This has been my most anticipated arrival of the year so far, and he definitely doesn't disappoint!
I love that he has a size to him, and the sculpt seems to catch a frozen moment in time perfectly. Plus, he doesn't have that annoying narrowness in front that so many of Breyer's more recent sculpts have been plagued with. He's awesome!
I think my favorite thing about him is his tail, though. It's long and flowy and portrays his movement so well, but isn't over-the-top and wild like a Moody sculpt would be.
Quality-wise, he's not perfect - there are some small booboos. But nothing major - I don't think I even photographed any of them. But look at his head and neck! I love him.
Truth be told, I'm almost dreading collecting this mold, because you know he'll probably be a raffle and a prize model at Breyerfest next year, and there'll probably be an auction model to boot. Sigh. Maybe I'll finally find a money tree next year? I hope so, because I have a feeling I'm going to need it!
Finally the near side. Thanks so much for the personal, unconventional views! Yeah I'll be dealing with this one for a long time...
