Just what the title says! Introducing Steele and Equidae!
Steele is a brick and mortar special limited to 2,500 pieces. He is on the Wyatt/Gaming Stock Horse mold. For those who may be unfamiliar the term ‘brick and mortar special,’ this means that this model may only be purchased in a physical store (usually a Breyer dealer). I am not too surprised to see the Wyatt mold, since he was one of my guesses for being the 7 Arts Surprise model for Breyerfest (Destado was my first guess). The time seemed ripe for a Destado or Wyatt appearance, and both have appeared. Destado was this year’s BF volunteer model, and now we have a new Wyatt release. Here’s Steele:
And the rainbow horse trend continues with the debut of Equidae, a rainbow pinto with horses hidden within his pattern. And not just any old horses, but breed specific horses. On his right side there is a Standardbred, mule, Andalusian, Shetland pony, and a Thoroughbred mare and foal. His left side has a Marwari, Shire, Kladruber, Arabian, Saddlebred, and Mustang. Equidae went up for orders yesterday through Breyer dealers and I believe the dealers’ allotment for this model was 18 pieces each…naturally he sold out in a blink, and I missed him. Being on the wildly popular Othello/Windsong mold, I’m sure he will be available at some point on Breyer’s website.
