So sorry this took so long, I got caught in the season changes at work and my first semester of online courses to MBA ended, second semester just started. Plus there was the holiday in-between where I just wanted to use it to not think of anything and just work on other stuff, I kinda didn't/couldn't and slightly didn't want to post on here till now. Week before Christmas I was also hit with a doozy of getting a bad cold ad having car troubles and had to get a rental and work the whole week leading up to me going home for the holidays. I did get a new laptop though and will start using it for this soon while my old laptop is mostly used for school work to a point, I also wanted time to get my new laptop set up the way I wanted it and navigate the new features it has compared to the old model I have. So without further ado, here are the new holiday models for this year, save for the traditional scale as I already covered him earlier this year.
Meet Hyperion!!!
Every year Breyer does a deco classic scale unicorn usually available in the fall leading up to the holidays. Hyperion is a metallic pink with a hint of silver on the classic/freedom scale Mandrake/Morgan Stallion mold with an added horn. He is really nice and I got him for my mom as she likes unicorns the most and her fav color is pink and for my parents weddings the colors were pink with silver and white.
Meet Sylvan!!
Sylvan is the classic scale winter deco for this year. Sylvan's markings show deer, foxes, and other wildlife in a winter setting with a silver grey top/main coat color. As usual I did get him as I have gotten all the others, maybe one day when I can have a better display I can make a nice big winter display for them all.
Meet the 75th Anniversary Family!!
The vintage Proud Arabian Family is finally being utilized as a whole set!! The stallion on the Proud Arabian Stallion mold appears to be a bay pinto with a commemorative ribbon, the mare on the Proud Arabian Mare appears to be a palomino appaloosa and their foal on the Proud Arabian Foal appears to be a buckskin/dun appaloosa, possible pintaloosa. I did get these as I thought they were nice and I've been really liking the family sets lately.
Meet Cuddles!!
Cuddles is the yearly pony for Christmas as Breyer always does on every year. She is a chestnut pinto on the vintage but beloved Misty mold. Her blanket is a light blue/teal with snowflakes, candy canes, mistletoe, presents, gingerbread men, holly, and I believe boughs of evergreen? She is very cute, I haven't purchased her yet, but I may soon as she is still available.
Meet Merry Dancer!!
This year's Santa surprise/Christmas day type deco model is on the Strapless mold. Earlier this year there were some leaks online from someone smuggling possible samples or official models from the factory they are made, the first two were Colby and Brooks form the TSC exclusive lineup and then later a pink deco pinto appeared and was speculated to be this release. Naturally I fell in love with the pink one first and was hoping to pull that one for my mom, but of course it's the luck of the draw and also part of me always hopes to pull a coal as well. The other colors are a minty green and a purple. I ended up pulling a purple, I later wanted to buy a second one but didn't want to risk getting a dupe and having to deal with trading at the moment. Oh well, maybe one year I'll get lucky and get a coal and I'll just have to get the pink one second hand.
Meet Short & Sweet Blind Bags!!
This year's winter deco stablemate blind bags are the Short & Sweet set! They are mini's of the candy striped Zebras from 2019, a mini coal was even included!! I wanted to get them and when they were launched I guess I took too long getting two and adding other stuff that they sold out by the time I went to check out. Past couple of years they didn't sell out and seemed to have extra stock so I was surprised these went so fast. Oh well, I'll just have to get the gold and red I wanted second hand and see if I can get lucky and get an affordable coal at some point.
Meet Killington & mini Killington!!
This year's silver filigree release for winter is Killington and his mini me both on the vintage, well for the traditional scale one, Fighting Stallion mold. These are usually offered as a lottery release, but since last year they have just been releasing them till stock runs out instead which I guess is fine but I kind of miss the fun of the lottery but there are plenty of other lotteries throughout the year anyway. I did get these two and surprisingly they didn't sell out but at least I got them.
I also received the last of my club models, sadly I got the chestnut version of Winnifred the new molly mule for the Premier club, but at least I really like the last two releases of the Stablemate's club and my Juriaan arrived which I will try to share later. That's it for this post, more coming later, plus I still have to make my top 9 model selections for end of 2025 as I still haven't decided on those yet. See y'all in the next one!!
