Due to my lagging behind, I didn’t get this Sneak Peek Square up before the reveal:
Kaleidoscope is on the Lipizzaner/Darwin Stablemate mold. He has a white mane, tail, and socks, gold hooves, and his body is a “rainbow resist splatter dapple on a pearly blue coat.” I cannot tell if his mane, tail, and socks are pearly from the picture. He is limited to 6,500 pieces and will not be available for back order. I think Kaleidoscope will look great next to Favrile:
Who will look great next to Pollock:
Hmmm...here is something interesting. I noticed on the Breyerfest ticket page that the Event 4 Pack of Stablemates is still showing as available. I popped them into my cart to see if they are still available for purchase, and indeed they are (I didn’t buy them as I have a full set coming as part of the VIP ticket purchase). Clearly the set wasn’t popular enough to sell out. It seems many people weren’t too fond of the mini Fighting Stallion’s color, along with the set being all decorator colors. Perhaps if half of the set had been done as realistic uncommon horse colors, more sets would have sold. While decorators have steadily increased in popularity in recent years, there is still a segment of the collecting population who collect only realistic horse colors (which is totally fine-collect what YOU want!). I cannot wait to see the purple Fjord (Avant Garde) in person as that is the one I want the most from the set. Yay for purple ponies!
