Mid-year Stablemates and True Blue Exclusive Models Reveal

 

OooooooooOooooooooooo! Breyer revealed six new Stablemate singles, and I want them all!





Really excited for the Cantering Morgan/Charleston and the Irish Draft/Corbin molds since this will be their first regular run releases. And mini Alborozo...who is NOT a unicorn! I don’t mind him as an Albycorn, but it’s really nice to have to have him as a non-unicorn. He will be a good mini-me for Alejandro, a mulberry dapple grey on the Gypsy Vanner swap-a-part mold (please see Identity Your Breyer’s page on the Gypsy Vanner mold if you are unfamiliar with this). Here is Alejandro:






Here is a fuzzy photo of the new (non-unicorn!) Alborozo:






The Breyer True Blue event models have been revealed. I conga three of the molds, and I do like the colors /patterns (where applicable) Breyer chose for all of the molds. 






I find it interesting that Breyer chose to use the no blinders/no hat version of the Old Timer mold. The no blinders/no hat version first made an appearance as a ‘Warehouse Find’ in 2013-2014. This version was available in glossy palomino and a grey blanket Appaloosa. I am fine with the no blinders, but Breyer should have given the Old Timer a hat. I mean, he’s wearing a harness to go to work; he needs a proper hat. Old Timers need their hats. Period. Looking forward to seeing these models in hand!

  1. I’m not entirely sure I like the colors on the Irish Draft or Standing TB but I will probably get both since I conga both. Lol. The Irish Draft has the same color as Pay n Go the Hanoverian released in 1980.

  2. He is a little Pay N’ Go, isn’t he? I thought the Irish Draft’s paint job looked familiar, but couldn’t place it. My brain has become so bad Zombies pass it up!
