Attention Vintage Club and Premier Club members: the welcome letters are going out so you should be receiving it soon! If you've recently moved, be sure to let Breyer know so that they can send you your letter to the correct address. There are lots of little hints in each letter. I'll start with the Vintage Club. By the way, if you didn't know your Vintage Club number (which is the same number in production as your model will be) then you will receive a card with your welcome letter that has your number on it. This will always be your number for as long as you stay in the club. You should also receive a poster. The letter reads: We've already seen Cooper and Sandman, both flashy and realistic colors. We're also due to get a *gasp* mare and foal set as a gambler's choice! From my assumption based upon what they haven't used yet, it'll most likely be the Family Arabian mare and foal or the Stock Horse mare and foal, although we could be surprised with some oddities. There's a possibility they could use the Lying Down Foal with a random mare or even Misty's Twilight with Sea Star, for example. The final model in the VC is a flocky! This is really exciting, as I've never personally came across one on a Breyer (this was way before my time, y'all) but I did have flocked models in other brands as a child... Grand Champions, anyone? I'm really excited to see the flocked Breyers brought back again. The freebie stablemate model will be a mini Dandy, a portrait model of the first ever release in the Vintage Club and the optional 5th purchase is a woodgrain on a "fan favorite vintage sculpture"... any idea who? This appears to be an excicing year to be a Vintage Club member! This may be the first year in which I actually don't sell any models from my membership but I will add that I may offer my spot for the optional release as long as it's not a mold I conga, as I'm not a big woodgrain fan. Now what about the Premier Club? Does it measure up? Well, everyone's opinion is different, of course, but here is what the Premier Club letter says: The Premier Club letter says that the second model will be a "unique breed" by Sarah Minkiewicz (whom you may remember sculpted the Mangalarga Marchador - the first of that breed in Breyer horses) and they use the Marwari as an example so I'm thinking it'll be a new breed. For me personally, I'm hoping for a Curly Bashkir, but I'm probably being too optimistic, although it would be really cool to have a Breyer model textured like that. The third model is a "great action model" and I'm wondering if this wasn't the horse from the sneak peek we saw last year, the Spanish breed horse with the flowing mane? It would make sense since it looked like he was rearing. As you all probably remember from last year as well, the stablemate is going to be a mini Georg.
Exciting things to look forward to if you're in either club! Stablemate Club members... unfortunately we don't get welcome letters but don't forget that we do get an optional 7th stablemate purchase at the end of the year. Comments are closed.
