Yesterday a surprise materialized on Breyer’s website - six unannounced new Traditional models! And what a treat for vintage mold lovers as the ‘youngest’ mold used is from 1990. The Breyer Breeds (Series? Collection? Whatever it is?) includes a Warmblood, Sporthorse, Thoroughbred, Trakehner, Quarter Horse, and Percheron.
Of course, most of the horses have a green “NEW” sign covering part of their heads, lol. When you click on their images you can see them without the green sign on Breyer’s website and from different angles. I will be doing individual posts on each model. I ordered the Quarter Horse and the Percheron, and later heard that there was a pricing error with the models. They were initially listed on Breyer’s website at $34.99 but were quickly changed to $44.99. I also ended up buying my third Mane Beauty (the grey named Daybreak), who was still on sale, and I used the CLUBPLUS22 code which took a couple more dollars off the sale price. That’s a good enough reason to buy one, right? Of course the answer is yes! I find it an intriguing concept that Breyer chose to use vintage molds. It will be interesting to see how well these models go over with collectors, and if we’ll see another set of Breyer Breeds in the future (I sure hope so!).
