I forgot to finish the draft for this post and get it up in a timely manner. I have various unfinished drafts sitting around which I intend to finish and post, but time flees away from me as daily. On with the post then!
A glossy Bisbee was the second test run of the year:
Bisbee (# 1815) was a 3,000 piece 2019 Limited Edition in a matte finish. Breyer offered Collector Club members the opportunity to purchase the glossy test run Bisbee via lottery with entries accepted from April 17-21, 2024. Glossy Bisbee was priced at $1000 and a certificate of authenticity was included. Here are some photos of glossy Bisbee:
Naturally it is hard to tell from the pictures, but the gloss on the left side of Glossy Bisbee’s face doesn’t appear very thick. My Olaf, a 2016 Web Special on the Texas Longhorn Bull, has areas of skimpy gloss and actually has patches of no gloss. I hope this isn’t the case with Glossy Bisbee. I hope that her new owner loves her!

My Chadwick had very thin gloss on the upper part of his hind leg. It’s so thin that in certain lights it looks matte. The rest of him is fine.
ReplyDeleteIt’s a shame that the gloss is uneven on some models. I love the 1960s glossies - now those models had the gloss applied generously!
