It is Cosimo!

 Hurrah! Good news, readers! The sneak peek is indeed Cosimo! 




















I love him! What a nice color on him. Too bad he isn't glossy though. Where's all the gloss?! Are they all going to be matte/glossy splits? I'm so confused! Anyway, something else is coming tomorrow - probably a sneak peek for the last special run and then they'll reveal it on Monday. Will it finally be something glossy? Time will tell...

In other news, the first Vintage Club release of the year is now available for purchase! It's Sentinel and Echo! 


















Let's not forget the other foal:


















I'm glad I don't want these, because I'd be annoyed at having to track down another set for the foal, unless I was lucky enough to find someone selling just the foal. But anyway. Nothing I need, but I hope the club members enjoy them! I'm kind of surprised it took this long to get a vintage-style "blue" roan - but in fairness, it never occurred to me as a thing that should exist before, so I don't blame Breyer for it. It'll be interesting to see what these look like in person!

2026 Vintage Club reveal!

 Good news, readers! Breyer revealed another release in the 206 Vintage club today. The club hasn’t sold out yet (as far as I cai can tell) but I’m not sure this reveal helped that situation all that much…











The “old-style blue roan” colorway is neat, but this set has the same problem as Surrey and Axle from 2023 - people that collect the foal molds will be forced to buy both sets and then have an extra Running Stallion they don’t want. Most of the comments I’ve seen online indicate that they still aren’t planning on joining the club until more is revealed, which I agree with. Don’t join the club until the last minute! That encourages them to reveal more stuff. I won’t be joining in any case.

Flock together, indeed!

 It's official, everyone: the Birds of a Feather web special theme is...still back, and here's the second release of the year: Robin and Nestling! 









They're cute! And piebald robins are things that exist (if rare), so the fact that they're pintos don't really bother me. What does bother me is that these photos look...really artificial? I'm not sure what it is, but they look really weird, like the gloss was added with Photoshop or something. There are 500 of these sets, so...I'm wondering if Breyer is going to have a lot of leftovers of these? They're nothing I need, so no competition there. I guess we'll see if they show up on the website later on, eh? Good luck to everyone entering! 

There was also a Vintage Club blog post today acknowledging the Cooper stamp snafu, so Kingfisher is definitely a future web special. Can't wait to see what he is! Could we be getting our first decorator Bird of a Feather? I hope so!
