I can not wait for next year's Breyerfest. It's only been a little over a week and I'm already planning for it for next year. After spending nearly all our savings at this year's Breyerfest, I was greatly surprised when my husband bought me Seamus. Our flagship dealer finally put him out. He was limited to only 3,000 pieces and looked almost exactly like my husband's Spotted Drafter, Sunny, so I had been wanting him for a while. Later, I found out that my local Walmart just got in a brand new box of Mini Whinnies. Out of a spur of the moment decision I decided to take my chance on the green chaser, Emerald. Apparently nobody had rummaged through the box yet, even though the Unicorn Surprise box next to it had all the bags ripped open, because I managed to find the mystery horse! I'm super excited to own this little guy! I actually had been casually searching for her at various Walmarts in our area but never found a complete box. I'm also going to keep the twin foals from the set but I'll probably end up reselling the others. With babies in the house, I just don't like to keep Mini Whinnies because of the possibility of them being choking hazards, but I've put these guys up in a safe spot and plan on making them a part of my permanent collection. Finally I'd like to welcome Coral and Reef. As of right now, I can't afford to join either the Vintage or Premier Club so I rely upon the second hand market to get any of those models. I scored a Forever Siege model once for only $130 and this time I ended up getting Coral and Reef for a really good deal. I loved this set because the four eyed Misty pattern was used for the mare. The colt was a mirror image of the original Stormy, which I have, but in bay instead of chestnut. I also like how the colored portion is oversprayed into the white areas, making them look like they have a bit of mapping as well. Not sure if this was intentional or just a coincidence but I kind of like it. Oh, and for those of you who are wondering... I have started on Halloween customs! I'm going to be using the Horsemen of the Apocalypse theme this year. I will be putting a stablemates set on eBay within the next couple days with Conquest, War, Famine and Death for you to add to your collection! These will be unique OOAK horses hand painted in acrylics with glow-in-the-dark paint... always a fan favorite! I will be doing traditional sizes of each of the four horsemen too to be sold individually but they will naturally take a bit longer. I will definitely have them up before October though! Traditional "Death" is already completed. I'm working on Famine now. Be sure to check them out!
