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 just ordered my Augustus from the SMC. I’m looking forward to next year’s SMC as well… can’t afford the Premier club. Though I do look forward to the day that mule becomes regular run. :)
The Clubs just get better every year, I swear.
I’m currently only in for the Deluxe CC (need those mini semi-rearing mustangs!) and the SM Club, but the Premier Club mule is mighty tempting. That mini Zara is to die for, and I’m REALLY curious about this new “groundbreaking” fantasy model for the SM Club.
I love that, with the SM Club, at least, we generally see everything ahead of time, so people know in advance if the subscription is worth it to them in a given year. I just wish we had crossover access to the SMs in the Premier and Vintage Clubs! 😄
