I was bouncing with joy when I saw the mold for this year’s Classic/Freedom gambler’s choice:
Meet Zayn, done on Maureen Love’s Arabian Stallion sculpture which will ship by random color. Originally sculpted for Hagen-Renaker, this stallion along with his mare and foal first appeared in Breyer’s lineup as a set in 1973:
The Classic Arabian Stallion mold was last used in 2015. Appearing as Julien (#712162), a bay tobiano, he was accompanied by Sophia, the Classic Arabian foal also painted as a bay tobiano. They were available as a Web Special and had a matte finish. The set was then available in a glossy finish for the 2016 Collector Club Appreciation Day event free with the purchase of $100 or more. The matching mare, Cosette, had been glossed as well and was part of the CCAD. The models were shipped randomly to participating collectors.
Zayn’s three color ways are as follows, starting with the chestnut rabicano:
The flea bitten grey with a bloody shoulder marking:
Lastly we have the glossy dappled red bay:
Zayn will be available to Collector Club members on a first come, first serve basis beginning April 25 with a limit of one Zayn model per Collector Club member.

I’m a big fan of glossy bays but this time I like the matte chestnut a little better. The chestnut color really highlights the soft expression of the face.
ReplyDeleteI love and want them all, but the chestnut is my favorite. Keeping my fingers crossed that I get the chestnut!
