Oh, deer!

 Well, after a bit of a Thanksgiving hiatus, Breyer is back in black (or, well, piebald) with this new web special - behold! 


















From the website:

White-tailed deer can be found from Canada to South America. Highly adaptable, they make themselves at home in the forest, meadow, and even the suburbs. Garret is a mature white-tailed buck. He sports unique coloring called piebald, which is similar to pinto markings in horses. His shaded brown coat is accented by white markings, which is a recessive trait not commonly seen in the wild. Piebald white-tails can vary in appearance, with some appearing almost completely white, while others may just have a few patches. Some studies estimate that only 1 in 1,000 deer will be born piebald, making this fellow a rare and beautiful sight!

He's interesting, but nothing I need. I wonder if a matching doe and fawn will come out later? 1,000 seems like a pretty large run size, almost too big - but last year's disco ram seems to have sold well (edit: fewer of those were made than I remember - oh well), so who knows. 

We also have this month's Collector Club newsletter! If you're a club member, check your email inbox for more. There's an article about eco-friendly packing material, a giveaway and of course a new sneak peek:

















Something sparkly and red - perhaps part of a shoulder? No idea what mold it is, or what release this could be. They don't do sneak peeks of the Christmas morning release, so it probably isn't that. Maybe it's a surprise special run for Winterfest, to be revealed tomorrow? I hope so!

  2. Love the deer. I'm surprised they haven't thought of that before. Piebald or dominant white deer are becoming more common in my area.
