Back in the day, we were lucky to get one new Breyer sculpt a year. Now we are guaranteed at least three new Traditionals through the Premier Club and then all the wonderful new minis that are coming out as well.

I love my buttermilk welsh cob by Eva Rossiter that is galloping across my table right next to me! So much action and presence! Young me was always annoyed at how few models were in action poses, and that is no longer an problem in the Breyer line.

I’m looking forward to getting the new SMB mini drafter this year but also I am THRILLED TO DEATH that we are getting a shrinky plastic Zara next year, not just a shrink Proud Arabian Mare but a shrink of the true original in high fidelity.

I am one of the few who doesn’t really love buying models sight unseen but it’s wonderful to have these very high quality pieces so accessible.

What are you excited about, for December and for next year?

    I’ve been in the SMC since the beginning, and this upcoming year looks like it will not disappoint! Tiny Zara? Awesome! New Tiny Othello? Fabulous! (Even though he is very similar to Churchill so that impacts my thoughts on him being included in a Best of BF SM set anytime soon.) G1 Silky? Love seeing him come back! G3 Paso? Love that he’s the finish split, though I don’t have a preference and will be happy with either one. G3 TWH? This is such a nice pattern! G4 QH? Oddly enough the gambler is my least favorite mold-wise, but there are some nice colors and I will be happy with one of them to keep my SMC collection complete. Darwin as a Pegasus? Incredible! I am really happy to see a Pegasus with molded on wings (a first for Breyer in any scale).

    I also joined the DCC again, it’s another one I’ve always chosen since it’s been available. I did think about buying another membership briefly to get a second of the 4 Deco Mustang colors, but without a Gambler SMC mold that I conga and not being in the other more expensive clubs it didn’t make sense.

    I seriously thought about the PC - so far I’ve only joined in 2023. Even considering all of the reveals, which I think is awesome, and I do like the models especially the mule, I decided I was more scared of the unknown VC which I don’t have first hand access to, BreyerFest, and other unknowns like web specials - I decided to pass. (The prospect of Hamilton wearing the 4 Deco colors does not seem like an impossibility to me, in particular for the VC…and runs of 250 secondhand threaten to take a lot of my annual budget. Being a conga mold I’d prioritize him over other things.)
