Lololololol, really have to *love* these lame titles. The Zenith we’re reaching for here happens to be a 2019 Web Special unicorn. This unicorn was done on the Classic/Freedom Series mold # 642, known as the Show Arabian. Introduced in 2008 as part of the ‘Best in Show’ series, the model came on a presentation base and had a mohair mane and tail, reminiscent of the early RRH (remade, repainted, haired) customs. Haired models have largely fallen out of favor, but a few decades back it was an integral part of customizing models. Happily, there is renewed interest in collecting these early customs as they are a part of the history of the model horse hobby. I personally like seeing the evolution of model horse customization— oh how far we have come over the years. Oh right, nostalgia later, unicorn NOW.
Zenith is worth gossiping (hahahaha!!!) about due to her color. Although she is certainly not the first ever purple unicorn, her purple is dark and muted compared with most Breyer unicorns. She has some pink on her, but it is a toned down shade to blend with the purple and gold. The gold on her is more subtle and not a screaming blingy statement. She has gold hooves, a gold horn, and some gold in her mane and tail. Her horn is a darker shade of gold than the gold used on the rest of her. Oh, and no glitter.
Until next time, keep looking out for unicorns!
