This model was produced on the American Saddlebred Stallion mold, sculpted by Kathleen Moody, and was a store special at Breyerfest 2014. He was a run of 750 and is item #711194.
I like this model because he's like an updated version of Chubasco (who, incidentally, was the grandsire of the real horse this model is a portrait of). He also has a mark on his side that looks vaguely like an iguana! Cool stuff. As I mentioned earlier, this model is a portrait of the real Paddyngton (or Marcus, his barn name). Here's a shot of him at Breyerfest 2015:
He's definitely a beautiful guy! And his model certainly does him justice. 2014 was the same year Novelisto D was a store special, and although Novelisto was definitely the hottest item in the store that year, Marcus was also popular enough to sell out - just not as fast. He's definitely among my favorite Moody ASBs, and won't be going anywhere anytime soon!
The Moody ASB is also one of my favorite molds, and was last used as Patriot, the 2016 Limited Edition. Somehow I doubt we'll see him at Breyerfest this year, but maybe we'll see him as a web special or some other special run, or even a mid-year regular run. Or perhaps at Breyer's mythical collector event later in the year? Time will tell.
