The latest Sneak Peek from Breyer wasn’t a square, but a strip:
Okay, it’s a red roan something. That part obviously was figured out. But the part I didn’t figure out was this:
That would be how to fit the Astrid/Norwegian Fjord Mare into the BF lineup. Many of us suspected that this mold would be included in this year’s BF, and Breyer drew on the good old Brothers Grimm for inspiration. She is a red roan Sport Pony paying tribute to Rapunzel, whose story was recorded by the Brothers Grimm and published in their 1812 book, Children’s and Household Tales. The original release on this mold had the roached mane, but Rapunzel has a long mane and a braid to be Rapunzel-y I guess. Her mane looks a bit awkward; it looks like the lower half of it (past the window mane) is swoopy:
There is a lot going on with the long mane, lol. I sure do want to acquire her, wild or tamed mane. Rapunzel is priced at $60 and there will be 2,400 pieces produced.
