SDS Frogland Ferry

I have a post about commission openings scheduled to post tomorrow morning (if I've done it correctly.)  It's not a very "fun" read, per se, but it should offer some good info for those looking to book slots with me this spring! 💜

Equiden and AJ both said that they would be interested in seeing some of the new faces in the herd, so here we go with installment number one!

This is a (gorgeous) copy of buckskin Outlaw on the Buckshot mold. He was a vintage club run in 2024 and was limited to approximately 333 pieces.

This guy is a pretty cool member of my herd, due to what an amazing bargain he was lol. I actually wasn't searching for an Outlaw at all when I found him, but I couldn't turn him down for $40 with free shipping!!

His owner was thinning the herd and had him marked down significantly due to a wobbly front foot. A penny solves that problem pretty nicely.

⬆️This angle of him always makes me think of this meme LOL⬇️

His show name is "SDS Frogland Ferry", inspired by Over the Garden Wall™️. 

(We will not be discussing my taste in comfort shows. Nostalgia is a heck of a good medicine lol.)

I currently have him as a Chincoteague Pony, but I'm not totally satisfied with that assignment. I'm happy to hear your breed suggestions in the comments!

Sorta Kinda New Releases

This weekend I was sifting through some photos on the new releases for the clubs and BF, and I decided a late post was better than none.

Vail! Our winter 2023 Deco. Run of 1000 pieces at a price of $185 (if you get lucky enough to be drawn).

Athenian Lady! Our BF celebration model for next year. I love the real mare, and the model is stunning. I wish they had added mapping on the nose (they proved with Adamek that that was possible), but she's pretty without too. 

Kirk! 2024 Vintage club piece, a glossy dapple grey nightlight. I think this piece is really stellar, and I'm tickled to see the concept on a modern mold. I won't be joining the club, but I know for a fact he will be popular among those who do.

Tigerlily and Firestorm! What a beautiful pair. Again, I won't be buying these, but I look forward to seeing their future colors. The foal's mold isn't really doing it for me, but I think the mare ill be very nice next to the True North mold (or the Cantering Warmblood Traditional. Or whatever we're calling him now).

Augustus! He is the new sculpt for the 2024 SM Club. I love him! So chubby! I won't join the club for him, and I probably won't buy him on the secondary, (unless I find one near to cost, and that won't happen), but I am so so excited for his first RR of BF release! Squeeee! So cute!!

The Swirls and Snowflakes, Christmas SMs! So cute, but nothing I need. They will be available to CC members tomorrow afternoon at 1pm.

Alrighty, I think that's it. :) Fingers crossed for some new BF information soon! I can hardly wait.

Leprechauns and Glossy Jig-Dancers (Plus a couple other bits of Breyer news)

 Yesterday, Breyer dropped two new models on the website yesterday, Bolero and Go Figure, plus a St. Patty's Day plush.

I think all the world's flippers were expecting Bolero to be an under an hour sell-out, but I think he was in stock until late last night. He is sold out now. For curious parties, his retail price was set at $75 (+shipping and taxes).

Bolero

I really liked him, but the gloss was a bit of a turn-off for me, so I passed. It does seem like it has been a bit since we had a glossy solid bay (or I could just be forgetting our last one), so I'm glad they did it for the shiny lovers. I do not have any models on the Fireheart mold (Trad or SM), so hopefully the next run will be a nice, obtainable, matte boy. :)

Go Figure is the first Vintage club model for 2023. I thought this was supposed to be the music box Fury Prancer, but apparently he has experienced a set-back (go figure LOL). Breyer said that this is the first time in history that the Justin Morgan mold has seen anything but a solid coat. From Breyer:

"Chris Hess’s Justin Morgan (mold #65) was both the second Breyer Morgan mold, and the second model based on the work of Marguerite Henry. In spite of his runner-up status, his good looks and pleasant demeanor won him many fans, and his original Bay release was a steadfast member of the Breyer line throughout the 1970s and 1980s.

Never one to steal the limelight, most of Justin Morgan’s subsequent releases have been almost as plainly dressed as the first. For his Vintage Club release Go Figure – and to celebrate his fiftieth anniversary – we’ve decided to remedy that by giving him a very modern makeover in Silver Bay Pinto."

Go Figure

Interesting! I love the color, and I think it would be to die for on the Rhian mold (please Breyer!). 

I almost forgot, here's Kelly O'Breyer:

While Breyer's plush are certainly not my pinch of dragon dust, I can see this guy being more popular that some. I think his collar/necktie/whatever-it-is is a cute touch. :)

Last but not least, we have some excited (more true to life) photos of the Breyer SRs and LEs!

These were on the BF Blog yesterday (under the VIP post).

Yummy! Look at those little lovelies! I'm loving Wells, I'm sure it is just a prototype, but his color looks like artist pastel!

I have to wonder, I don't see Buggy in the top photo? Am I blind, or is he not here?? I was really looking forward to his first (nearly) in-hand style photo! I hope they take one with him in it soon.

That's all for today! I'm hoping to have some photos of the resins before long here, they are nearly complete! I did a ton of work on the last night, and I'm quite pleased with them. :) Maybe first of next week.
