyerfest sneak peek was a Dala horse! Behold: 

This mold works pretty well as a Dala horse! I like the white/blue mane and tail. Nothing I need to buy, but more Swedish representation is great. What comes next? The Best of Breyerfest set?  

Another sneak peek!

 Good news, everyone! There's a new sneak peek on the Breyerfest blog - behold! 

The general consensus is that it's a Dala horse, but what mold? I'm guessing it's the Classics release that'll be found in the store, but as for the mold, I have no idea. Guess we'll find out tomorrow! 

Yan Wu and Lisboa are here!

 Exciting news, everyone! Two more new arrivals so far this week. Yan Wu came yesterday and Lisboa came today - behold! I'll start with Yan Wu, who shipped for free through Amazon and took a little more than two weeks to get here: 

Have I mentioned I love this color? He's gorgeous! 

I love the gold mapping and the contrast of his bright glossy red against the white areas. Plus the gold in his mane and tail. Definitely my favorite of the 2026 releases. 

Quality-wise he's fine - the usual small booboos, but nothing worth crying over. I love him! 

Next, here's Lisboa, who didn't ship for free (sadly) and took just about exactly two weeks to get here: 

He's gorgeous too! Can't wait for the rest of my collection to make its way here so I can compare him to some of my other glossy bays. 

I'm mildly amused that I got a horse on the same mold two days in a row. Do all these new releases on Anamar mean even more releases are coming in the future? Ugh, I hope he isn't a best customs prize this year...

Quality-wise he's also fine, but has assorted debris/glitter (?) in his gloss in a couple of spots. Nothing too terrible, though. So I'm glad these guys are here! My small collection here is starting to grow. The rest of my collection should be here in about three weeks - I can't wait to unpack them! 

New test model!

 Exciting news, readers! There’s a new test run model for Collector Club members to enter for!

Forever Saige? One of my favorite new molds from the last 11 years? Don’t mind if I do! The color is a little strange, but cool-looking nonetheless. Good luck to everyone entering…though I’m crossing my fingers that I win!
