The fourth release in Breyer’s Wild Animal Series is Baruti, patterned after a Gemsbok antelope. I guessed the mold wrong (Cigar), but I got the breed right (Thoroughbred), so that kinda sorta counts for something, right (even if it is a tiny tiny something)? Baruti is on the Carrick/Walking Thoroughbred mold, and he looks quite dashing dressed as an antelope:
He is supposed to be basecoated, which should give the sandy tan of the coat a softer look and more depth. Baruti is limited to 300 pieces, and is priced at $195. Love the paint job, but not crazy about the price. Collector Club members may enter for this model through September 13, with one entry accepted per person. While I think he looks neat, not sure if I will be entering for him yet. His price plus shipping could instead be used to buy hairy vetch seed for cover cropping. Here’s some hairy vetch, because we all need purple flowers in our lives:
Now if Baruti had been on Duende or Georg, I would have forgotten all about cover crops…
Breyer is presenting a Halloween themed National Fun Day this year. It will be held as an in-store event at various retailers, as well as virtually.
Workshops and Artists will include:
1. Skeleton Stablemate with Janine Haq
2. Zombie Stablemate with Kristy (Kirsty? Breyer has both spellings on their website) Thiessien
3. Decorate Your Barn for Halloween with Lauren Hoeffer
4. Ghost and Candy Corn Costumes with Trinity Honaker
No information has been given in regard to how the virtual option will be handled, but I suspect it will be done in a manner similar to Breyer Bootcamp which was held earlier this year.
Oh, my second Stablemate Club Raider showed up today. I need to open the box and inspect him for any issues such as broken legs/ears as his tiny shipping box was a bit smushed…will try to do that later this evening or tomorrow morning.
