I took advantage of the Black Friday special Breyer was running over the weekend and bought the entire line of Zodiac classics, which are technically web specials since they are sold only through Breyer's website. I originally wanted to only buy the Zodiac models corresponding to my children however the deal was too good to pass up to get all 12 for only $14.95 each so I decided to buy the lot. I will keep the Zodiacs of my children then maybe gift the rest to family and sell some on eBay since I'm more a traditional sized collector and not classics.
This being said all of them looked pretty amazing, much better than the pictures. Gloss doesn't look good on all models but it goes well with these, I guess because they are decorators. My Zodiac is Leo and his Breyer model is absolutely stunning! I love the fact that he is also done on one of my favorite classic molds, the American Quarter Horse Stallion. The one thing that I didn't like is how the horses were boxed. Normally with special runs through Breyer's website they only give you a mail order box so I'm happy they came in some kind of collectible box, however these ones do not have plastic on them to display the horse. They are completely cardboard and do not have a label as to which one is inside so you have to open up each box to see which horse you got. I had to circle the one that was in it. It was kind of fun since you never knew which Zodiac you would open next but if I sell a few I will have to sell them as open box which may decrease their value a bit. This is the first time I've bought an entire series so I'm pretty excited to own them, even if only for a short while. Comments are closed.
