OOAKS and More!

 Trying to somewhat keep up with news this time~

Look how cute these two test models are! You can never go wrong with a black tobiano. Makes me think about adding a (different) Midnight Tango to my herd, lol.

We also got a sneak peek in the Collector Club Newsletter! Super helpful image, thanks Breyer. Really interested in seeing who it will be, though! :)

We also got a nice look at Horatio, the Deluxe CC Stablemate! My goodness, he is adorable! I can't wait to get mine. 💜

One last note- Breyerfest tickets are now available to purchase! 🎉

2024 Stablemates Club Releases

I'm officially joining the club for next year! They managed to lure me in with all these fancy ponies. 

Augustus

What an absolute unit. This one looks to be the artist's copy. Wonder what the 'real' factory paintjob will look like. Hopefully similar enough! He looks really nice in this photo.

Lanin

I love a good roached mane! A FCM of the Mirado mold. His pinto pattern is very striking, too. 

Wallowa (Matte/Glossy Split)

This mold hasn't been used in ~25 years! It's making a very flashy comeback. I'll likely be selling my copy, as it just isn't my cup of tea. Can't put my finger on why, though. 😅

Newport

Another FCM! On the Running TB mold. I really like this one. Will be a very welcome to my collection!

Dylan

Here's a cute little Anamar lookalike! Not sure how I feel about the masked dapples, but she(?)'s still a lovely looking model.

Miguel

So cute! I like the two on the left side the best. The zonkey is really cute, though!

Hadley and Holden (One of Two Foals Randomly Shipped)

The Cassidy looks so much like the mare I ride! That mold looks *really* nice in a dun coloring. The foals look awesome too. The laying one if my favorite of the two, I think!

Breyer seems to be leaning more and more into factory customizations of current molds! I like it. Gives a lot more variety. I'm excited to see all these guys in person! Definitely will boost the numbers in the SM herd, lol!

Wassail Revealed

The 'coal' variation had 24 pieces total made. The rest were 650 made of each color.

Glad I passed, honestly. (Yes, I'm still a bit salty on the photo situation.)

Seeing some nice in hand photos, though! 

A Piebald Delight

Breyer released another model in the Animal Series! I'm pretty excited about this one.

LE 1,000

Garret, a piebald deer! The white-tailed deer mold hasn't been used in quite a while, so it's nice to see it make an appearance again. He is priced at $135.00 plus shipping. 

Very tempting to buy, especially since I fairly recently saw a piebald while on vacation. That's the only one I've ever seen in person before, and he was only about 30 feet away! I've seen plenty of white ones around my house though, which I find very interesting. :)

Winterfest also started today, and it looks like the exclusives have yet to sell out!

More Holiday Releases

Hard to keep up with these, lol!

First Up, we have Vail, our annual Winter Decorator.

LE of 1,000 - priced at $185

Another gorgeous blue filigree! He's gonna be a popular one, like most of the Winter Decos. :)

Our holiday blind bags! "Swirls 'n Snowflakes"-

Ugh, I really wish the blue one's pattern didn't get cut in half. Why Breyer, why?

Easy pass for me. Although, I still think they're quite pretty. I probably would have tried for the blue one, if it weren't for the pattern issue. Easy enough to make my own, though. 💜

So Much News!

We're in a busy patch for news, it seems!

Lots of exciting club model reveals!

The new sculpt for the '23 Stablemates Club has now officially been revealed! Brio, a beautiful buckskin tobiano pinto.

Another new sculpture has been revealed- but for the 2024 SM Club!

Augustus, sculpted by Sarah Minkiewicz-Breunig. I'm thrilled to see another chonky drafter in the stablemates lineup! Can't wait to customize one. 

Breyer is mixing it up for Premier Club, with another mare and foal release for 2024! Say hello to Tigerlily and Firestorm!

I am crazy excited for that mare. The sculpt has so much expression, I love it!

This pair was designed to go with Fireheart, which is very cool. :D

We *also* get a Breyerfest Celebration model reveal next week, according to Breyer! 👀

I Neeeeeed!

The final Premier Club model(s!) have been revealed! And they’re soooo nice! 😍

I gotta find the pair second hand sometime, because they are both so fabulous. A sooty buckskin tobiano with cat tracks has my name written all over it. 😂

The baby is adorable too. The color is so-so for me, but, the sculpt is very cute.

They seem to be a very nice size, too! I was worried they'd be tiny.

In related news, Akila is a 50/50 matte/glossy split, and will be shipped in Rhiannon and Rhemi's box.

News!!!

I know a lot of collectors are excited for this! Behold:

2024's first Collector Club Special, Heath!

Oh-my-goodness. I need him. Probably my favorite obtainable Othello release thus far. I don't normally like drafts. I don't normally like roany OFs. But this guy? He is awesome! But wait, there's more!-

Breyer shrunk the mold! And Deluxe CC Members for next year will get a mini Othello! In Heath's pattern, too!

I'm not sure of his name, but he sure is adorable! :D
The Deluxe Club sure is looking tempting...
