Years ago I had a beautiful glossy alabaster Fighting Stallion. And foolishly, I sold him.
Look what just arrived! Isn't he beautiful!
His shading is gorgeous and he even has felt pad remnants on his hind hooves and tail. I am so happy to add this boy to my collection!
His Stablemate-sized counterpart also arrived.
This is the piece that those who joined the Deluxe Collectors Club received. (We are still waiting for the 2020 Stablemate as well as to hear what pieces are going to be offered to Vintage Club members.)
I have noticed that with the vintage molds that are shrunk down to Stablemate scale, their hooves are in better proportion to their bodies than many of the new mold Stablemates. I like that - one of the reason I don't collect Stablemates (Truly! I don't!) is the clunky hooves many of them sport.
That doesn't stop me from buying some of them. I just received the two Holiday Filigrees that I did not get when they were offered. Now I have the complete set!
The HO scale horses have also arrived. No have photos yet, but I'll get some taken and post them here when I do. Stay 'tooned!
Oh WOW!!!! That glossy alabaster Fighting Stallion is gorgeous! Congrats! I also really like the palomino shrinky version. I think Breyer did an amazing job on those. :)
