I saw a couple others selling customs to donate to aid the citizens of Ukraine impacted by the war, and I think this is a brilliant idea! During the Iraq war I donated a toy box full of classic, stablemate and mini whinnies sized Breyers overseas to the children impacted by the war back then, so I would like to do my share again. Although I currently don't have the time to make blue and yellow colored ponies that most are making for this cause, I do have some leftover Halloween customs that I can pitch in. Please see my eBay page (screen name is our official business name: gbmodelponies) if you'd like to purchase one of these ponies, as I will be donating between 20 to 30% of the sales towards Nova Ukraine. Breyer is apparently doing their own bit by offering this beauty of a OOAK for auction on eBay, putting 100% of the sales towards Ukraine relief, which is awesome. I love when larger companies do this. He looks similar to the Classics sized Man o'War gambler's choice, Lancelot, with his shimmery blue coat and black points. As a Thoroughbred lover, I'd cherish this guy if I won him, but I know he's going to go way past my price range. The winner of this horse will be incredibly lucky indeed, so good luck to all who bid! Mentioned on Breyer's blog today was the next release in the Vintage Club on the Smoky mold named Sandman. I can't wait to add another red dun to my collection, and on an overo at that, my favorite pinto pattern! He looks absolutely yummy in gloss and look at those detailed eyes! I'm always amazed how good the vintage molds look on modern colors, and Breyer sure has been pumping out a lot of them lately. Do we have a vintage themed Breyerfest coming up or something? Those of you in the Premier Club last year... the mini Fireheart stablemate will be shipping soon. Be on the lookout for it on your account and make sure he is going to the correct address! Breyer is aiming him towards the person who purchased the last PC release (the mare and foal set) so if you pre-sold your set, make sure you call Breyer before he ships out. If you entered for the beloved Robin and Nestling, check the Collector Club page to see if they're available to you. Some people received an email, some didn't, but if you won you should be able to purchase them. If you can't, then you're like me, who also entered but wasn't pulled. Of course it was probably for the better since I sold off a lot of my bay pintos when I downsized on my collection, including Vixen and Blitzen, who would be twinning with this set if I still had them and won. Anyways congratulations to those who will be adding this set to their collection!

Clearware firehearts aren't a thing....yet. I really hope they add him to the lineup but they probably won't until next year earliest as he's the bonus model for this year's SM club
