Captured Butterflies

Wow, sorry guys! I did not realize it had been 5 days. I guess nothing much has been happening- until today. . .

I managed to score a Mariposa and Flor! I have a set on pre-order (no money has been exchanged yet) from Hobby and Toy Central in Canada, but I received an email from a different shop today. This one was in Texas (Charlotte's Saddlery). I had emailed them back in January(?) asking for them to contact me when their shipment arrived, and they were awesome enough to do so! I managed to snag their last set. I will still buy the set from Canada (because I gave my word) and then choose which I like best and sell the other. :) Big thanks to both stores! Charlotte's Saddlery will be shipping mine tomorrow morning, so it will probably be less than a week before I have them to photograph and review.

In other news,  Breyer announced this pretty pair as a fundraiser for the Beebe Ranch, you can bid here or donate directly here. As of this writing, they are up to $7,100. Here's hoping they go over 10K!

That's all I got for today; keep your eyes open in the coming weeks for a new blog collab coming! 👀 It ought to be lots of fun. :)

2022 RRs

 They're out! And they are all really nice this year.

In this post I'm only going to talk about the Traditional 2022 Regular Runs, no Holiday models or SMs/Classics/CollectAs.

All photos in this post are Breyer Stock Images.

MorganQuest Native Sun:

I really like this guy. Troubadour is one of the molds I conga, so he is a definite must for me. And he's a reiner. Reining is my thing, so a reiner on Troubadour? Yes please!!!

Adamek:

Ooooh!! I like him! I got Uffington this last BF, and I really like the mold. He is a shelf hog though. I was actually just thinking to myself how nice he would be in blood bay. He is gonna be joining the herd soon I suspect. ;)

Blazing Kansas and Blazing Ethel:

Another need. I conga Rhian. I hate the name though! Blazing Ethel, really Breyer? Ew. Use her barn name. Her color is a little blah, but like I said, I conga the mold, so I will be needing her. Maybe for CCA next year. 

Ideal Series:

Not gonna lie, he looks cheap. Dapples would have improved him. Or a bigger facial marking. But I get that they had to keep it the same as the painting. I won't be getting him. I have the chestnut though. He was A+.

Sjoerd:

He's nice. I like him. But I don't need him. I look forward to his in-hands, as I hear he has a satin finish in person.

Phantom and Misty:

Okay. But just Okay. Black makes Misty look weird. Baby is cute though! This tribute to Phantom was desperately needed.

That's all I got for now. Holiday recap later! And the other scales.
