The BreyerFest 2024 Quagga

It's never good when a box arrives looking like this.

And with only that odd, honeycombed paper wrapped around the model, I was worried that the contents might be damaged. 

Fortunately, my Quagga was okay.

When this mold first came out as a Zebra, I passed it over.

But then the candy striped Christmas Zebras came out and I was all in - I have all four and love them.

I don't have Coal, the black one, but I'm fine with that. (Photo by Breyer.) 

What I'd really like, and did try to get at the time, was the BreyerFest 2015 Caves of Lascaux. (Photo from Identify Your Breyer.)

Having missed him and regretted it, I tried to get the Quagga this year but did not.

Fortunately, there were some available in the Second Chance Sale and I snagged one before they all sold out.

Those white stripes are such a brilliant white that I wondered about them being chalky. Look at their color compared to the white on his legs. But how would Breyer do that? Regardless, I like the effect.

I'm still waiting on the Indian Pony from the Second Chance Sale. Somehow, it got hung up in shipping but it is on its way at last. And I still need to get together with Barn Buddy Kelsey to pick up the BreyerFest models that Liz gave her at Marilou's show. It's not Kesley's fault that our schedules have not aligned; it's mine. 

I don't mind waiting, and besides, that gives me something to look forward to - new models and chatting with Kelsey. It's gonna be fun!
