While Breyer has been on their appaloosa fix this year, I couldn't help but be taken in by it. I have decided to add Lil Ricky Rocker to my collection after seeing him in person when he came in one of my dealer orders as a special order for someone. I didn't know Breyer he was pearly! The original Lil Ricky Rocker models that my local dealer had when he first came out didn't look like they had any pearling, it just looked like bare plastic and the spots were smeared. Breyer has really stepped up their game with this guy, as the horse I was sent from them was a nice specimen. He has so much pearling, you can actually see it in the photos. He also has very minimal smudging on his spots. Speaking of appaloosas, I've decided to try my hand at making leopard appaloosas in acrylics since I've just finished up all my Halloween stablemates for the year, and which have been posted on eBay if anyone's interested. I am in the process of painting a traditional Halloween horse which will probably be available in September sometime, as well as a couple unicorn mini whinnies, which will be turned into skeleton horses and available sometime this week. Actually the appys are not turning out too bad! They are still in the works but here is what 2 of the 3 look like so far: I have several more stablemates bodies to keep me busy, and if I can't sell my regular run stablemates, I will customize those as well, as I need the shelf space. I've decided to downsize on my stablemate collection, keeping only the rare stablemates. Those itty bitty guys are like potato chips... they're so cheap you go to get just one and end up bringing home ten, then before you know it, you have hundreds. I really have no control when it comes to these guys, but I truly need to start.
