This One's Gonna Be Popular...

Breyer decided to surprise us with the last Limited Edition reveal!

He is, as you can tell, not a decorator. Unlike past year's stablemates. 

His name is Buggy. He sure is handsome! I will absolutely be buying him. Maybe even multiple, since he's probably going to have some color variation. Either way, he'll be the third member of my other Djangos- so I'll officially have a conga!

Studebaker!

She's gorgeous, but nothing I need. I don't collect that mold. She's going to be popular for sure though! What a lovely color! 😍

According to the Breyerfest Blog, there's only one more LE reveal left! Presumably a decorator stablemate.



We also got as sneak peek from the Collector Club Newsletter. It's a plush!



Most likely going to be a leprechaun inspired horse. Very... interesting. Even though there's no chance that I'm going to be buying him, I'm still excited to see the full reveal!

A Minor Update

Bravour 54 got a sash!


Huh. Not too sure why the decided to do that, but it's cute nonetheless! Maybe all the celebration horses will have one from now on?



In other news, the plush was revealed today!

He's cute, but I don't collect the plushies. I love the colors though! :)

Ooo, Shiny!

Well, these guys are right up my alley.


First up, we have the Breyerfest reveals!

The crystal was revealed yesterday.

Phaeton, on the Calliope mold. Heh, very similar name to one of my show models.
I really like him! He has a decent chance of coming home with me.


Today, we got to see the Best of Breyerfest Stablemate set!

Man, these guys are cool. I love all of them except for the mini Georg. They're definitely going to be added to my collection!





We also got the first test model of 2023. 

She's cute, but thankfully nothing I need. Which is awesome, because I couldn't imaging forking over the $1,000 for her. Good luck to those who enter!

A Sigh Of Relief

Othello will NOT be our surprise horse! 🥳



Instead, she (yes, you read that right) will be used as a Limited Edition! FVA's Grand Design, aka Tilly!
This is the first time that Othello will be used as a mare. I think she's gorgeous. Probably not enough to buy her though.

Future Customizing Plans!

I recently discovered a long forgotten box of Stablemate bodies, and I'm already coming up with ideas.


(I will be using photos from Identify Your Breyer, so major credit to them!)

First off, and probably most ambitious, a repositioned Rivet!

Repositioned Rivet Model In Drafting Stage , Rolling Position

He will turn into a rolling gelding. Feel free to suggest some colors/patterns for me to paint him!
I'm going to be buying some Magic Sculpt just for this project. My first time having anything to do with sculpting, which should be fun!


Next, I'm going to be painting a Gypsy Vanner. He's most likely going to be a seal bay tobiano, but I'll probably change my mind before I actually start working on him. ;)

For the rest of the models, I'm not quite sure of what specific colors to paint them.
Maybe a racehorse portrait of some sort for the thoroughbred? Let me know in the comments what you'd like to see! 😁

The Last Melon

 Our Final Special Run has been revealed!


Say hello to Scurry!
She's adorable, I love her. Easily one of my favorite SRs for this year. Her shading looks fantastic!

VIP and All-Access ticket holders will have the opportunity to purchase her.





I wanted to give a shoutout to the lovely Crescent Cove Discord server. I've found this community very enjoyable, and most importantly, positive. It's a friendly PG-13 community.





The server has so much to offer! There's space to talk about virtually all aspects of the hobby. From customizing, to showing!

There are also contests and events! This is today's:

The challenge was to create the ranking within 15 minutes of the last SR being revealed. Boy was it close, only a few minutes to spare. Here's a blank one if you're interested:


I'd love to see your SR preference list! Feel free to share in the comments.


If you've never used Discord before, no worries! There's a Discord 101 channel on the server to help you out. Members will be happy to help as well. Tell them Equiden sent you! :)

First Lottery Model of the Year

Flamingo!

She's gorgeous! The mold looks lovely in that color. Nothing I need though. I'm saving up for a nice Stone ISH, *if* one ever comes up for sale.

This reminds me- I need to renew my Collector Club membership. 😅

A Unique Sport

Jump & Drive!

I've never heard of this sport before, boy is it cool! It combines showjumping with driving, in a relay type event. You can find a video of it here. :)

I'm a little unsure of the model itself. If he didn't have the white markings, I'd be all over him. That buckskin color looks so rich! He's probably going to grow on me over time.

He is available to VIP and All-Access ticket holders.

Uh Oh...

Not good. I was secretly hoping that Shannondell would be the surprise model so I wouldn't have to buy it, but Breyer just had to tamper with my plans. 🙄

Meet Wells! His color is to die for, but I'm not a huge fan of the sculpt. The legs just look wrong to me, and I'm unable to get over that. Both in person and Online Traditional Access ticket holders will have the opportunity to purchase him.

He's definitely going to be popular for sure!



Once we get all of the reveals, I'm going to be making a chart to help keep track of which models are available to all the different ticket holders. It is desperately needed lol.

Colorful Breyerfest Reveals

 The Traditional and Classic decorators have been unveiled!


Delft!

Hmm, not too sure about this guy. The color isn't doing it for me, but I absolutely love the horse and buggy design. It looks so detailed!




Nemea, our Special Run decorator!

I'd love him a lot more if his mane wasn't bright red. He's really cool though!

He is only available to in person VIP and All Access ticket holders.

There was a test model for him at Breyerfest 2018, done on the Marwari mold. I actually prefer the design on this sculpt- it suits him a little better.

The Stagecoach Surprise!

Breyer revealed the name and logo of the surprise for this year:



Well, that didn't give us many clues. The only info that I gather from the name, is that it won't be a pony type mold.

Wyatt, Ruffian, Wixom, and Shannondell are my top surprise predictions right now, but I'm sure that will change.

What are your guesses for the surprise model?




We also got an exciting reveal yesterday. HD Harkness, a limited edition!


Oh boy, I love this guy! I do wonder though, if his white marking/hoof will look like that on the actual release. It looks too good to be true for a mass-produced model.

He is available to all ticket holders.

A Very Surprising Breyerfest Reveal!

Well, this wasn't supposed to be the mare and foal year but...


Say hello to Surry and Axel!
Huh, Breyer really threw us for a loop with these guys. I was really thinking they would be a pair of ponies. Is the mare and foal alternating pattern a thing of the past now?
Anyways, I absolutely adore the foal- but I'm not too sure about the mare. I think something about the color is throwing me off.
This pair will be available to Online Traditional Access ticket holders.



There was another adorable reveal yesterday, on the popular Brighty mold.


Peanutine, named after an obscure treat from Maine. He's cute, but nothing that I really need. 
He is not available to Online Traditional Access ticket holders.

Another SR Reveal!

Araba!





Eh, the color is okay, but you viewers know that I have a severe dislike for the Zafirah mold. I feel like the pattern would look fantastic on a different sculpt though. 

She will be available to Online Traditional Access ticket holders, unlike Speos.

Introduction!

  Welcome to my blog! This will be my first post, so I wanted to share a little about me :) I mainly collect Breyers and Stones. 1:9 and 1:...
