I'm intrigued by the desk light, too. It's interesting that VIP ticket holders are getting wristbands - I wonder if other ticket holders will also get wristbands? Maybe they'll hand them out as we're walking into the park. I like the color scheme for this stuff, too. <br /><br />I'm pretty meh on the fan, and the water bottle (though the holder could be handy). I'm also hoping/figuring there are more pins? Usually there are four VIP pins, not two. Maybe they're just keeping the other two under wraps for now. </p><div></div></div>fabalahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18385092631953170936noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9021102170837647092.post-28550622464750708172024-03-26T19:04:00.003-05:002024-03-26T19:04:25.583-05:00Worth It is here! <p> Great news, everyone!

Maybe one of the live show or BCC prizes? I feel like they'd be a little more specific if that were the case. Maybe it's another Limited Edition that hasn't been announced yet? Some kind of special Stablemate, perhaps? I guess we'll find out later in the week. <br /><br />In other news, Vintage Club welcome letters are arriving in people's mailboxes. I don't have any scans or photos of the letter, but the clues for this year's other releases include "a Marguerite Henry character, a 1980s sculpture in his flashiest color yet, and some tiny treasures that will melt your vintage-loving heart." No idea who the Marguerite Henry character would be, but the 1980s sculpture may be Roy, according to speculation on the Interwebs. I don't know what the "tiny treasures" is referring to either, although I suspect a lot of people won't be happy if it ends up being a Stablemates set or something. And no real word on which of these releases is the optional one, either. Happily, they decided to be up front about this year's Stablemate: it's the G1 Morgan Stallion! Huzzah! <br /><br />That's it for today - oh, and today is also the last day to enter for Mumbai, so get your entries in if you haven't. Good luck, everyone! </p></div>fabalahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18385092631953170936noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9021102170837647092.post-40564908042941020382024-03-16T13:30:00.060-05:002024-03-16T13:30:00.234-05:00Featured JAH - 3/16/2024, Nov/Dec 1998<p> Hello and welcome to another edition of Featured JAH!

Othello was one of many Breyer molds who came out in porcelain first, before being released in plastic later. He's now one of Breyer's most popular molds as well.

On second thought, don't answer that - I don't think I want to open that can of worms. <br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuN6NXLqeBxv_t4GkpHsmhY-7KsvyKqzv3BGGT4GMixWmnMvWu_tjsu1j3x3zJifVE8k_wXBXycJyMutqH0QNEReYA2DhRusX5u1YSbcKTY7H7-d5MyCeV52vg1PUWM9dQmW-WGupBqOwoOgpR58yraFYWvf_NBdm9xmpJDgN7G7lCbZycnTcM_iHcqLhE/s5100/Scan_20240310%20(3).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5100" data-original-width="3136" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuN6NXLqeBxv_t4GkpHsmhY-7KsvyKqzv3BGGT4GMixWmnMvWu_tjsu1j3x3zJifVE8k_wXBXycJyMutqH0QNEReYA2DhRusX5u1YSbcKTY7H7-d5MyCeV52vg1PUWM9dQmW-WGupBqOwoOgpR58yraFYWvf_NBdm9xmpJDgN7G7lCbZycnTcM_iHcqLhE/s320/Scan_20240310%20(3).jpg" width="197" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>After skipping a Collector Profile and an article about a non-portrait horse named Christmas, on page 28 we come to Blast From the Past featuring the Appaloosa Performance Horse, and Just About...Breyer Animals featuring the Calf mold.

This guy was teased in last month's Collector Club newsletter, but I wasn't expecting it to be a Marwari! Now I'm kind of wishing I hadn't decided to sell all of mine off. Kalahkaari is the only one I've managed to sell so far, but still! <br /><br />Oh well - money is a little tighter than it used to be these days, so any chance to avoid purchasing something is welcomed. Good luck to everyone entering! <br /><br />Also, BreyerWest is this weekend (if everyone can struggle through the snow to get to Denver), so theoretically we'll be seeing some great reveals this weekend, including the reveal of the mold and/or colorways for this year's Breyer Ambassador/Volunteer model! I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for that! </div>fabalahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18385092631953170936noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9021102170837647092.post-25188139677220582672024-03-09T13:30:00.001-06:002024-03-09T13:30:00.130-06:00Featured JAH - 3/9/2024, Sept/Oct 1998<p> Hello and welcome to another edition of Featured JAH!

I really like the Brandell too - I hadn't realized his body color is slightly glittery, similar to the Wassail models. <br /><br />Unfortunately, while I did have the chance to handpick my models, pretty much all the Traditionals were body-quality straight out of the box. The Cossaco had little black flecks all over it, some of which took paint with them when I picked/scraped them off, and Atlanta and Legend aren't much better. The ones I left on the shelf were worse! Legend would probably be the best of them, if he didn't have a weird little pink mark/scrape on his butt. The Classics aren't too bad, other than some irregularities in the silver paint on the Love and Hope set's feet. Which is odd, because my Iridium has some weirdness too, and she's completely silver. What's going on with the silver paint? "Smear" isn't quite the right word, but it's similar to that. Hopefully Breyer can get a handle on their QC soon, because I'd like to think the Trads are usually at least a little better than this. <br /><br />That's all for today - let's hope we get some exciting reveals soon, because things have been pretty boring lately! </div>fabalahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18385092631953170936noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9021102170837647092.post-61803160726467612192024-03-02T13:30:00.066-06:002024-03-02T15:38:01.316-06:00Featured JAH - 3/2/2024, July/Aug 1998<p> Hello and welcome to another edition of Featured JAH!

Twelve new Stablemate molds, the first new molds in that scale since the original G1 models! These molds were hinted at in a few past issues if you looked closely, though it apparently took a few years for them all to be sculpted (by Kathleen Moody, naturally). This particular issue was "customized" by a 12-year-old me writing in name ideas for each model, most of them inspired by books/movies, Traditional-size models or other horses featured in past JAH issues - see if you can figure out where they all came from! Foxy Durango Dude is an original, though. I believe a friend and I coined that one while trying to come up with the dumbest name possible. Of course, I did order this set, and still have seven of the models in it, along with the GIGANTIC box they came in. I had a lot of fun putting them into and taking them out of the foam cutouts in the box. But anyway... <br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNT0GNbZgJu1IdFxEt-U0LKRpqyx8eecqaB4eATYupAqklXAOhPDqi4KdfBe8On8OKS7scfZce82Hvd-9ftH43RbB1NRKRJ41zXIxeoFLPcvsRiVxp6K1q4hxsjc_9deZlCrasx6AsSlv5Mik1gI5v1qZiwhIMMcO08mbRfQ_yrOJToO2Ed1VxQY1jjDv5/s6629/22%20JulyAug%201998%203.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5070" data-original-width="6629" height="245" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNT0GNbZgJu1IdFxEt-U0LKRpqyx8eecqaB4eATYupAqklXAOhPDqi4KdfBe8On8OKS7scfZce82Hvd-9ftH43RbB1NRKRJ41zXIxeoFLPcvsRiVxp6K1q4hxsjc_9deZlCrasx6AsSlv5Mik1gI5v1qZiwhIMMcO08mbRfQ_yrOJToO2Ed1VxQY1jjDv5/s320/22%20JulyAug%201998%203.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>After skipping page 2-3 (nothing particularly interesting in the Editor's Desk or Breyerfest '98 schedule), we come to page 4-5, featuring the regular run debuts of the new Stablemates molds, complete with more "customizations" by myself.

It's me, posting on Leap Day 2024, a most auspicious date! For Breyer hath decreed that a sweepstakes will be held, in honor of Leap Day! Huzzah! <br /><br />Sorry, I just felt like being overly dramatic.

Well, February is almost over and we have our Collector Club newsletter! If you're a Collector Club member, check your email for more. I'm surprised they didn't wait until tomorrow to send it out, but anyways...there's an article about the popular Bristol mold, featuring some droolworthy photos of Jackpot, Leap of Faith and other Bristols I haven't managed to get my grubby mitts on. There's also a link to Andrea Gurdon's "Horses of a Different Color" seminar in honor of her passing, a Clooney 51 giveaway and this inconclusive sneak peek:<br /><br /><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDjf3r7PN8_GkWNf7yCax8er3e55ybzI4lvdtpCppMaoqIB1rrV1Pn53s10vLJVEiuGfd9TGwEOELCnt3BT_hhk0s-TWMZP2eev04Y-wZqy0uuG4QnfreUBJWjYr-OTHyEVH3jG_Wr2n4YntLE1m6pS85oX4dMqWK06V_2hFupy-LA1380MO2V2d4LsUo1/s236/unnamed.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="236" data-original-width="236" height="236" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDjf3r7PN8_GkWNf7yCax8er3e55ybzI4lvdtpCppMaoqIB1rrV1Pn53s10vLJVEiuGfd9TGwEOELCnt3BT_hhk0s-TWMZP2eev04Y-wZqy0uuG4QnfreUBJWjYr-OTHyEVH3jG_Wr2n4YntLE1m6pS85oX4dMqWK06V_2hFupy-LA1380MO2V2d4LsUo1/s1600/unnamed.jpg" width="236" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>From the description, it's the next entry in the Exotic Destinations web special series, but nobody's going to be able to figure out what it is.

But his tail is a bit different from the Trad-size one. It looks like they altered it to look wind-ruffled or something? I don't hate it, but I don't like it that much either. They probably wanted an easy way to tell it apart from the Traditional-size one in photos. The mini Brishen also has some minor hair differences from the Traditional one, so there's precedent. Anyway, the deadline for joining the Deluxe Collector Club is March 3, so if you're waffling about joining, you only have a few more days to decide! </div>fabalahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18385092631953170936noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9021102170837647092.post-43704094337474144292024-02-26T19:00:00.003-06:002024-02-26T19:00:29.202-06:00Breyerfest tickets and new Test runs! <p> Amazing news today, readers - Breyerfest tickets are finally available for purchase! Find them <a href="https://www.breyerhorses.com/collections/breyerfest-2024-tickets">here</a>. But be sure you buy the exact tickets you want, because there aren't any refunds. If you're a parent who isn't interested in special run models, buy General Admission tickets for yourself and VIP/All Access for your horse-crazy kids. If you can't come in person, buy an online ticket, not an All-Access or VIP ticket, because the tickets are digital this year and anyone you transfer them to is taking the risk that you won't use the QR codes yourself before they can (not saying anyone would, but that's the risk with transferring tickets to other people this year). <br /><br />I did grab a VIP ticket on the off chance that they sell out (not likely, but you never know), and secured Fight Song and Fighter and Survivor for myself, along with Just Like Fire and Gascon the Great. I hadn't realized it before, but since I don't need any of the other Limited Editions, this means I won't even need to visit the Breyer Store unless I want to. I probably will anyway to pick up whatever inevitable mid-year (or 2024 releases) I still need, but it's nice to have the option. <br /><br />While I'm glad we can finally buy the tickets, I was a little irked to see the $8 processing fee for the online tickets included in the ticket prices. Why are they making us pay the processing fee for something we didn't ask for? I don't mind that the tickets went digital (though I will miss the short-lived ticket books), but don't change this all up on us and then make US pay for your decision. <br /><br />Okay, rant over. Next on the news list: new Test Run models to enter for! This time there are two of them! <br /><br /><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSDS1-kApR8jjsuy0kMKj7uYiBSmiQ7cB8Clbikt5Hby3gkYVjjVJc6rgkiObIkrSrCm6uQYpnidexwYUM3odjo853tr908GaN9W-bgCHhO66b600P4dEEwBGDGX8oXnuT9qOwr7jYx1DBlgVAJu4jINKmq46QsEA5D9DpXX2zEmPVVxbnJgVtLOnErRMk/s2000/BlkPintoTestRun1-Collection_2000x550-Web_2048x2048.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="550" data-original-width="2000" height="110" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSDS1-kApR8jjsuy0kMKj7uYiBSmiQ7cB8Clbikt5Hby3gkYVjjVJc6rgkiObIkrSrCm6uQYpnidexwYUM3odjo853tr908GaN9W-bgCHhO66b600P4dEEwBGDGX8oXnuT9qOwr7jYx1DBlgVAJu4jINKmq46QsEA5D9DpXX2zEmPVVxbnJgVtLOnErRMk/w400-h110/BlkPintoTestRun1-Collection_2000x550-Web_2048x2048.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>There doesn't seem to be any backstory for why these have the same paint job. They're pretty, though! Nothing I need. They're priced at $1200, which is actually fairly reasonable - $600 each, which is probably roughly what they're worth. Merrylegs and Midnight Tango aren't the most popular models. The pattern does roughly resemble that of the original Midnight Tango, but with a bit more white on the back.

They sent out an email today (and posted on the <a href="https://www.breyerhorses.com/blogs/breyerfest-blog/breyerfest-ticket-update-1">blog</a>). It's a little light on specifics, but reading between the lines would indicate they're having technical issues. Which isn't that surprising, considering the problems with the Heath release and other recent website issues. <br /><br />So let's hope we get our tickets soon! Though we should all be happy, really - this gives us more time to save up! <br /><br />In other news, applications to sell at Breyerfest are now open (swap meet, artisans' gallery, vendor marketplace, etc), so if you're interested in those, find more information <a href="https://www.breyerhorses.com/blogs/breyerfest-blog/sell-at-breyerfest-2">here</a>! </p>fabalahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18385092631953170936noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9021102170837647092.post-33021267171205242612024-02-22T20:50:00.000-06:002024-02-22T20:50:57.896-06:00Breyerfest Volunteer Applications are open! <p> Well, we still don't have Breyerfest tickets, but at least we can apply to be volunteers!

I grew up collecting Breyer models and left the hobby in 2004 when I started college. At that time, the only Breyer website I was aware of was Breyer's own, and social media didn't really exist in the way we know it now. When I returned to the hobby after finishing college in 2010 (long story), social media was now a thing, and Breyer History Diva was one of the first things Breyer-related that I found. <br /><br />I've been a devoted reader of the blog since then, and was even able to meet Andrea on a few occasions (we were volunteers at some of the same Breyerfests, and we also attended the Sweet Home Chicago and Chasing the Chesapeake collector events), though we were never more than acquaintances. Some of my memories of Andrea include: we sat at the same table at Tempel Lipizzans while the hors d'oeuvres were being served. During a group discussion of Kentucky Derby winners, I pulled up Kauai King's Wikipedia page on my phone, which she promptly grabbed to look at. This made me inwardly geek out a little bit (OMG SHE ACTUALLY TOUCHED MY PHONE!) and jokingly swear to myself never to replace the phone. Another memory of Andrea: at Chasing the Chesapeake, she dressed up as a battered NPOD-attendee, complete with bandages and walker (if I'm remembering correctly). She had a sign alluding to the NPOD, though I can't remember exactly what it said. In any case, from a distance she saw me reading the sign and flipped it over so I could read the other side. I just wish I could remember exactly what it said! Curse my faulty memory. Anyways, I laughed and gave her a thumbs up. Come to think of it, I think Andrea coined the NPOD's name (Ninja Pit of Death). <br /><br />I saw her many other times at Breyerfest every year, usually in her Clarion room or at the Horse Park, but I tend to be awkward and weird around people I don't know that well, so other than being on the periphery of some conversations, I didn't try to talk to her much. The last time I saw her (I think) was on Breyerfest Sunday last year, going through the leftover line at the end of the event. Of course, I had no idea it would be the last time I would see her. <br /><br />I still can't believe Andrea is gone. She was a fixture at every Breyerfest, and I always checked her blog to see her thoughts on whatever was happening in the world of model horses. She was my anchor to all things model horses, and I can't imagine the world of Breyer without her in it. I started this blog at least partially because of her, because she posted about wanting some kind of Breyer news hub and with my journalism degree I thought I might be able to fulfill that need. I hate the thought of her not being around at Breyerfest anymore - she had attended all but the very first one, and it's so hard to face the reality that she won't be there this year. It'll be strange to walk down the halls of the 300s at the Clarion and not see her in her usual room. If I think about it too much it makes me start to tear up. <br /><br />I've been looking through my past Breyerfest and event photos to see if I had any photos of her, and the only decent one I have is this one, from the Breyerfest 2015 costume contest:<br /><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjl4JGj2vo9P8uwINWTSAEGEgedCIUoD4ldqYdlmqPbAp95Vrxhqjw2KSi0u0TK8FRoFQjMt5Om4jar6c-0sKHVqjwjP__v2PymVhb8fZo9gJzAoA12faH0JdhP0hu3hsINh6ucvavkpzS9_GdtcsGNqr_xKc8WmCpLqsOlMyYooEfXc-vWUEDgq8ZM2g9S" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="960" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjl4JGj2vo9P8uwINWTSAEGEgedCIUoD4ldqYdlmqPbAp95Vrxhqjw2KSi0u0TK8FRoFQjMt5Om4jar6c-0sKHVqjwjP__v2PymVhb8fZo9gJzAoA12faH0JdhP0hu3hsINh6ucvavkpzS9_GdtcsGNqr_xKc8WmCpLqsOlMyYooEfXc-vWUEDgq8ZM2g9S" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">She's the one in green - her costume was The Little Prince. <br /><br />Goodbye, Andrea.

The "we are looking into getting on the internet in the near future" gave me a bit of a chuckle. Also, I had forgotten someone actually managed to correctly guess the number of spots on that Tom Bainbridge-painted Lady Phase! Wow.

What a handsome boy, although nothing I need. There was apparently a bit of a snafu right after he was released - some of the promotional copy was apparently not vetted well enough and called him a dunalino (I think) and said he would come with leg wraps. As far as I can tell, that wording has now been removed from the website. Still, uh, proofreading is a valuable skill, guys! Maybe give it a try sometime? <br /><br />Anyway, here's Scorpion's box! <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiDCb2qfSHmNz8H3J_PuH3c-yNbzLIRYuX9Sv9VRXBcaYtXfTGVlGu7Gro-CCvrEglpfGlGHeQtE-5YkteI-tCFLITOVIiRKKLyBatXJrOAx4J2JV19oshn7-pBlHZz0vewVDEbrNoS7LQn7GPtHxeVJaRIGM-p2Zq9U-qNm4qtj7TpMq13KXxbIttv_wzq" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="858" data-original-width="1240" height="221" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiDCb2qfSHmNz8H3J_PuH3c-yNbzLIRYuX9Sv9VRXBcaYtXfTGVlGu7Gro-CCvrEglpfGlGHeQtE-5YkteI-tCFLITOVIiRKKLyBatXJrOAx4J2JV19oshn7-pBlHZz0vewVDEbrNoS7LQn7GPtHxeVJaRIGM-p2Zq9U-qNm4qtj7TpMq13KXxbIttv_wzq" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Wow, the model matches the picture on that box pretty well. <br /><br /></div><div>In other exciting news, there's a new St. Patrick's Day plush! <br /><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvIeu0KiMWDywVu5oidkrMVOwwgRpZhCbuI6mFzbkbwGEa_eDr_uaTF42BWSqDeudyMD1v-8X4wd1gov1DaogexuVxQBZXgLyKqzncGwiN5iDO1GQz8yRK_m9hzN7K1KjvwBtcd_doc1pJZUjIKfzHwvnu2RFJQwS4jzhHRwU8JAGCm-aDEAxjUucdO92t/s600/unnamed%20(1).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvIeu0KiMWDywVu5oidkrMVOwwgRpZhCbuI6mFzbkbwGEa_eDr_uaTF42BWSqDeudyMD1v-8X4wd1gov1DaogexuVxQBZXgLyKqzncGwiN5iDO1GQz8yRK_m9hzN7K1KjvwBtcd_doc1pJZUjIKfzHwvnu2RFJQwS4jzhHRwU8JAGCm-aDEAxjUucdO92t/s320/unnamed%20(1).jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>He's cute, and kinda reminds me of the <a href="https://identifyyourbreyer.com/Images3/711380.jpg">plushie</a> from Breyerfest 2020.

For some reason, whoever wrapped these guys at the factory apparently forgot that you have to stretch out the honeycomb paper before you use it, so it'll, you know, protect the model. There's absolutely no protection if you don't use the paper properly - you might as well wrap it in Walmart bags or tissue paper. The technique can't be that hard, as it was used to good effect at last year's Breyerfest (though the glue on those paper bags needed to be stronger). So... what happened? While the Heaths were still packed in a plastic bag before the paper was wrapped around their heads and tails, many of them suffered rubs to the left ear due to the ear poking through the plastic bag and rubbing on the tightly-wrapped paper. When I opened my Heath, his ear had indeed poked through the bag, and while I think the ear does have a small rub, the paint on the edge of that ear is thinner than in other places, which effectively camouflages the rub and makes it hard to see unless you're looking from the right angle. <br /><br />So how do we fix this? Clearly whoever's packing the models needs to actually stretch out the honeycomb paper (for economics' sake, if nothing else; you use a lot more of it if you don't stretch it first), but they need to either use thicker bags on the models or wrap the heads less tightly (or go back to bubble wrap, but we're trying to be environmentally conscious, here). This issue has been pretty much all anyone can talk about for the last couple of days, so hopefully Breyer got the message. <br /><br />That's all I have for today! Presumably Breyerfest tickets will go up for sale tomorrow, since Breyer said it would be this week and well, it's Thursday and nothing yet. Hey, tomorrow is payday for me, too...but I also need to pay a visit to the KHP gift shop and see if they have the 2024 new releases yet, so I shouldn't get too crazy with the spending! </div>fabalahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18385092631953170936noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9021102170837647092.post-33076007111980087232024-02-10T13:30:00.028-06:002024-02-10T13:30:00.136-06:00Featured JAH - 2/10/2024, Jan/Feb 1998<p> Hello and welcome to another edition of Featured Model!

I only have a small update today - there was a Breyerfest Blog <a href="https://www.breyerhorses.com/blogs/breyerfest-blog/breyerfest-ag">post</a> about the Artisan's Gallery today, and the post noted that Breyerfest tickets will go on sale next week! Huzzah! <br /><br />Actually, I have two small updates - my Heath seems to have shipped today, or is preparing to ship, so I'm hoping to see him soon! Yay! </p>fabalahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18385092631953170936noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9021102170837647092.post-86100236058179296432024-02-07T18:50:00.003-06:002024-02-07T18:50:20.338-06:00Heath-anigans<p> Well, after a bit of a delay, <a href="https://www.breyerhorses.com/products/heath">Heath</a> came available for sale today! <br /><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhCQnsSAsLZdJPJ-3YmDtkfn16VClZEXahz9bCzW8NTnrm84XmPr7Eb7dAXOmDtT3mSgGWj4_e51GogQ47tnxNJmjamulktwtAsED2P3EWBpI4YtCwfcv0Nr1tvaGVm3hOPO38uKJetofavE3-PvWLZ9ZybzdOQCxhZDACWY7bFDg5dtJWnqrynvvMTbgYp" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="998" data-original-width="1240" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhCQnsSAsLZdJPJ-3YmDtkfn16VClZEXahz9bCzW8NTnrm84XmPr7Eb7dAXOmDtT3mSgGWj4_e51GogQ47tnxNJmjamulktwtAsED2P3EWBpI4YtCwfcv0Nr1tvaGVm3hOPO38uKJetofavE3-PvWLZ9ZybzdOQCxhZDACWY7bFDg5dtJWnqrynvvMTbgYp" width="298" /></a></div><br /><br /><p></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Barely a blip in the grand scheme of things, really - at least the sale still happened today. Last time there were technical issues, it took a little while for the sale to actually happen. Hopefully Breyer will get those glitches figured out at some point? It's only been 5.5 years since they switched to this new website...<br /><br />But anyway. I'm excited to see my Heath! His mane and tail almost do look pearly in these promo photos. I'm looking forward to seeing him in person! It doesn't look like he's sold out yet (as of 7:48PM EST), so they must have made plenty of them (again). Still, Othello is a pretty popular mold, so I wouldn't suggest waiting too long before you order yours, if you want one. </p>fabalahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18385092631953170936noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9021102170837647092.post-64437944752683043672024-02-06T18:32:00.003-06:002024-02-06T18:32:35.297-06:00Grab yourself a Heath tomorrow! <p> More good news, everyone!

I wonder if his mane/tail will be pearly? I'm kinda wishing he were glossy. <br /><br />Anyways, he'll go live at 1PM EST tomorrow, so be ready to buy if you want one! He'll cost $75 plus shipping (and taxes, bleh), which isn't too terrible of a price. I suspect he won't last overly long, since Othello is such a popular mold. Happy buying! </div>fabalahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18385092631953170936noreply@blogger.com0
