Breyerfest Stablemate Reveal, Deco Special Run Reveal & Rekjavik Has Arrived!! Plus, No Breyerfest Plush?!

 The last of the Breyerfest reveals are here!! (that is non prize models, this would be the LE's/Store Specials and Special Runs.)

So without further-ado...

Meet Wild Things!!

This is the last of the limited edition models to be revealed. This little guy is done on the Cantering Morgan Stallion in a flaxen chestnut coat. He is available online only. He is named after the song by Alessia Cara. Wild Things will be limited to 3,000 pieces and will cost $15.00 each.

I do really like this little pony, I am a sucker for flaxen chestnut with lots of chrome so he's definitely a must get for me.

The deco special run is finally here!!

Meet Better Than Revenge!!

This vibrant mare is done on the Sport Pony Mare version of the Astrid/Fjord Mare mold by Maggie Jenner-Bennett. The glossy neon zebra stripes are inspired by Fruit Stripe Gum (now discontinued), Lisa Frank, Saved by the Bell (PS Zach Morris is trash), and anything 90s. She will cost $65 and will be limited to 2,200 pieces.

I actually really like her. I guess the green in her coloration counts towards the emerald/jade for the 35th anniversary. We also technically get two zebras this year which is kinda nice as Breyer doesn't do zebras or zebra coats very often. Though with the amount I like this year, I may have to get an extra ticket to get everything I really want. So with that being said, any models I was tentative on I may have to skip and get later if I decide by then if I really like them. I'll admit, I had to look else where for the cost and run number as it wasn't posted on the event model exclusive page yet but someone else managed to get that info so I used that for reference. I will also admit I am a bit surprised they are suing this mold again, it was used for Breyerfest 2022, grate start was the long mane and tail version but its still the same as its the sport horse variation of the Astrid/Fjord Mare mold. I was hoping she wouldn't be used again for awhile and would get more fjord releases or a portrait sport horse mare on this version before then. Oh well, she is still cute to me and I do like her better than Rapunzel. 

So far Breyer has made it seem they are done with Breyerfest reveals, at least for special runs and limited editions/store specials, especially of the model variety. But the warding they sometimes use is confusing, for Wild Things they at first made it seem he was the very last limited edition to be revealed but then you see the key wording of model thrown in there. But that has lead to lots of confusion of whether we will hav the customary plush for this year or not. Because Breyer has also pushed on trying to get all reveals done in January so there is time to decide what people want, especially with VIP tickets, as they go on sale this month at some point which has yet to be announced. So far Breyer has also let out information for the shows and dioramas as entries for those also go along with ticket purchases to register for them, but they did say there would be more next week but who know what it is they'll be posting about. It could be the prize models as their names were revealed in the info detailing the shows and dioramas for this year. So with no official word, we still won't know if there will or will not be a plush this year. I will slightly be disappointed if there isn't one as I usually end up really liking them and also my aunt likes to try to get one for herself and her youngest grandchild when she has started attending with me and my parents. If there isn't going to be one this year, I am hoping it comes back next year, though I don't know why they wouldn't have one this year. To a point I could see it being hard to get one to fit the theme, but considering how colorful and how many decos they're using, they could do one look that and not have it be realistic. Heck years past one shaven been realistic, for instance 2018's was a combo of racing silks, for 2015 they had the Union Jack, and for 2014 they had one look like confetti as it was the 25th anniversary that year. So Im sure they could find something to fit this year plus they are using songs for names so theres that name wise. Oh well I guess, also I guess we'll still have to wait and see.

On a brighter note, my Reykjavik arrived this week!!

I also decided to get Dasher and Rosie with him while I was at it. I will say my Reykjavik isn't quite as rosy/brown as the others I've seen. Im not sure its the lighting and background or what, but I just remember his description heavily emphasized his dilutes that would cause him to be rosy looking. He does have very minor and not so noticeable flaws. He's got some very tiny black specks here and there, one paint brush hair, and sone rubs on the bottom of his hooves but gain they aren't very obvious so I am quite happy with him.
