Washington is here!

 Greetings, readers! Good news - my Washington has arrived! Check him out:

















Sorry for the slightly-out-of-focus photo. But isn't he pretty? 

















Such a luscious blue color. He looks very similar to the blue Lancelot and the blue Dahlia from the 2021 Stablemates Club. Honestly, this guy could easily pass for a Breyerfest auction model. I love him! 





















So majestic! But blue is my favorite color, so I may be biased.





















Quality-wise he's pretty good, other than some smeared spot edges. Someone on Blab mentioned his markings look like cherry blossoms blowing off a tree, which I think is fitting! What a beauty. 

I've also been informed that my dealer's Mariposa and Flor sets are supposed to arrive next week, so hopefully my set will get here the week after that. Can't wait to see them!

Finally, something new to reveal!

 Good news, everyone - Breyer's spring releases were revealed today! Only a couple of hours after I broke down and preordered Spectre, this year's Halloween Horse (which we've already seen), this beauty was revealed by Breyer! 









Say hello to Washington! Presumably he's this year's patriotic release, like Patriot, Illumination, etc? I'm...not really seeing anything with this design that actually makes me think of George Washington, but who cares? He's beautiful! I also didn't anticipate Breyer using him again in another blue release so soon after Magpie, but it does make sense that he'd get another release at some point - if the mold is already in production for one thing, might as well run a few hundred (or thousand) extra bodies and do another release later. The same goes for our other reveal for today...









That's right - a rerelease of Carltonlima Emma, presumably in honor of the Queen's passing. But the mold is, or will be, already in production for the Scurry release for this year's Breyerfest, so it makes sense to keep it in production for another Emma run. 

I'm undecided as to whether I want to buy this one since I already have the original one, but it does come with that ribbon, so I'll probably pick one up at some point. 

Lastly, we have a new plushie release - and it's a mare and foal, for the first time! Check them out: 









Nothing I need, but they sure are cute! Pick up a set here. 

That's all I have for today - let's hope we get some more exciting stuff happening tomorrow! The month is almost over and we still haven't seen the next Stablemates Club release, along with Shelby and maybe the next Vintage Club model? Who knows.
