BreyerFest Friday (SPOILERS BIG TIME!)

Before we begin - THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TEN THOUSAND VIEWS!! You guys are the best! Not to mention, it lined up so we hit it on my birthday yesterday! What a fun coincidence. :)

SPOILER ALERT COMING!!!

I hope you all are enjoying BF! I know I am. I've filled a full page in a notebook with little odds and ends to remember to share with you all. I know some of you aren't participating and don't have social media, so I want to share some highlights of the day. If you already know this stuff, bear with me. There is a new herd member announcement at the end!

This is just random bullet point type info, because I'm too jacked up on BF energy to compose it in any other way. It's going straight from my notebook to this post. 😁

Note: HUGE thanks to Equiden, for faithfully forwarding me photos that were posted on Discord today! Thank you so much!

• Jump and Drive is the mane split
• Scurry has a variation of a perlino (??) coloring
• Wells is 50% glossy (😭)
• Speos has a colorshift variation
• Araba has a strawberry roan-ish looking color split
• Peanutine has a variation that makes him look darker, can't tell if it's deco, or black, or darker bay, or what exactly
• Surrey and Axle sometimes has the foal on the Action Stock Horse Mold
• Buggy has a color split of perlino with pink shimmer
• Studebaker has a color split of metallic blue and purple
• Studebaker is a mare, even though Jamie and Kimberley keep saying "he"
• Surprise Horse is . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . HAMILTON! So far he's been spotted in strawberry roan overo, greenish metallic, black tobiano, buckskin tobiano, chestnut, and grey.

Jamie said that this year's opening crowd was the biggest she's seen in twelve years! 

I was able to get all of what I wanted from the shop this morning, and was delighted to see I was assigned Wells, my SR of choice. You can expect to see a big "BF Haul" post coming later! For now, I will announce my new herd member, "SDS Just a Willow Bit" AKA Willow. I will do a full post later, but I just wanted to mention her here first!

Have an awesome rest of the day folks!

2023 NEW RELEASES!!

 Sorry, I didn't mean to do a disappearing act! I was crazy busy this week, and was mostly offline (only logging on for essentials like email and messages, and a couple Christmas emergencies 😉). There will be at least two new arrival posts, I'm just waiting on getting perfect photos of them. 🙃

Anywhoo, Breyer's 2023 RR line is released! I was able to view the catalog during the brief time it was available online (now anywhere you find the link it asks for a log in pass code). I tried to hit all the new stuff in this post. Photos are screenshots of the catalog, so my apologies for the low quality!

Traditional:

I love these two! I will be tracking them down eventually.

Handsome dude! I love those lightning socks.

While not my favorite, this is a very nice commemorative release for Secretariat. I like the little resin.

Such a cutie! I think the mold may need a rest, it's been so many barrel horses in the last 3 years.

Here, I must again lament the noodle legged-ness of this mare. If she just had nicer forelegs, I would be all over her! But those legs are hard to get by. Really pretty color though!

I'm in love, I'm in love, and I don't care who knows it! I really, really need this mare. She will be a welcome addition to the Spotted Dreams herd. I've wanted this color in a RR since Astrid came out in the PC!

Classic:

TOLD YA! They were real! I'm am so gonna need that Malik. The ASB is tempting (he looks just like the 70th Anniv. Hamilton) but I won't be getting him. The TB looks like Snowman, but the drafter is lovely!

Nice new unicorn.

New mare and foal, and the "TSC" mustangs will be sold after Christmas as well.

This one is cute, even for a deco. I certainly won't be getting it, but it is very adorable. Nice mold choice.

New buttermilk boy! Cute, but once again, not one I need. Poor pony, his rider is ginormous on him!

Stablemate:

That mare in the lower right looks like a re-release of this one (2018 Mystery Foal Surprise Family 12).

This makes me happy! I want at least two of that Clydesdale, one to keep OF and one to paint. I like that SCO, ant that MFT. I'm undecided on the Darley.

Joy, joy, joy! A new and delightful hunk of baby Fireheart! I want him. Many of him. Lots of him. So many customizing ideas!

Mini Whinnies:

I think there was a new BB series of MW too, but I didn't screenshot it in time. Darn those box barns! Gone are the days of fondling bags.

Other Stuff:

 I just thought this page was interesting. This is "swag" for your brick and mortar store.

BF Reveals Pt. 2

 Here are some more reveal recaps. Sorry for the long absence, I was sick for most of January (nothing serious).

Black Forest:

Really nice concept, I just feel like he's lacking detail. I do like the mold though, I have Triton and the RR Grey Dapple.

Best of BreyerFest SM Set:

Ahhhh! I love them this year! I won't be getting them from BF, but I will be hunting down the CWB and *maybe* the Croi. I don't collect glossies, but that yummy bay is SO tempting...

Brahms:

Oooh! Me likey. Nice color, nice mold, lots of breed options... but alas. He is glossy. No Brahms for me.

Chablis:

HUNK!! I so need him. I MUST HAVE HIM! I love those dapples, and the bay, and his markings and hoof stripes!

Chardonnay:

No. Looks way too much like Avatar's Jazzman, and Midas for that matter. I like the real horse though!

Franz:

Ew. Nasty. I don't do deco. I don't do the Spirit mold. I don't do that shade of blue. I don't do Franz. Nuf said.

Rapunzel:

Oooh! Pretty! I love the new mane! I will wait to acquire one until they release one in bay. (Boy, by this post you'd think my favorite color was bay! Lol, it's not, but I do like the way Breyer does it.)

Rhennish Draft:

Poor fellow. He doesn't have a name. I love the mold and the idea, but the execution is lacking. He looks like bare plastic imo. He'll look better in person I'm sure.

Strudel:

Cute! I like him, but I don't collect stuffies. By far the best one Breyer's done though!

Toriline:

Yuck! Mold fatigue!! And I don't like soccer. No thanks Breyer!

Wittlesbach:

Okay. What happened? I feel like we've met before. Oh yeah! The failed SR Newmarket. No, no, and no from me.

More updates are coming, hopefully on a more regular basis. 😁🙌
