As this is my first year in the Premier Club, I'm a bit excited to have the welcome kit show up at my door, even though my mail carrier shoved it in the mailbox and ended up bending it. Ugh! Anyways, it contained the artist's sketch of Altynai that could possibly be framed, along with a sticker of Altynai (is this new or did they always do this?) and a welcome letter. So it's getting real now! I can't wait until Altynai becomes available for purchase in May!
I wanted to discuss a few things in the letter. Whereas Breyer released not only the artists but the actual breeds to be done last year, this year they are being very vague. For example, the letter says that the Lynn Fraley sculpt (who I'm assuming is going to be the second release) "has majestic presence and expression" which makes me feel as if it's going to be a standing - or portrait - sculpt. It also states that the coat color is "loud and proud" so I'm guessing the appy butt we saw as a sneak peek the last week of last year was for the Lynn Fraley release. Now something else I want to note is near the bottom it states that the stablemate will be a "frequently requested breed" and usually the stablemate is portrayed after the second release. I note too that they do not say horse anywhere in either of those two paragraphs, they just say "sculpt" so I'm wondering if the Fraley sculpt is going to be a mule? A leopard appaloosa spotted mule would be amazing! Would they actually do it though is the question, as they might get some negative marks from people who collect strictly horses, although they did use a mule for the Stablemates Club one year as a gambler's choice. We're in need of a new mule mold. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. For the Parks sculpt, which is the third release, they note that it will "make performance showers happy" so this one sounds indeed like an action pose. Going by her previous art and medallions, it'll probably be something with a long, wavy mane/tail like an Andalusian or an Arabian. There is no hint of color so I don't know what we're in for in that department. I'm excited for my first year in the Premier Club. I never thought I'd ever be part of it, and I can't wait for the exciting upcoming releases! Comments are closed.
