Everyone asked and Breyer listened! Here is the Bouncer that everyone has been wishing for: Not sure what's with all the appaloosas this year (Goji, Lionel, the second PC release, Klaus, Thorn, Oak, the 70th anniversary Indian Pony and now this guy) but it must be the year of the spotted horses for sure! While he's cute, I'm not too big on leopard appys. Now before y'all start hating on me I do love them in real life, yes, but I don't always like them on Breyers because of all the blank color. Now, depending upon if the white is chalky (basecoated) or if it's simply bare plastic is a huge factor in whether I'll buy them or not. This guy I admit I think is one of the better leopards that Breyer has done. If he were glossy, I'd probably take the gamble of seeing if his coat is chalky or not, but I don't really have the $160 to throw on him right now to find out. The bare plastic is the reason I traded my appy Nayati for a pinto. The Nayati I traded for came with an unusually pink face. The gal I traded with said she got three of the same, and I'm pretty sure the pinto she sent me pictures of wasn't the same one she sent me because that one had a lot less white. Still, I rather like the pink face, and he fits in a lot better with my flashy pinto herd than the appy. I'm actually rather fond of the pinking. There is apparently a world wide paint crisis I don't know about, or a lot of really bored people hoarding art supplies. Whatever the case, all the local Walmart stores in my area are out of paint. If they don't stock up soon, I'm also going to be out of paint and thus the horses I'm currently working on now will have to be my last customs for a while. I finally finished my Classic giraffe, my tiger Misty and Stormy and an American Dream inspired by Mischief Night. I have a few stablemates left that are almost done but, again, these will probably be my last customs for a while. Apparently Breyer is also dealing with their own set of quarantined problems because I have three orders that have not been shipped yet, including Altynai, and I ordered him the day he was released. Very unusual for Breyer to be so backed up... not sure what's going on. Usually they have my shipments out with a couple of days.

Why would you trade the bouncer for that horse? The pony was beautiful. I was trying to find me one but I'm not part of that world like you are. If you know of someone willing to give up there's I would jump at it. Thanks. God bless. Joy Comments are closed.
