Well, we're back from the weekend break with another reveal on the Breyerfest blog! Check out Peanutine!
As most collectors were figuring, it is a new Brighty - but I don't think anyone expected it to be named for an obscure old candy. Nice to see them making an effort to stick to the theme, too. From the blog:
In the late 1890s and early 1900s, Peanutine was a treat that was unique to the shores of Old Orchard Beach in Maine and sold to customers via a peanut-shaped wagon pulled by a tandem of donkeys. The recipe is simple and can be found here, and while there is little known about how many of these adorable wagons were made, their legacy lives on through beautiful postcards that have been preserved.
I have a terrible weakness for sweets, so I'm intrigued by the peanutine recipe. I may just have to get some peanuts and try it out!
As for the Peanutine model, it's unclear whether this is the animal special run, since it's still an equine. Maybe we'll find out tomorrow, since there's another reveal coming! Let's hope so.
He's definitely on my list, I love brighty but don't have one yet.
