Gingerbread is here!

 More exciting news, everyone! My Gingerbread has arrived! 

First off: this model is indeed a mare, despite being referred to as a "he" in the promo material. Oops! 

What a little beauty! Her blanket is darling, also (doofy me didn't get a photo of it, though). 

Unfortunately, her quality leaves a little to be desired - lots of little booboos all over, and she has the dreaded blanket stains. It's nice that they wrapped the horse's middle in plastic to protect it from stains, but the edges of the blanket still got her front and rear legs on that side. D'oh! Maybe it's time to start packing the blankets alongside, rather than on, the models? Might save some money on wasted plastic, also. 

Lastly, I forgot to mention yesterday that the second Collector Club special run of the year is also pictured in this year's JAH - it's a mealy bay Wixom named Brunhilde! Let's hope the official photos get released soon so I can post them here (though with a name like that, the only thing I'm thinking about is this). 

Now all we need is some milk!

 Attention, collectors: there's a new Pony for Christmas release on Breyer's website! His name is Gingerbread; check him out! 

I couldn't order this one fast enough. A new Bouncer, and what looks like a nice coppery chestnut to boot? My only nitpick is that I wish there was a photo without the blanket. Though he can definitely pull off the ugly-Christmas-sweater look! Can't wait to see this one in person! 

Also, more TSC models are showing up in stores, and it looks like there are new Mystery Foal Surprise sets out there. The photos I've seen showed a dark blue Greyson, gold/palomino Croi, some type of G2 Morgan, a Prince Charming, a green G3 Prancing Arabian, blue pinto Magnolia, and one of the foals is the new draft foal in lime green. Definitely going to have to pick up those sets if our local TSC stores ever get them in stock! 

Mira and Antares, and a Christmas miracle!

Exciting news, everyone! The unicorn mare and foal set I posted about last week is now available to order! Say hello to Mira and Antares!



My holiday catalog from Breyer did come yesterday, but I didn't have time to post the picture of this set. Speaking of which, the catalog also featured this bay Haflinger I also posted about last week - A Pony For Christmas:

I didn't buy him, but I did snag the mare and foal set as soon as I could. This time I remembered to try to use the collector club discount code (no luck there), but they do qualify for the free shipping, so at least there's that (at least, the mare and foal did - I don't know if the pony does).

In other news, my constellation unicorns arrived today, and....it's a genuine Christmas miracle! Behold:



I got all four! Woohoo! I was expecting I'd probably get four of the Clydesdale, but fortunately that didn't happen! Yay!

I'm still not forgiving Breyer for the sea of blind bags (and the sea of trash it produces), but this at least helps.

That's all I have for today - I'm hoping we find out the 2020 releases and the optional model for the 2020 Vintage Club soon, though.
