I always post the retirement list every year, and for this year, I'm a bit shocked about a few on the list. Below is the extremely long list of horses that are going to be discontinued in a few short months. Please note that barns, riders, accessories and plush are NOT included on this list. Once IDYB posts a complete list, I will put a link to it on this post. For several, it's honestly an "about time" moment, like the traditional Shire, the Little Prince book set, and the rest of the Spirit Riding Free stuff. The Pocket Box dogs and cats are retiring too. The Unicorn Surprise makes sense, since they'll be seen again in their new Magic Stable, which will be available this fall (a little heads up if you were never able to obtain the whole set) and also due to the fact that they were out for quite a long time.
For others, I'm not surprised, like Fairfax from the Horse of the Year series that we get a new one of every year, and I'm assuming Orren Mixer is going to be part of a series (I'm also hoping that next year we get a more colorful horse like his flashy Paint or palomino) but the Stable Surprise stablemates, the Deluxe Collection stablemates, the Racing the Wind set, the Smooth Rider set, the birthday party gift set and the Sable Island pony... those I am surprised about. They were all 2020 new releases. I would hope with the retirement of the complete Classics singles and most of the stablemate sets, we'll be getting new ones next year. Us dealers won't know for sure what they plan on bringing out until later this year but you can bet I'll let y'all know who they are! Since I post the new release list on my website, people have asked if I could also post the yearly retired list so that they could get in any last minute orders. Here it is! All the horses listed below are going to be retired at the end of this year. TraditionalOther |
