Breyer/Model Horse Fan Club v.2

[BlingBling]

As far as I know no one has AP yet, I've been scouring for more pics, too ahah. The official image's tail looks very... photoshopped to me, like they threw it up before the altered mold was even finished, and I'd like to see the real tail. But I did find this:

Only pic of the AP mold I've seen that isn't the official pic. Looks like there's some potential for some nicely shaded guys.

I've been hunting too. I even found the new filigree web special but no traces of this guy yet x3

Filigree, eh? That should be nice, what mold? Not my favorite decorator color but it could be nice! I think my favorite silver filigree model was the cute buffalo. I always have such mixed feelings about decorator colors. They have a certain rarity that makes them interesting, and on old models they are very cool, but ehhh... I don't think I'd ever set out to get one of my own. I'd have to be given one for free or something. Actually, Giverny from BF this year was rather pretty for being decorator. Buuut still, the only thing I have close to being decorator, a non-natural colored model, is my Twilight Terror (who currently has his plastic innards being tinkered with to get the sound and lights to work again after a year+ of basement box dwelling because just replacing the batteries was apparently not enough :c ) Halloween horse.

Ah well, not part of the collector's club anyways ahah, no web specials for me. I considered it just to join the new Stablemates club but I don't have that kinda money to use for that sorta thing I might not even buy anything from

Just gunna pop in here ^-^

Well, I just sold all the rest of my classics and stablemates, and am hoping to collect Traditionals strictly.
I do have 1 classic but it's the one my dad picked out for me, it's War Horse Joey with the book.

Right now I have Templado and Trooper.

The story on my Templado is actually funny. I'm apart of a facebook group on facebook for breyer horses. And I bought Templado for about $75 (I think I overpaid) and I was keeping in touch with this girl that sold me him and she lived in Canada where I live in the US. Well her boyfriend ended up having to ship Templado to me, and he shipped him....in a CEREAL BOX! A few newspapers inside too but just inside a cereal box!! While I hold my breath as I am prepared to find him broken, scratched, etc.. He was in 1 piece! Thank god! He does have hoof rubs but thats ok. He's only here to look pretty for me :)

And just 2 days ago, my man got me Trooper <3
Story on this was we were driving around and I asked if we could stop at Fleet Farm and last time we went there was only Trooper, and I told him I've wanted him for 2 years now. So today I was hoping he would still be there and to my surprise there was a whole stock of breyers including Trooper! It felt like a dream, like I was a little kid again. Then he told me we could get him if it would make me happy, and oh yeah it made me very very happy! I was in love all over again, lol!

I just wanna share some pics of Trooper that I took yesterday:

Those are very pretty pictures of Trooper

[Blossom Birchwood]

Thank you :)

I saw Hickstead at fleet farm too.
do you guys think he's worth it or no?

[EmberWolf]

Not my favorite model in the world but he did just get put on the discontinued list for this year so it might be a good idea to pick him up before it starts getting a bit more difficult to come across him. He has potential for some great looking shading, too. Nice pics of Trooper, also! He's such a cute guy

[Blossom Birchwood]

Thanks for the heads up for Hickstead. There's only 1 at my fleet farm, but with no money I'm stuck sadly. Maybe I should hide him behind the other 6 Troopers they have lol? I'm kidding, but thanks for the compliments on my pictures!

[grapejuice]

Marking for future reference; I love Breyers, and when I go home for the weekend, I'll be sure to list my whole collection. In the meantime, I'm loving some of your models<33 Trooper certainly is a handsome boy ;u;

[Blossom Birchwood]

I wonder if we can make breyer shows with prizes on here?

I know of a couple of people who have him on Instagram, both from breyer stores in the US but they both said they were hidden at the back of the breyer area which makes me think few have escaped earlier than planned.
