The anticipation has taken over. I have been going into my local Tractor Supply nearly everyday this week, waiting upon them to get in another truck with Stella and the blind bags on it. I was beginning to give up hope when today, right before work, I stopped in and saw that they had finally put them out! They had two Stellas. As I thought, I wasn't too impressed with her. I've never really been a fan of the "cartoon-y" look of Bluegrass Bandit with her plain face and narrow body but the color was the clincher. Stella was not coming home with me. I know lots of people like bays, and I admit that Breyer has been painting bays for so long that a lot of their bay horses look almost life-like, but she was just too plain for my liking. I would have preferred a little more white in her pinto coloring, then maybe. Now my Tractor Supply only had six Spirit blind bags out. I thought I didn't have much of a chance, and upon feeling the bags, I almost came home with the red roan Esperanza. Almost. I had to check again and lo and behold it wasn't the chaser. Finally, the last horse I felt had that similar outward sticking tail and I knew by feeling the mane that it was going to be the chase. I was right! The Spirit chaser with the Indian war paint had been on my grail list for some time now, and I'm so glad to own him! Made going back to work a bit more cheerful ;) I wanted to add that the new Fairytale Friends Club model, Seafoam, is out! I thought that Seafoam looked a lot like the Walmart Clydesdale from Unicorn Crazy series 2, minus the glittery mane and tail, until I saw him in real life pictures. He has a lot more silver coloring to him. That little Mini Whinnie though is something to adore. I'm still on the edge though whether I feel these guys are worth their price, especially since their coloring isn't much different than the $3 Walmart unciorns, minus the glittery mane and tail. Is it really worth paying that much extra for glitter? Finally I'd like to introduce Nadifa. She is the latest in the annual Wild Animal series, and I kind of like this one! Giraffes are one of my favorite zoo animals and I love the Lonesome Glory mold. It would have been especially cool if they gave her cloved hooves! Unfortunately I can't afford the $175 price tag tacked onto her at this time of the year. She is a raffle model limited to only 300 pieces.
