Good news, everyone! The April Collector Club newsletter is out in the wild - if you're a member, check your email! Possibly your junk or promotions mail...but nonetheless. This month's newsletter features an article about the history of Breyer packaging, including touchability boxes, a Bisbee giveaway, and a tantalizing hint!
When it comes to the box article, the ones that mean the most to me are the boxes from the '80s and '90s - you know the ones, with the clear plastic fronts, yellow cardboard backs and blue Breyer logo in the corner. It reminds me of many trips to Runnings, Country General and other places, where I would automatically gravitate to the wall of Breyer boxes. Oh, how I coveted (but have never owned) the old Deer Family back in the day! Those box ties were just the worst, though - I definitely did a number on more than one model's legs trying to get them out of the box. I definitely don't miss that part of it.
This month's giveaway is of a Bisbee from 2019! I already have one, so I won't be entering, but good luck to those who do! The entry period closes at midnight May 9.
And lastly, here's the sneak peek!

April Collector Club Newsletter!
From the hint "if it's not too much of a birden" (I see what you did there), it's clearly the next Birds of a Feather release, but who is it? My first thought was Dundee, but I've seen some credible suggestions that it could be Emerson. I'll want it if it's either of those, though! Let's hope those dapples aren't too nasty. eh?

I don’t know what the model could be but I think the bird it’s based off of could be a cockatoo.
ReplyDeleteI think it’s Emerson! If it is, I’ll be excited to see such a light color on it.
