A mama and baby SR are part of the Prost lineup! Elbe and Spree are named for rivers as Breyer wanted to highlight “some of the amazing geography of Northern Germany.” They are matchy-matchy as both are painted as red bay tobiano pintos, and are on the newly introduced Firefly and Hawkeye molds, aka as the Stock Horse Mare and Foal per Breyer’s Breyerfest Blog. We already have a Stock Horse Mare (mold #227) and a Stock Horse Foal (mold #228) which were introduced into the Breyer line in the early 1980s (1982 and 1983 respectively). I’m not sure why Breyer referred to the new molds by the names of the earlier molds, because that can cause confusion. When I hear Stock Horse Mare, mold #227 pops into my head. Maybe they will further differentiate between the two molds by calling Firefly the Standing Stock Horse Mare, and Hawkeye could be something like Sassy Stock Horse Foal. We’ll have to wait and see I suppose. Anyway, enough blathering and onto the pictures:
Elbe and Spree will be a run of 2,200 pieces and priced at $70.
Photos of Elbe and Spree are from Breyer’s website.*
I love these ones so much!
ReplyDeleteThey both look really nice-in fact, I think I like them better than their Premier Club release.
