Hahahaha, had to put in a song reference from the B-52s’ 1989 album Cosmic Thing.
A few days after debuting VC Julius, Breyer released the first model of the 2021 Stablemates Club. It is Atticus, the miniaturized version of the traditional Clydesdale stallion (mold #80). He has been given a new mane and tail; plaited no more, he can now be a happy hippie.
I tend to favor matte finishes, but lately there have been some glossy temptations running about. Atticus is one of those. He was the first SM advertised for the 2021 club, and was a must have. Later it was announced that Atticus would be the matte/glossy split, so I need both finishes. Since I ordered Julius straight away, I am holding out on ordering Atticus. I may order him with Lafayette (if available before Atticus’ ordering deadline) or if the stars shower stardust on me, a Puffin off the waitlist. Hopefully I will be able to combine shipping on some of these models.
Update: I have checked Julius’ shipping status. He is in Illinois, has been there for a few days, and presumably will remain there for a few more with the weather and all. I probably should have just waited to order him, but impatience took center stage...
