Sirius and Vega!

 Another surprise special run popped up on the website today - Sirius and Vega! Collector cluh members get early access to this cute set.



From the website:

Named for stars found in the winter sky, this mythical pair will certainly dazzle you! Sirius has a bright white coat, just like his namesake - the brightest star in the sky. With light purple shading and silver hooves and horn, he is both cheerful and elegant. His sister is called Vega after the star that shines blue in the winter night. Vega sports a fantastic blue/purple interference coat, which is accented by her golden hooves and horn.

Although they're cute (and I like the color on the dark one!), they're nothing I need to buy. That's depressingly common with Classic foal sets, since the only Classic foal mold I collect is Hansel. This set makes me wish Breyer would come out with a Trad foal set - I'd love to see some of our more recent Eberl foals in these colors.

Anyway, these guys are priced at $25, which isn't terrible. I wonder how many were made? Breyer doesn't seem to like announcing that on a lot of their Collector Club special runs for some reason. Hopefully we hear eventually.
