While packages are supposed to start shipping out this week, I would like to take some time to discuss last minute guesses for the surprise horse. The big question is, who is the surprise model going to be? Jaime said her lips are sealed and provided no hint whatsoever. Stephanie, on the other hand, may have thrown us a couple hints. In one video she said that "SHE is on a mold that is well loved" and "not many colors were produced on". The announcement of "she" threw popular guesses Idocus, True North, Salinero and Totilas out the window. An assumption on social media was Justadream. People saw this picture on Breyer's page today... ...and immediately began to wonder if Breyer was secretly revealing the mold. As Justadream hasn't been used in a long time, and as she was a very popular mold back in her day, she fits the criteria to be the surprise, however I don't think Breyer would be so bold as to throw the surprise mold out there as a wolf in sheep's clothing, just like I don't think any of the live auction molds are the surprise either.
I think that, in order for us to get a good idea, we need to look back at the previous years and try to find some kind of pattern. I'm going to toss out the first ever Breyerfest surprise from 2009 only because it was a vintage mold (that apparently Breyer wasn't even planning on continuing until fans demanded its return) so we'll start with 2011: 2011 Spun Gold: Ethereal (released as a regular run in 2009 - 2 years between) Sculpted by Kathleen Moody Colors: palomino extended blanket appy, buckskin blanket appy, champagne, chestnut pinto 2012 Stoneleigh Surprise: Flash (ongoing regular run in 2012) Sculpted by Susan Carlton Sifton Colors: Leopard appy, bay pinto, mouse dun, silver bay 2013 CC Shuffle: Roxy (released as a regular run in 2011 - 2 years in between) Sculpted by Susan Carlton Sifton Colors (first time in glossy): Dapple grey, blue roan pinto, grullo pinto, chestnut blanket appy 2014 Pop the Cork: Nokota (last released as a regular run in 2011 - 3 years in between) Sculpted by Kathleen Moody Colors: Bay, palomino pinto, varnish roan appy, chestnut pinto 2015 Quelle Surprise: Lonesome Glory (ongoing regular run in 2015) Sculpted by Kitty Cantrell Colors: chestnut overo, buckskin pinto, dark bay semi-leopard appy, perlilno 2016 Samba Surprise: Esprit (released as a regular run in 2013 - 3 years in between) Sculpted by Kathleen Moody Colors: black overo, dun pinto, palomino, deco 2017 Bollywood Surprise: Latigo (released as a regular run in 2014 - 3 years in between) Sculpted by Sommer Prosser Colors: chestnut overo, grullo pintaloosa, bay pinto, buckskin 2018 Dark Horse Surprise: Smarty Jones (released as a regular run in 2014 - 4 years between) Sculpted by Susan Carlton Sifton Colors: bay pinto, leopard appy, palomino pinto, deco, rare black 2019 Hero's Welcome: Andalusian Stallion (released as a regular run in 2016 - 3 years between) Sculpted by Kathleen Moody Colors: chestnut pinto, dapple grey, rose grey, champagne, deco, rare leopard appy So it looks like the majority were regular runs at least three years before they became a surprise. Let's look at who was a regular run 3 years ago who hasn't been used as a Breyerfest special run yet this year or who hasn't been a surprise model yet: -Brighty (we shall include him though they've never used a non-horse before but he was on a T-shirt and is the only model unaccounted for since Bristol showed up in the live auction) -Geronimo -Forever Saige -Bobby Jo -Andalusian Mare -Silver -Smart Chic Olena -Marabella -Spirit -Rain -Boomerang -Icelandic -Carrick -Wixom -Idocus -Cleveland Bay -Giselle If the horse really is indeed a mare and not just Stephanie saying "she" as a general term, I'm going to say the best guess is Forever Saige or Giselle since they were both in last year's live auction, with Giselle slightly more so since she's a breed that fits the theme. Secretly though, I'm hoping none of these theories hold true and we'll see little Emma :) What do y'all think? What's your guess and why? 7/14/2020 08:14:46 pm
I really want party time! She hasn’t debuted in plastic yet... but she was the crystal last year. Something to consider.
