The latest new arrivals!

 Well, I've had some new arrivals this week, readers! Check it out - it looks like the third time was a charm with Rowan! Behold! 

That's right - I finally got one I was happy with! Huzzah! 

Now that I got one whose paint doesn't scrape/rub off with the slightest touch, I like his mane and forelock! 

I do think I like the mare version better, simply because the stallion is a tad too shaggy for me. But I'm excited to see what other colors they put on this mold! 

Next, here's my Sylvan! He came with my latest Collector Club Appreciation order (I got a glossy Spinabbey, which...was not what I was hoping for. Oh well): 

He looked a lot more purplish in the promo photos, but he's definitely silver in person. And pearly on his white areas. I love him! 

So handsome. 

He's not so yellow in person.

And lastly, here's my Juriaan! 

He is also not so yellow in person, especially the ends of his tail. 

I decided to take him along to my next live show on Saturday (Hard Knox Live in Elizabethtown, KY!), so I guess we'll see how he does. 

He's beautiful! I'm glad I decided to re-add the Vermeers to my collection. 

Quality-wise, these guys are all pretty nice! I didn't spot anything majorly wrong with any of them. Woohoo! 

It's a Classic!

 Good news, everyone! Friday's sneak peek turned out to be a Classic on the Fairfax mold! Check him out! 

From the blog: 

 To commemorate this fun piece of art history, we’ve created Delft on Mindy Berg’s Morgan stallion, mold # 667, for our Freedom Series Limited Edition decorator model. The barrel of this striking blue and white resist splatter dapple decorator features a vintage-inspired horse and driver done in dark blue, reminiscent of the finely-detailed pastoral scenes found on vases, platters, and tiles that made Delft famous. 

I love the decal on this one! Definitely fitting for the theme, and reminiscent of Misty's Twilight (but I'm glad they didn't use Misty's Twilight for this, because then I wouldn't buy it). A great addition to this year's lineup. 

In related news, apparently we're half done with Breyerfest reveals, and we got a sneak peek for tomorrow! Check it out: 

 

Looks like something Crayola-related to me. Okay, I kid. But the buzz on the Internets is that it's something Greek pottery-related, which is fine with me, as long as we don't end up with any unintentional Xanadu references. So I'm excited to see what we get tomorrow! Breyer has done at least one cool Greek-themed thing in the past, so it'll be interesting to see what they came up with! 

Peace, Love and Breyers!

 We've had a couple of new reveals for 2022 - check them out! Breyer seems to be embracing a '60s theme - check out the Classics decorator: 

He's definitely...colorful. Personally, I think he'd have looked better without the gold (and possibly the horn), but it's good to see another new release on the Morgan. Maybe this means he'll get another unicorn release later in the year? Who knows.

And check out these Stablemates:

They're reminiscent of the swirly plastic Stablemates given out as trivia prizes, etc., way back when. I'm a bit curious as to why they're unicorns, though - seems a bit superfluous. Maybe I'm getting tired of all the unicorns lately? Who knows. And they could really stand dto give the G2 Clydesdale a rest, honestly. But the colors are pretty, anyway! Just, you know...maybe dig out some different molds? Anyway, it's good that we get to see a couple of the releases for next year. Let's hope get get more soon!
