Wow, look at the detail! I'm guessing this is the clay master, so it's anyone's guess how much of that detail will end up on the plastic version. I'm a little hesitant to say I like it just because he's so beefy, but Saddlebreds tend to look like that, so I'll have to get over it. Here's the front view:
I'm hesitating to reserve judgement until I see the whole sculpt, but I like his head at least. I'm a little perplexed as to why they'd make a new Trad in the same pose as last year's Classics Mason, but it's good to have a new Saddlebred. I imagine they'll wait until Friday morning at Breyerfest to reveal the whole thing, but who knows, maybe we'll see it tomorrow! I hope so.
Looks more like a Morgan than a Saddlebred to me, but the sculptor is well known for doing both breeds, so you never know.
ReplyDeleteI wondered if it was a Morgan, but that little blip of clay in front of the mane in the side shot kinda looks like it could be the top of a braid, so I figured it was a Saddlebred. Then again, I don't think Breyer would do sculpted-on braids in this day and age, but you never know...
DeleteI do think this is a saddlebred (I Show saddlebreds) in that from the front it looks like it’s racking. Also, Morgans faces are a lot more beefy, and not as long as this face is. And yes, saddlebreds look very beefy from the front! I remember looking at my saddlebreds, and I never really realized how beefy they really are! Jennifer Scott did an amazing job with her/him though! So, overall, I’m guessing it’s definitely a saddlebred!
ReplyDeleteYeah -- I took a second look and I think you're all right: Saddlebred it is! Really has Jennifer's look about it -- she's really good with that breed.
