Happy Breyerfest!

 

Breyerfest came up fast and I am sooooooo discombobulated due to the events of the past weeks. I had a family emergency and had to go out of town (roughly 1,800 miles from home). Upon my return I had to attend a meeting; the next day I was informed that an attendee had tested positive for Covid…and yes, I ended up getting sick. I had a slightly runny nose, a mild cough, and intense fatigue. Everything was an effort to do; I was in a constant state of exhaustion. Naturally *nothing* got done. My intention is to try to get the pre-Breyerfest blog posts up during the upcoming week. Nothing particularly new as I am running a few weeks behind, but I’d like to get them up for posterity’s sake.

I also heard the sad news that Cossaco has passed away. He was scheduled to appear as one of the guest horses for Breyerfest.  :(

The Surprise model is the Emerson mold! I totally did not see that coming, lol. Not sure of how many colors there are or what they all are, so that will be updated later. Okay then, everyone go and enjoy Breyerfest! Stay safe and hydrated!

Breyerfest 2022 Reveal: Surprise Model Hint and Fruit Leather

 

Ah yes, the ever popular Surprise Model hint has been dropped:

Rotating Draft…uhhhh, what? A merry-go-round? Lololololol. Naturally there are lots of guesses flying about, from different draft molds being offered to the physical pose (i.e., Bobbie Jo/Working Cow Horse mold is ‘rotating’), to different beers. Actually, the Draft Rotating Surpise wording is on a beer barrel. If Georg doesn’t show up as a special run or limited edition, I will be nervous that he will be the Draft Rotating Surprise. Which means I will need all the Georgs. Which means many other people will need all the Georgs. Which means a riot will ensue at the Kentucky Horse Park…oh, and the Rotating Draft Surprise models are priced at $85 each and will be a run of 7,500 pieces.

Breyer also gave us a Sneak Peek Rectangle of an upcoming reveal, and it looks like fruit leather to me:

The texture of the model is clearly visible, and many are guessing it may be a German flag Misty. I can’t quite tell if it’s clearware, but we’ll find out soon enough (the reveal is slated for today).
