The second release of the second release of the Premier Club and the final release (not including the bonus/optional release that is yet to make an appearance) of the Stablemates Club have been released around the same time. Not too long after the final release (again not including bonus/optional release, also not talking about bonus stablemate) of the Vintage Club for the year. Also that means renewals for the clubs are now available, at least the collector's club to start off with as you have to be a collector club member in order to join and/or rejoin the other clubs for next year.
First up for discussion are Tigerlily & Firestorm from the Premier Club.
Both are quite large, especially the mare Tigerlily, then again most of the releases the past few years have been getting larger and larger. I do like their coloring, especially Tigerlily's as I do love a gopod blue roan stock horse/mustang. Both are mostly flawless and I do love how long and think Tigerlily's mane and tail are. My only complaint was the stand for Firestorm was hard to get in, like it was a tad too small for the peg to go into. Also with him being a foal his legs are skinnier than adult horses with stands (think Smarty Jones, Valegro, etc.) so it made it more worry some for his leg to get bent/warped trying to make sure it gets into the stand and is secure enough in it. Though I do really like that Firestorm is a more action made mold as foals are quite active and the others have either been standing or at a trot for the most with movement. I know he's the son of Fireheart, but I feel they could've gone with a different name as they've used Fire and variants of it a lot lately. Oh well.
Next up is Miguel from the Stablemates Club. I got the brown & white spotted variation. I was really hoping for the zonkey or deco one but I'll keep him. The gambler's choice always comes in four possibilities, this year's was white & brown spotted, zonkey, coppenhagen deco, and dark/seal bay with pangare. I am glad both club releases came out at the same time so I could order them together and then they'd come in the same box for extra protection during shipping as it has been slightly crazy in the shipping world lately. Plus it helps save on shipping costs and taxes keep adding up too.
Then lastly Calista happened to have arrived around the same time as my club models so I had even more to share at once. She is quite gorgeous though she is a tad darker in person than I originally thought, but that doesn't fully matter as she is still quite flashy. I'm starting to feel I may need to get tack for her and some of the other horses I've gotten in the past month or so.
That's it for this post, will hopefully have more come out this week or so. See y'all later!
