Breyer has released their Classics Halloween horse for Friday the 13th early to Collector Club members, along with the adorable stablemates from the Collector Club tent at Breyerfest. If these horses are available after then they will be offered to everyone who visits their website as web specials. However, the Fruitcake Fillies sold out before they were even offered to the public, and I'm expecting the Spooky Surprise stablemates to do the same so this is one of the perks of being a CC member. This is Classics sized Salem who sports the "purrfect" combination of paint and pattern. He is a grullo with a spooky cat pinto design with paw print shaped spots, a purple pearly sheen and the white areas glow in the dark. I have to say that Breyer really surprised us for this one who is, in my personal opinion, the best Classics Halloween custom they've done. Bad for my wallet though, as I had to have Salem after already just buying Samhain, who is now sold out. The stablemates sized horses are called the Spooky Surprise collection and they include a gambler's choice of either Calavera, Ichabod or Bats in the Belfry in miniature. When I saw these at Breyerfest, I wanted them, but after seeing their price tag and due to the fact that Breyer is just releasing too many darn things I want this year, I decided to forego them. If you'd like to purchase my two (they were limited to 2 per order) I do have them available on eBay. Last but not least, the Halloween customs that I have made for this year are already hitting the shelves! I've made the Horsemen of the Apocalypse my series this year. I've made four "horsemen" in stablemates size, all are completed, and two have already been sold. As traditional horses take so much time to do (I've actually been working on "Death" since last fall) I will only be customizing two this year. "Death" is on the Thoroughbred Mare mold - one of my favorite vintage molds - because she has to be old if she's dead, right? The other horse "Famine" is on the Desatado mold and was just finished. I predicted him to be done by September, and was correct. He is probably one of my best customs to date so stop by my Halloween customs page and check him out! I also have a test run that I was going to use for "Death" on the stablemates series but I decided to use a different mold instead. He will be offered on eBay as well. Finally, I've also customized two Mini Whinnies foals, my first Mini Whinnies customs ever, in my most popular glow-in-the-dark skeleton designs. If you would like a sample of my work but can't afford the more expensive customs, the Mini Whinnies are perfect for all budgets! If they sell well, I will make more ;) If you're interested in any of my customs, feel free to check them out on eBay. I'm trying to save up for the upcoming holidays, which admittedly is hard with five children to buy gifts for, so I often sell my customs this time of the year to help out. I'm hoping to take advantage of the CC Appreciation deal this year. I missed the last few years because there wasn't enough RRs that I wanted, but this year they've released quite a few that I would like to add to my collection. With so many good horses they've come out with this year, my wallet isn't too happy with me LOL!
