Rowan and Javier Have Arrived!! Last of Breyerfest Haul Has Arrived!! Halloween Haul!!

 Rowan and Javier are here!!

My Rowan and Javier are here and they are beautiful. My Rowan does have a tiny bit on pink on three of his fetlocks, but no where near as bad as others I've seen reported on social media. So I am happy with him and his coloring is a bit better in person, and I am really happy I got the glossy version of Javier as I haven't had much luck with glossy splits with some releases like I have in the past. 

I ordered some stuff online during Breyerfest from triple Mountain and had to wait a bit for it to arrive as I did have a preorder item with my order and usually she doesn't ship out till everything has arrived. Got some exciting stuff that I couldn't wait to arrive and am so happy they are finally here to see in person!!

I got another Peter Stone, Impressive Kaycee Too, despite a chipped ear he seemed like such a great deal I couldn't pass up and he had been available for a while, his ear could've been the cause of that but I don't mind it as the rest of him is in great shape. I also finally got my first Hartland!! It's Bedouin Princess on the Lady Princess mold, she's missing her foal so I'll be on the look out for him next. Other wise she's in fairly decent shape for her age, some scratches and wear and tear, she possibly could've been lightly played with and possible scratches if stowed away for some time. I do love a good grey Arabian and I've liked the Hartland Arabians most form the pics I've seen of them. I got the rest of the 2014 World Equestrian Games (WEG) models that were available, the two classic scales were new in box but I took them out to put the bonus blankets on them. So far I've only named the two classics and am still thinking of ones for the stablemates. They are Swan Song (grey Ruffian on left) and Ruby Sunset (chestnut Johar on right). I also got a glossy WIA Criollo, I have wanted the Criollo for a while and he kept selling out, the glossy one was new for limited amount and was the preorder and I'm glad I got one as now I have a glossy WIA as the rest are matte. The 90th anniversary rainbow appaloosa Schleich I couldn't pass up as he is so cool looking and I haven't gotten a Schleich in a while so this was a good excuse to get one. Got a vintage My Little Pony (MLP) club patch, looks like for gen 1 and gen 2 era, a Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron promotional button, it was also on there for a while and surprised no one snatched it up as most of the hobby like me loves and adores that movie plus grew up with it.  Then lastly I got the Peter Pegasus funko pop as I had been eyeing for awhile and decided now was a good time to get him.

Halloween haul is here!!

I got Screech, Webster who is super cute, 2 blind bag spooky stablemates but I got dupes of Tabitha unfortunately, and the pin plus one for my mom. I do like the metallic blue on Screech and mini Tabitha, plus the feather blaze on screech is really cute too. Fairly decent Halloween haul for the year.

That's all I have for this post, see y'all in the next one!!

September Newsletter, Brick & Mortar Special Model, CCA Event Round 2, & Iquitos!!

 September newsletter is here!! Let's take a look inside!!

Meet Juriaan!!

Juriaan is the fall Collector Club special run. He is on the Vermeer/Friesian/Friesian Sport Horse mold. He is is a rich glossy light chestnut coat.He is available while supplies last, he costs $75. I got to see him in the Collector Club tent this past Breyerfest and knew I had to have him once available, I ordered him right away when he became available online and can't wait for him to arrive!!

A new workshop is also available, learning how to do paint detailed hair on appaloosas, the deluxe club bonus stablemates are also available!! Plus they come with the pin for the club, slightly hoping for the Wedgewood or Copenhagen for the deco as you get two, the other is the bay/silver bay appaloosa. The gold models haven't thrilled me recently but the softer blues have been nice. The featured story is about showing model horses around the world, seems like a really interesting read. This months giveaway is Arachne, I'm skipping this one as I plan to get Arachne at a later time. Last but certainly not least, the sneak peak!!

This looks to be the winter raffle model as most of the time they are silver filigree. Some are speculating Bristol, one said Esprit but thankfully for me he was already used, that one was Alpine and I still need to get for my conga.

Meet Rosanna!!

This year's Brick & Mortar special model is on the Shagya Arabian mold in a rose grey coat. She was revealed not long ago and wasn't long before she was being offered up, this one arrived not long after I preordered so I guess they got the stock in right away and then sent her out right away. I love rose greys so I am glad I was able to get her. 

The second round of the CCA event has also come but like always can't really afford at the moment, especially after ordering Juriaan who also doesn't count towards it as it's only regular run stock that qualifies. Maybe one year I will be able to and also hopefully with really good models then too.

Meet Iquitos!!

Iquitos was the sneak peak from the previous newsletter & he was in fact part of the wild animal serious. He is based off poison dart frogs and is named after a region in South America. He is done on the Bristol mold, which has had a lot of web special/web raffle releases lately. He is gorgeous and I like he has a color gradient vs just being blue like most poison dart frogs when you look them up and they can come in other colors, blue just seems to be a popular type chosen. 

That's all I have for this post, see y'all in the next one!!

August Collector Club Newsletter & Halloween Models!!

 August newsletter has arrived!! Let's take a look!!

There's a new exclusive workshop covering layering acrylic paints, announcement about the Halloween store for 2025, National Fun Day update for October 11th, throw back to Just About Horses January/February edition of 1999, giveaway is for a full set of Fylkir's past stablemate release for the stablemate club 2017. Entering to hopefully get the 2 I want, the silver black and the dunalino, only have the appaloosa and bay splash, appaloosa was the first one I got then the bay splash came in a grab bag. Those also happened to be my least 2 favorite versions, again I am a sucker for the dilutes of silver and double dilute of dun and palomino. So wish me luck in entering. There's also a survey about experience of being in the collector club, wonder what changes this could lead to.

last but not least, the sneak peak!!

Definitely not only a deco, but could be related to the Wild Animal series as that usually comes out around this time of year and Breyer seems to be continuing it for now. Could be lizard, frog, butterfly, possibly even a fish, doubt bird if they want to pick up the Birds of a Feather Series again in the future.

Halloween model are here!!

Meet Screech!!

Screech is the glow in the dark deco classic for this year's Halloween model!! He's dark metallic purpley blue with owl markings!! He more than likely was the sneak peak in the previous newsletter. I'm definitely getting him.

Meet Webster!!

Webster is the Halloween plushy for this year!! He is so cute!! He's got little spiders with webs and is very colorful with purple, pink and orange!! Definitely getting him!!

Spooky Surprise Blind Bags Series 7!!

This years Spooky Stablemates are minis of Thriller, Tabitha, and EEK!! I am ordering 2, last year I lucked out getting 2 different ones hoping the same for this year. I mostly like mini Tabitha and Thriller best. The mini Tabitha could've been the sneak peak, but I'm leaning more towards Screech based off how the stars look. Then of course there's a pin of the traditional model I also plan to get. I'll wait a little bit to get the traditional, Arachne.

That's it for this post, see y'all in the next one!!
