May 2024 Odds n’ Ends

 




The April Collector Club newsletter is out and about. The newsletters always come out at the end of the month and I was unable to get this post up before April ended. I was happy to see that the feature story this month focused on Bloaties! I have a few of them, some of which are natural bloaters and some which have been purposefully bloated. Need to do a post on those models soon. Quick mentions were made in the newsletter for the Spring releases, Gilded and Picante, and for Zayn, the Collector Club Classic/Freedom series gambler’s choice. 


April’s monthly giveaway model is Chadwick, a glossy palomino on the Emerson/standing thoroughbred mold. Chadwick was a Collector Club special run in 2022:





Of course we were shown a Sneak Peek square of a soon to be released model:





 Hmmmm…notice the black is slightly lighter in color on the left side, leading one to believe it may be a glossy model. Guess we shall simply have to wait and see! 


The Collector Club event, Spokes and Spurs, is being held in Oklahoma City, OK this weekend (May 3-5). Speaking of waiting and seeing, I am looking forward to viewing the photos of the special run models. 


Also occurring on Saturday (May 4th) is the 150th running of the Kentucky Derby. I have not followed racing in forever, and am hoping everyone stays safe and sound. I do like to look at the photo galleries of the women’s Derby hats, and this year we may see some exceptionally outlandish ones due to the anniversary. 



 


Breyer’s Marketing and Ecommerce team has a part time paid summer internship available. Details can be found here.


Breyer has also extended their VIP ticket purchases through May 12th. So if you were on the fence about purchasing VIP tickets, you have a little more time to decide. I suppose the VIP ticket sales were lagging.





I think that is all for now… if more tidbits crop up, we’ll see a part two for May!
