My BreyerFest items continue to trickle in. I got a shipping notice for WC Marc of Charm and I haven't yet completed the trade of my Tissili for the Seven Arts surprise yet, but when those two transactions happen, I'll be done.
Ansel confirms a trend that I have been seeing - Breyer is producing longer models. Maybe I notice it because I sew haversacks and these need a special fit, or maybe it's because my shelves are Ikea billy shelves and the longer models have to be placed at an angle.
A casual scroll through Identify Your Breyer showed eleven plus molds that have been introduced since 2010 and are in these longer poses.
I've been thinking about it for a while, but receiving Ansel helped me make the final decision - I am going to be offering a new sized haversack in Horsiemama's Haversacks & Mercantile that will accommodate these longer pieces.
I'm still experimenting a bit, but I think I'm almost there. It's wider by a few inches and shorter.
(Somehow I think I may be taking more than a few "breaks" to work on this new size!)
Someday I shall go into the rabbithole of speculating why the horses are getting bigger -- I think it's an increase in feminine and minority awarenesses and support -- but today is not that day.
