Looking to the Future: 2022 Vintage Club

 Huh...I guess I kinda forgot about writing this year's Vintage Club speculation post - until now. Oh well - better late than never. Much of this post will be cribbed from previous posts on the subject, just as an FYI. Despite my dubious prediction ability, I will once again attempt to predict what molds we'll see in the 2022 Vintage Club. Well, let's get this show on the road! 

This photo is so old, it's probably not worth bothering with anymore, but I'll put it up just the same:

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.

So really, all of those molds have been used by now, with the exception of the Longhorn Bull, and I doubt he'll ever show up - but you never know. 

These are the vintage Breyer molds that haven't been used in the club yet. I removed the Appaloosa Performance Horse and Smoky as they're being used or presumably being used in 2022:

Black Beauty, the Black Stallion, Bolya/Halla,  Buckshot, the Donkey, El Pastor, the FAM and FAF, 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, the Stock Horse Stallion, Mare and Foal, Stud Spider, the Trakehner and the Western Pony.

So, with the APH and Smoky already in the lineup, that leaves one vintage mold and probably one modern mold with a vintage paint job, plus the optional model. The remaining vintage mold is probably the gambler's choice release, so I think I'm going to go with Justin Morgan in an array of vintage colors and Vermeer (Noooooo!) as the optional model. 

Lastly, there's the Stablemate. They seem to be more-or-less alternating between old and new molds with those, so my guess is the G1 Morgan Mare.

Hopefully we only have to wait a few more weeks to find out if I'm at least in the ballpark with these guesses! I really should have written this earlier...
