Double post today! There's been sooooo many reveals lately it's hard to keep up, so I decided to separate them into a unicorn post and a horse post. Today, Breyer made an electronic newsletter for Collector Club members. Is this a new thing or did I just not remember them doing this? Anyways, it had a sneak peek of the upcoming holiday decorator. If you read my previous post about the upcoming holidays, I mentioned this decorator. Typically it's a filigree, usually silver, although last year they made a blue filigree and this year it looks like they're going with what looks like rose gold. The only question is now what mold will it be on? It will be a lottery model, not available for outright purchase. There should be a holiday animal also coming up. These models are very limited so they will run on the higher end for pricing. And speaking of high end pricing, take a look at this test model, the bay roan Wixom! This lady, if you are the lucky person to win her, is $850 out of pocket. Really, that's not bad for a OOAK model considering that BF auction horses go for thousands of dollars... just ask the person who won that Alborozo at last year's BF and they'll tell ya! I do notice that a lot of the test models are some shade of roan. It seems like Breyer is trying hard to perfect roaning, one of the most difficult colors they could probably do outside of, say, brindling. I mean it's incredibly hard to get a roan to look realistic. Another possible web exclusive is a Pony for Christmas. Decked out in a shiny green blanket with red bow, he looks like a present himself. He also comes with a gift box with a ribbon tied around it, perfect for gifting. It's obvious he's a bay horse, but with that blanket over him, we have yet to find out if he's solid bay or pinto. It would be cool to remove the "present" blanket and find out he has some white markings underneath - but I'm probably dreaming.
Update: He actually does have minimal white underneath as well as some awesome dapples! I won't spoil the surprise much more than that for those who want to purchase him :) Comments are closed.
