The sneak peeks we were teased with earlier in the week that Breyer announced would only be available to in person attendees ended up actually being the Best Custom Contest prizes. One is named I Forgot That You Existed, and he is on the Mirado stablemate mold. I'm absolutely in love with his color, but there goes my conga out the window, as I'll never be able to win the Customs contest with my humble artwork. This is the model that the top twelve finalists receive... If you are one of the lucky six top winners of the Best Customs Contest, you'll get Look What You Made Me Do on the Marwari mold. Another incredibly handsome chestnut pinto. There adds two more new breeds to the lineup: the Marwari and an Andalusian. Does that eliminate the Andalusian Mare as the surprise? Well, not quite, but I can tell y'all that this will likely be a year that I'm wrong because I'm incredibly stumped. I'm honestly a bit disappointed that we're no longer getting an in person only stablemate, nor a plushy this year (unless Breyer happens to reveal those later but I doubt it) because they appealed to the younger collectors. I guess with the stablemate now being online, they don't think they particularly need one for the event anymore. As to the plushy... well that's the biggest shocker, as that was almost as synonymous with Breyerfest as the crystal. I did notice though that the plushy was usually about the only thing left in the Breyerfest store at the end of the weekend, so it's possible they just didn't sell as good as everything else therefore Breyer decided to pull them. Anyways, I know many have been asking about customs, and honestly I have been in an artist's slump since Christmas trying to come up with new designs. I'm happy to announce that I have several that are in the works now, and I've decided to provide a bit of a sneak peek of my own of these unfinished pieces: Right now I'm on doing stablemates due to time. I do have some traditionals planned for later in the year that I've been slowly working on as I get the time, but traditionals take a lot more paint and layers to finish, so I tend to take several months to finish them. They will be out with my Halloween and holiday customs.
