Merry Christmas to all my readers! So lots of people were waiting for the second of the year's gambler's choice to be released. After Scotty and then Calvin were released last year, both Classics sized gambler's choices, followed up by Calahan this year, we all waited for another gambler's choice to be offered. Well on December 1st Breyer released the new Fruitcake Fillies! Surprised? I sure am. Not only are they stablemates rather than Classics, they are all holiday related decorators rather than just two regular horse colors and one decorator, like in the past. A new tradition maybe? I'd sure like to see more in the future for those who can't afford the traditional sized holiday horse released to Collector Club members on Christmas day. They were limited to 2000 total pieces, with only 500 of each color. Santa Surprise was the Christmas day special for 2018. It included a gambler's choice between one of three different colors of unicorns, with the possibility of being 1 in 12 people to receive a glossy coal black donkey, appropriately named Coal. Unicorn colors included green, blue and gold. They were limited to 350 of each color. Were you naughty or nice this year? The last of the raffle models in the Collector Club for the year, meet Hawthorne the pig. He was released as a raffle model for the Collector Club. He is painted in Breyer's popular vintage woodgrain color. He was $125 postage paid. Considering that Breyer only made a handful of pigs and only two were available as regular runs, this is actually a good price. The 2019 Holiday horse will be Minstrel who looks like he's going to be a silver bay! He is on the Loping Quarter Horse (aka Latigo) mold. This was a sneak peek photo of what he will look like.
