Breyer has two different Breyerfest Blog posts with auction model reveals. This post will cover the first post of reveals. So let's get started and take a look.
Lot #1:
Trotting Morgan Stallion
The Troubadour mold, as it is also called, is done in a glossy dapple bay coat with blue interference. Breyer is doing the blue interference again due to most of the positive feedback on it when displayed in other models. It also looks like he has a blaze/stripe with four white socks on each hoof. I do like him and his rich coloring, though I will say it once here though I guess I may say it again/say it all the time, but sadly I won't be able to afford any OOAKs as usual. Maybe and hopefully one day as there is always at least one or two I really like and wish they could join my heard.
Lot #2:
Paso Fino
Cancion is another name for this mold and it made his first Breyerfest appearance last year as one of the raffle models. He is done in a red dun overo coat. It sort of looks like he may have a slight badger face marking on his face, but it's hard from only the one angle we are given. I do really like the shading, the maing, and attention to marking details on him, it makes him look really handsome. I hope we get a regular run portrait model of him next year after having multiple limited releases from this year and last year, especially since he is used as a portrait model of a guest horse this year.
Lot #3:
Fell Pony
This little gal is done in a strawberry roan sabino coat. The coloration and marking are reminiscent of Heath who was released earleir this year. Some theorize she could possibly have been a test for him, which that could possibly be and would be cool but Breyer hasn't really said anything about that, especially when she was first revealed, but I somewhat doubt it. Also I guess this takes another mold off my surprise horse guesses list. I do like her though and wished this mold was used a bit more, especially for portrait models as all we have is the late queen's mount, Carltonlima Emma, aka Emma. Plus this mold deserves more intricate coats done on her as most have been solid, Emma is solid black, black-eyed susan is dark/liver chestnut, and honeybunch is palomino. Coats like this do seem to suit her well, hopefully she makes more appearances, especially larger limited to regular run type releases in the future plus this is the only fell pony mold Breyer has and it is an underrepresented breed, especially in the hobby.
Lot #4:
Andalusian Stallion
This guy is a glossy peacock inspired decorator. I do like him as he is very interesting, though I find Breyer always does interesting decos like this on this mold and they usually end up being very limited releases or OOAKs which is sad as he always looks very cool. I know my aunt would really like this model as she loves peacocks. I wish I could get him for her, but oh well, hopefully they make a peacock deco again in the future, maybe like if Breyer brings back the Birds of a Feather series.
(those are all the reveals form the first blog post of reveals, I will cover the rest tomorrow. all the pics and info comes straight from Breyer.)
