Hahahaha, look who has migrated back to the blog for the 2022 releases of Breyer’s Birds of a Feather Series! It’s our favorite still shot from the movie The Birds returning to continue the fun. Run run run, the birds are catching up! I would love a glossy, solid black model representing a raven, but that’s not going to happen. Puffin is already a glossy, mostly black model, and a solid glossy black would be considered too simplistic a paint job. Lololol, I should do my own models-as-birds series. A raven for certain, and a flamingo would be entertaining (neon pink, y’all). Or maybe just black (or mostly black) birds? A Palm Cockatoo, red-winged blackbird, etc.
Ahem, getting back on track here to 2022’s first web special. The fifth model in the Birds of a Feather Series is Cardinal (#712440) and is described as Breyer as having a “rich auburn coat that pops against his gleaming white stockings.” The Shannondell/Shire Gelding mold was chosen to represent the Cardinal, so he is gonna be one of the super popular models from this series. There is a lottery for the opportunity to purchase Cardinal, who is priced at $185 plus shipping and handling. Cardinal is a run of 500 pieces, which is an increase in the production number compared to previous models in the Birds of a Feather series:
Puffin (#712383): 380 piece run
Goldfinch (#712384): 380 piece run
Crane (#712385): 375 piece run
Meadowlark (#712386): 375 piece run
I’m glad that the run numbers have increased; more pretty ponies to go around!
The email announcing Cardinal:
