Featured JAH - 8/3/2024, Jan/Feb 2002

 Hello and welcome to another edition of Featured JAH! We're starting a new year (again), so let's get going! This week's issue is Jan/Feb 2002. 

On the front cover, Boone's Little Buckaroo looks cute while doing his thing. On the back cover, the 2002 Spring Collector's Edition makes its debut! What a beauty. Remember Collector's Editions? I remember those. Eventually they started taking suggestions from collectors for the Collector's Edition, before it went away entirely. I wish they'd bring it back! 

Usually I skip the table of contents, but I scanned this one, probably because of the Mauvelous on the inside cover. The first ever Collector Event is coming! 

In the Editor's Desk, Stephanie announces the Spirit Collection and the new line of plush horses, as well as another QVC appearance (at 1am EST, ugh). On page 3 is a news roundup. 

On page 4-5 are the models that were offered on QVC. I've still never managed to get my hands on that Silver Cup Series set. I did have Seattle Slew and Equinox eventually, but later sold them off for shelf space. 

After skipping an Artist's Eye about painting by Tom Bainbridge and Letters to the Editor, on page 8-9 we have an article about horse of legend/Breyer portrait model Bucephalus. 

After skipping an article about a mother-daughter trip to Spruce Meadows, on page 12-13 we have a list of Breyer Tour events (RIP) and the reveal of the legendary Batal and Amira, the matching stallion and foal to the regular Tour model, Banat er Rih. 25 of these beauties were made and raffled off at the Tour events. This pair is super hard to find; I can't even remember the last time I saw one for sale. 

On page 14-15 we have an article about Miniature Horses.

On page 16-17 is the rest of the Miniature Horses article, as well as a feature on Boone's Little Buckeroo (model and horse). 

After skipping an article about dog agility, in this week's centerfold is the beautiful Silver Knight! I didn't enter for any of the 2002 Connoisseurs after being drawn for Masquerade, because of the little problem of not having much money. Later on I did have an extensive Adios conga, but never did get my hands on a Silver Knight. I'll just admire him from afar. 

On page 26-27 is a Breyer Scrapbook, featuring some fun envelope art. I always thought that Naughty/Nice combination was really cool. 

After skipping Collector's Corner, Horse Trader (down to 3 pages), and Breyer jr., on page 38 is the rest of the Miniature Horses article, and on page 39 is the first page of this week's Vintage Point article, featuring the Clydesdale Mare.

On page 40-41 is the rest of the Vintage Point, and that brings us to the end of this week's issue! Check back next week for Mar/Apr 2002!
