Hello, readers! Welp, it's time for some more bad Vintage Club predictions. At least I'm getting this done earlier than I did last year, eh? I blame the video games. But anyway - in this post I'll attempt to predict which molds will be used in next year's Vintage Club. Some of this post is copy/pasted from previous posts on the matter, so if it seems familiar, that's why.
I'm not sure if this photo is even relevant any more, since it's so old, but I'll post it anyway:
So far, club members have seen the following models from the photo above:
Amigo, the charcoal Adios;
Halo, the Appaloosa-Performance-Horse-colorway on the Stretch Morgan;
Commander, the smoke Five Gaiter;
Denim (Diamonds?), the Copenhagen pinto Shetland Pony;
and Kiowa, the Indian Pony pinto on the Jumping Horse mold.
Also, the glossy palomino Semi-Rearing Mustang was one of the losers in the vote that gave us Tanner.
Molds that appear in the photo, but were used in the VC in other colors, include the Running Stallion, Man o' War, Quarter Horse Gelding, the Belgian (twice), Semi-Rearing Mustang, Fighting Stallion (twice), Running Foal (with Mare), the Western Prancing Horse, the Grazing Mare (with Foal), the Western Horse and the Thoroughbred Mare and Foal.
These are the vintage Breyer molds that haven't been used in the club yet:
Appaloosa Performance Horse, Black Beauty, the Black Stallion, Bolya/Halla, Brighty, Buckshot, the Donkey, El Pastor, the FAM and FAF, the Foundation Stallion, the Fury Prancer, Galiceno, Haflinger, the Hanoverian, Justin Morgan, the Lying Down Foal, Midnight Sun, Morganglanz, Phantom Wings, Phar Lap, the POA, possibly the PAF, Quarter Horse Yearling, the Race Horse, Saddlebred Weanling, the Scratching Foal, Sea Star, Smoky, the Stock Horse Stallion, Mare and Foal, Stud Spider, the Trakehner and the Western Pony.
For reason that should be obvious by now, I think Midnight Sun, the Donkey, Sea Star and Phantom Wings can all be eliminated from contention, and I don't think we'll ever see the Race Horse or the Fury Prancer show up either.
I'm completely at a loss as to what to predict for next year, since the Western Horse finally showed up in the club. Seems like the trend for the last couple of years has been to use a newer mold in the lineup and as the optional fifth model, so for those I'm going to predict Forever Saige in the normal lineup (as a nod to her resemblance to Buckshot), and True North as the optional model. As for the other three releases...it could really be anything. I'm going to go with Justin Morgan and the Hanoverian as the normal releases and the FAM/FAF as the gambler's choice. I also wouldn't mind seeing Adios again in a fresh new color. Are those good predictions? I guess we'll find out.
As for the Stablemate, they seem to be alternating between G1 and newer molds, so I'm going to guess the G2 Morgan for randomness's sake.
