I find it a little earlier than usually for the TSC models to make a reveal, but recently they have appeared on TSC's official site. They won't likely be available until around October, which is usually when they start to come in, but it is good to start planning now. I meant to post this yesterday, but ended up feeling really tired and just decided to go to sleep. I'll get back on track to day and the rest of what I wanted to post will be for next month leading up to Breyerfest.
First I'll go with one that was listed first on the site, so without further ado...
Meet Bugaboo!!
This gal is done on the Roxy mold in a bay, possible pinto/sabino coat, with four tall stockings and a stripe on her face. It appears she dons the braided mane & tail variation of this mold. Her official description is as follows, "Stock horses are well known for their "cow sense" - ability to work with cows - and their athletic and muscular build. Bugaboo is a beautiful bay mare with high white socks and a face stripe. She's in an extended lope, ready to chase down a cow and bring them back to the herd! She's also a great family mount and can be used for western pleasure, trail riding and even the sport of reining!" I do like her though when I first saw her I thought they had already done this type of design already for a TSC model, turns out I was thinking of Stella on the Bluegrass Bandit mold, though those on social media pointed out her similarities to the Breyerfest 2019 Special Run Model Diana variation. Speaking of Breyerfest, I believe this takes off one more mold guess of my list of surprise horse guesses this year so it looks like a new ranking list is in order which I will post later. I only have about 1-2 model on this mold, I hope to add more, and I will get her to help expand it. Now to move on to the second one.
Meet Lydia!!
This sporty lady is done on the mare version of the Lonsome Glory mold. She is a blanket palomino appaloosa with a star and one sock on her foreleg, she has a lot of shading that I at first thought she may possibly of been a dunalino. Her description is, "Sporthorses excel in a variety of disciplines that require precision and accuracy - traditionally the Olympic disciplines of dressage, show jumping, eventing, and combined driving. Sporthorses are bred for specific qualities in their temperament, conformation, and movement to help them excel in the show ring. Her athleticism, paired with her beautiful palomino blanket appaloosa coat, make Lydia a particularly stunning example of this breed type." I think I have 2 mare variations on this mold, though I think Breyer has only done 2 on this mold. They are Zenyatta and By A Nose from Breyerfest 2018. I think this also takes off a potential guess/possibility off my surprise horse guesses list. I think she is very pretty and I do like a good palomino, so this fall she will be joining me. We are halfway through the traditional models, on to the third/second to last model.
Meet Big Blue!!
This guy is a blue decorator like Blue from a couple of years ago, he is to match/represent the blue jackets FFA members wear. He is done on the Clydesdale Stallion mold, good to see the original traditional scale mold being used again as the stablemate version has been used a lot lately. He has gold bobs and a gold bow as accessories. His description is as follows, "Our inspiration for Big Blue, this beautiful texture coated draft horse, is the iconic blue corduroy jacket worn by FFA members. This jacket dates to 1933 and represents a lifestyle of new opportunities, tradition, leadership, agriculture, commitment, pride, community service, and much more." About $3 of each of his sales will be donated to the FFA. I do like him, before I knew his name, I thought he was black but then upon closer inspection I realized he was actually a blue deco, which I do like this blue deco type as it's like dark blue jeans that somewhat match Liberty and other blue jeans decos that have been done in the past. I will be getting him as do like and he will go with Blue and maybe Applegate from last year.
Last but certainly not least of the traditional scale model...
Meet Peyton!!
He appears to be a chestnut/liver chestnut on the Adios mold with a narrow stripe and possibly a sock/stocking on his one fore hoof. Nice to see Adios have a release again, it's been a bit, I believe his last official release was Fonzie. His description says, "The most popular breed in the United States is the Quarter Horse. These horses were bred to be the fastest in sprint races of 1/4 mile or less, but they were also the mount of choice for cowboys of the American west. Today, Quarter Horses have been specialized through breeding to excel in all manner of work and sport, from ranch tasks to show jumping. Peyton's sturdy conformation, rich chestnut coat, and intelligent, expressive eyes reflect the qualities one would desire in a working horse. He features an authentically styled ranch brand on his right hip." It's really hard to see in this photo, but I do not see a brand on his right hip we can see form this angle in this photo. Maybe this is a pic of a prototype, that has happened in the past. I guess we'll have to keep an eye on the site as it gets closer to the models being officially released in stores. Anyway, I do like him, I feel Adios is a bit underrated as he's based off a standardbred of the same name but is always used as a quarter horse due to his looks and build reflecting that breed opposed to the breed he actually is. At least he fits both technically, though one is definitely favored over the other. I could use more good stock horses in my herd.
There is one more new release on the site, it is the classic scale mustang family as there is usually is a new one each year.
They're pretty and cute, but it is an interesting combination of molds. The mare and foal are done on the vintage Mesteno's mother and the foal is on the newer, but vintage looking, haflinger foal mold while the stallion is on the brand new-ish Fairfax/Morgan stallion mold. The stallion appears to be a bay roan, the mare looks like a dunalino pinto, and the foal is either a buckskin or a dun pinto, maybe even dunskin pinto. Don't know if I'll get them or not, I have'nt gotten the last few these past few years. I'm mostly focused on the traditional models and any stablemate sets like they did last year.
Currently it does not look like there's going to be a stablemate set or two yet. It's still early, maybe after Breyerfest or within the next month or 2 we may see more, or not. Anyway, that's it for now, until nex time!!
