The anticipation we've been waiting for is here! The 2022 mid years have been revealed. There are three traditionals this year and two new Mini Whinnies collections, one unicorn and the other horses. These guys will be listed for pre-ordering on my website on June 10th once my $5 stablemates flash sale is over. No word about a fall limited edition decorator, however since Anthem is being made for the rest of the year, we may not get one. This hasn't been confirmed but I just wanted to give a heads up to those who were asking. The first in the lineup is Battlefield Angel HP, a beautiful pinto Friesian Sport Horse stallion. The first regular run on the Vermeer mold, and a very nice one at that, I'm sure he'll be popular once he starts hitting the shelves being the flashiest of the mid years. Unfortunately, despite being a drafter, with this mold now being a mid year release means I don't think he'll be this year's surprise horse as many were hoping. I wanted to see a dapple grey on the Bristol mold for years now, and finally we got one in the form of Get Rowdy! He is a Dutch Warmblood eventer that is a must-have for Bristol congas. The bad news... I was considering Bristol as a possible surprise model for this year, being a warmblood, however I think this eliminates her from the lineup. I'm happy to see another Paso Fino added to the lineup, although admittedly Breyer really needs to upgrade the mold through the Premier Club. This is the only mold on the breed and it hasn't been updated since the 1970s. Anyways, despite being a bay, I'm actually looking forward to adding this guy to my own collection. His name is Vivaldi de Besuli and he reminds me of my own Paso Fino, Roberto. Breyer is making two new Mini Whinnies series. The first, which includes all horses, has two different chases: a blue and a red. Since I'm still trying to sell my last couple Mini Whinnies series, I won't be getting in any full boxes to sell on my website, however I may offer these individually after they're released. The Mini Whinnies Unicorn Surprise series 2 includes a rainbow chase and a holographic chase. I'm hoping this means we'll be seeing more holographic ponies in future, as the color is really growing on me. It seems like Breyer is going through with the mini Collector Club event that they do every year, this year being Ponies & Palm Trees. If you're lucky enough to live in Florida or can travel there, you can enter to go to this event, taking place in Wellington, Florida near Miami on November 11-13. Breyer did make a note that vaccination for COVID-19 is required for this event and vaccine cards will be checked. Please take this into consideration before entering. I will not be going due to using all my annual vacation time at work for Breyerfest, plus this part of Florida is still 16 hours away from us, but good luck to those that enter!
