Right on time, the Collector Club newsletter for August was sent to emails. As per usual it contained an article about a blast from the past (this time it was about clearware history) and the featured collector story - which I personally love to read as I find it interesting how people got into the hobby - they also had their monthly giveaway. This time, however, it was a bit more spectacular than a regular run: I actually almost won this fiery boy on an online auction once, only to be outbid in the last few seconds, and regretted it ever since. I would love to own him one day, and wouldn't mind having my name pulled (just once?) for this beauty. Normally I don't mind clearware decorators, but this is an exception. I think that flaming mane and tail would look brilliant in the sun! The newsletter also contained the most exciting part... an upcoming sneak peek. When I first saw this picture, I'll admit the first thing that came to mind was the third Premier Club release because it looks like a bay splash pattern. I also wasn't familiar with that neck pattern. Remember that appy sneak peek that everyone thought would be the Premier Club horse and turned out to actually be a lottery model? Yeah, Breyer is messing with us LOL. Someone on social media however figured it out... it was the Andalusian Foal. Since I've never owned that mold before, that explains why I didn't recognize it. The description next to the picture said that September will be "an excellent month for new releases" and that this model would be available "exclusively for Collector Club members" so me thinks it's the fall special run for the Collector Club, the one usually revealed at Breyerfest. Since, however, Breyerfest was virtual, we didn't get a chance to see it. I also think they wanted to keep this one a surprise because if it is the Andalusian Foal like speculated, it will most likely be a mare/foal set. This would be the first time ever a mare and foal pair were made as a Collector Club special run, however it isn't out of the realm of possibility for Breyer to change it up a bit, especially this year with all their awesome releases.
I know a few upcoming releases that have recently leaked out are the Tractors Supply horses for 2020. There is a black pinto Emerson named Eclipse (no relation to the Thoroughbred), a dunalino on the Boomerang mold named Salidago and a bay appaloosa Marabella named Lapwai. In addition to the traditionals, there will be a light grey Classics drafter on the new Mighty Muscle mold that comes with a TSC blanket. The only photo I could find was a very blurry photo on social media, so I don't really have any good pictures to show right now, but you can bet I will update as soon as I do :) Let the beginning of the holiday releases commence!
