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?
This year they actually announced all the Premier Club before it closed, and they got me right at the end with the additional pictures of all the options. It’s exciting to see the grey/chestnut spilt on the Mule (though I like the chestnut!) and how intriguing is it that the Rowan is actually two molds - one that is a hairy Highland pony stallion, and the other a much more svelte Riding Pony mare, braided up. I just love Sarah’s Murgese in that very cool dappled black, too.
We already had to submit our choices, and I chose Hairy and Matte for mine. What did y’all choose?
