Breyer's Collectors Club Fall Exclusive, Antonia, has arrived. I almost passed on her, and I am so glad that I did not. She is lovely.
What a lovely head and the paint job brings out her pretty features.
I'm not a pinto lover for the most part, but I do like her in this colorway.
We've come a long way since Breyer's plain, black dot eyes (with eye whites in the earliest days.)
Those eyes are very realistic.
I am so glad I changed my mind and decided to get her after all!
Short post today as there is a lot going on including two early morning MRIs. (6:00 AM? What was I thinking? Oh well, I'm not a fan of MRIs so at least they will be over before my day really gets started.)
More tomorrow, so stay 'tooned!
You're right, she has great eyes. A far cry from the plain black dots!
ReplyDeleteThis name takes me back to my college literature courses and Willa Cather's great novel My Antonia. The book gives the pronunciation: AN-toe-nee-ah, all syllables equal with the stress on the first one, like the word Majesty.
