Basking in the Glow

 Greetings, readers! Well, it seems we've entered a bit of a dry spell news-wise over the last few days. Not much new to post about, except for a couple small tidbits. First, it turns out a goodly number of this year's Breyerfest models glow in the dark. The jury's still out on whether this was intentional or not. So you might want to check any and all Breyerfest 2024 models in your collection to see if they glow. I checked all 11 of my Athenas and was disappointed to see none of them glow - I'd really like to get those extra 10 sold off. Most of my other Breyerfest models didn't glow, but Blue Zeus does! As well as Llywellyn for some reason. I'm not sure if this affects their value much (if at all), but it's a neat little feature, if nothing else. 

Secondly, I was checking back through photos from this past Breyerfest (less than a month ago, but it feels like way more than that - what IS time??), and discovered something I'd forgotten about! My Survivor has a variation! Behold: 

She's missing the black spot on her muzzle. I'm not crazy about spots on muzzles anyway, so this is a win-win for me! Huzzah! Here's what she's supposed to look like: 

So that was an exciting little tidbit to discover. Let's hope we get some new news soon! 

New Arrivals: Survivor, Edge of Glory and Salvino

 Good news, readers! You get another New Arrivals post today. Huzzah! We're getting closer to being done with these, and then I can start working on Breyerfest Closeups posts. Let's start with Survivor! 

What a cutie! She looks really nice in this color. Maybe she's like a young version of the light gray pinto Rhiannon that was in this year's auction? Her little pink nose is so cute. 

Next: Edge of Glory! 

I'm really happy with this one - I love the contrast of his light mane and tail against the darker coat. He's a nice mix of old painting techniques vs new ones all at the same time. I hope we see this color again sometime in the future. 

Lastly, here's Salvino! 

Totilas looks handsome in dark bay. Still a little irked that they couldn't find another dressage horse to make a model of (since Salvino already had his own model), but I guess it's not like Totilas has already been done in this color. The only other time he's been a bay was as Zydeco back in 2014, and that was a micro run. I wonder if he'll be a glossy CCA release next year? Probably, or a glossy prize model. I'd better not think about it too much. 

That's it for today! Check back tomorrow (hopefully) for another New Arrivals post!
