Featured JAH - 11/4/2023, Sept/Oct 1995

 Hello and welcome to another edition of Featured JAH! Can't believe it's already November - seems like the time is going by too fast. But I guess the people that remember when these magazines were newly published feel even worse...so let's get started. Here's Sept/Oct 1995! 

On the front cover, Big Ben and Ian Millar take a jump from a unique viewpoint. On the back cover, the same pair take a jump from a more conventional viewpoint, along with a teaser sketch of the upcoming Big Ben mold. 

In the Editor's Desk, Stephanie talks about Big Ben, along with the porcelain Saddlebred and a few other things. On page 3, Dear JAH contains some information about how Breyer portrait models are chosen, which is probably still accurate today. There's also a dramatic photo of Docs Keepin Time (barn name Justin), who played Black Beauty in the 1994 movie and also played the Black in the Adventures of the Black Stallion show (which I remember hurrying home from school to watch on Wednesday afternoons). 

On page 4-5 we have an article about Big Ben, with a title that should be familar to most collectors by now. Maybe we'll get some kind of Big Ben reissue at Breyerfest next year? Doubtful, but you never know. 

On page 6-7 is the conclusion to the Big Ben article (making his groom Sandi look tiny next to him), along with a Who Am I? featuring some type of Proud Arabian Stallion. 

On page 16 we have photos and information about various Breyer collectors, and on page 17 we have a Blast From the Past featuring the SR black Pacer, and the Just About...Breyer Animals features the rare white Boxer.

This issue's Vintage Point focuses on the Hanoverian, another victim of the shelf space shortage. In 1995 Art Deco was the newest release on this mold, and I got him for Christmas that year. He was one of my favorites, but I eventually sold him due to the aforementioned lack of shelf space. Sometimes I wish I hadn't sold him, but that's how it goes, I guess. Side note: the real Art Deco died 10 years ago at the ripe old age of 30. 

That's it for this week - tune in next week for Nov/Dec 1995 and an exciting update concerning Peter Stone, Breyer Man!
