New arrivals!

 Greetings, readers! While we slog our way through this seemingly-extremely-long period of almost no Breyer news, I've got some new arrivals! Huzzah! 

I managed to snag a few of this year's new Classics with free shipping on Amazon, and here they are! I haven't unboxed them yet because I don't have anywhere to put them, but at least they're here. Sadly, the clearware unicorn mare's horn broke off in transit, so I have to send her back...sigh. I've seen a few others on Facebook with the same issue - they should have made the box a little bit wider to accommodate the horn. Hopefully the next one isn't also broken! And let's also hope we have some new stuff to talk about soon. The next Stablemates Club model is due soon - maybe it'll come out tomorrow! 

April Fool!

 Well, readers, it's April Fool's Day (for a little while longer in North America, anyway), and Breyer came up with another clever April Fool's joke! 

From the Facebook post: 

Are your Breyer horses longing for a little extra style on their feet? Coming mid-year 2026, we're excited to introduce HorseShoes - the new accessory for equines who expect something a little more special from their kicks! 👟 The collection starts with a set of four athletic sneakers in Breyer blue and yellow, with more options to come in the future. What are your horses  looking for - boots? High heels? Cozy slippers? Let us know in the comments below!

Looks like someone sculpted them right onto the model's feet with epoxy or something! Cute, and not nearly as controversial as some past jokes. Actually, if they were easy to put on and take off, there might actually be a market for these with the kids! 

No sign of any April Fool's blind bags yet, but they've been known to come out after April Fool's in the past, so maybe in the next couple of days (although I don't think the last two series were particularly good sellers, so who knows if we'll get more).  

March Collector Club newsletter!

 Good news, everyone! The March Collector Club newsletter has been released! If you're a CC member, check your email for more information. This month's cover story is a digitized version of an old video from a Breyer Tour stop in 1996. There's also a giveaway of a set of bears, Breyer's spring sale event, and this sneak peek: 

Looks like something roany. It's a new release for Collector Club members, so maybe this year's Classic gambler's choice? Or more April Fool blind bags? Hope we find out soon! 

The road to El Dorado

 Attention, readers! We interrupt this, uh...long period of nothing new to post about...with this! The next Vintage Club release, El Dorado! Behold: 

His pattern is based on the Appaloosa Performance Horse, but in Florentine and Copenhagen, shipped at random. When I first saw them, I had the sinking feeling that one of them would be a run of 75 instead, but fortunately that isn't the case - it's a 50/50 split. Nothing I need to buy, but I hope everyone gets the color they want...and that I have more stuff to post about soon! Sheesh. Pretty slow month, huh? 

San Juan selections are out!

 Attention, readers! If you entered for the latest web special, San Juan, the selections are now out! Check your email (and/or the website) to see if you were chosen. I didn’t enter for this one, but congrats to all the winners! 

Finally, something new to post about!

 Wow, that was a long break, huh? Sheesh. I don't remember the last time we went this long without at least something new to talk about. But anyway, the sneak peek from last month's Collector Club newsletter has been revealed! Say hello to San Juan! 

From the email: 

Named after the capital city of Puerto Rico, stallion San Juan has a stunning dappled palomino tobiano pinto coat designed by Sommer Prosser, complete with “tiger eyes”. Tiger eyes are a genetic trait unique to Puerto Rican Paso Finos that gives their irises a dilute coloring – typically yellow, amber, or orange. “San Juan 2026” is stamped on his belly in gold for authenticity.

What a handsome guy. Sommer does it again! I sold all my Cancions at Breyerfest last year, so I won't be buying this one, but good luck to everyone entering! 

February Collector Club newsletter!

 Greetings, readers! Well, the February collector club newsletter has been released - if you’re a collector club member, check your email to read it. This month we have a fun article about Breyer’s current-and-past Chinese Year of the Horse releases, including a rare image of some Classics tests. Check it out!

I was just thinking earlier today that we rarely get to see tests on the Classics molds, and it’s even rarer for them to go up for sale. Aren’t these cool? I think I like the yellow one the best, even though my favorite color is blue. And to top it off, there’s a giveaway of a Yan Wu model.

Also featured in this month’s newsletter is this sneak peek:

More astute readers than me have noted that this appears to be a Cancion model. The next web special, perhaps? Guess we’ll find out soon enough!
