My partial order of 2021 regular runs did show up today as scheduled! Surprisingly I didn't even know they were coming, as I didn't receive a tracking number but five oversized boxes were waiting for me: The Pintos and Palominos set are lovely. The palomino Darley has various shades (some very orange, others more yellow) but the others are pretty much the same in all sets. The cremello is really unique, the sooty palomino is very attractive and the color on Darwin is the first on the mold that I've actually liked! The Unicorn Treasures are very beautiful. I especially love Topaz the dark blue. Reminds me of the blue Alborozo chase model from the blind bags. They are very pearly, it's almost hard to photograph them. Spordur fra Bergi is a cutie! I love his chestnut shading and striped hooves. His mane has realistic masking. They did a great job matching the real horse's color to the model. Encore and Tor set are probably my favorite only because of the mare's cremello color. She actually has darker shading in real life than in the stock photo and she has kissy spots on her nose that can't be seen from the angle. Her colt has an upside down heart shaped star and snip. This set comes with a poster of the real horses. Chocolatey is stunning. His blanket markings are very crisp and he has lots of small details: mottling around his muzzle/eyes and striping in his mane. He also has bi-colored boy bits even though he's on the Roxy mold. Obsidian has glitter in his mane/tail and feet feathers but it's not excessive and is actually rainbow colored so the glitter changes color in the light. Reminds me of that rainbow unicorn in Assassin's Creed Odessey that leaves a rainbow trail behind it. He is solid black (no blue sheen) and very matte. Horse of the Year "Hope". He has a heart shaped hole in the back of his box with no plastic in front of it whatsoever. That means, yes, you can reach your hand in and touch it. It also means that yes, your horse can get scratched or rubbed just as easy. The horse is semi glossy and would be the perfect addition to a rainbow collection. I'm going to put reviews of each of these on my YouTube channel so if you want to see more in depth pictures of these guys, I'll be uploading videos over the weekend. I'm not too thrilled with the new packaging but the horses are all beautiful! There really wasn't any I didn't like. I can't wait to see the rest of my order!
I will be getting those that have ordered these guys packaged up over the weekend and ready to be shipped. If you have ordered these with anything not shown, it won't be shipped until I have the full order in. I'm still waiting on Theo, the Orren Mixer Paint, my Classics, the Unicorn blind bags and the clearware leopard. Breyer told me they're aiming for next week but it's probably all going to depend upon this snow storm coming through and how long it delays everything. That's the latest word that I've heard and if it changes, I will surely update.
