Vintage Club Admirał & Wings

Vintage Club Admiral and Wings were indeed in the unannounced box that arrived from Breyer the other day. (I love the new Breyer shipping box!)

 I am so pleased with this set. They are beautiful!

As usual, they came in a vintage style box.

The Saddlebred Weanling is not a favorite mold of mine, but it does look nice in this color.

Replicating that wedgewood blue color has not been easy for Breyer since they brought it back,

but I think they've got it now.

The 5 Gaiter is one of my top five favorite molds and is stunning in wedgewood pinto.

I conga the mold and Admiral is #28 in that conga.

The two pair nicely, but they also have a friend.

Josiah, a 2020 Vintage Club release, also in wedgewood pinto. You can see that his blue is just a little different from Breyer's current wedgewood color. (I prefer the current iteration.)

These three are going to remain on the shelf together for a few days - I like looking at the three of them together. Then I'll put them back in with their mold group where they will stay.

There are two more Vintage Club pieces to look forward to this year. Inferno was beautifully done, too. 

I'm speculating now, but Inferno came with a book and a retro blanket while Admiral came with a buddy. Will Breyer continue this trend of packing in extras? It is their 75th anniversary year and much of what they have been producing has been above and beyond the normal.

I hope so. And I can't wait to see what is next in the line-up.

Hold Your Horses, Breyer's on a Roll!

Goo-ood night!!  BreyerMidwest ended Sunday and already Breyer is busy sending out notices of new models. Three this week already and it is only Wednesday as I write!

The second 2025 Vintage Club release, Admiral and Wings, was announced today, and my jaw literally dropped when I saw it. (Er rather, THEM.)

The 5 Gaiter is one of my top five favorite molds and one that  I conga - I have 27 of them. (Soon to be 28, hah!)

What a surprise to be getting two Traditionals this time. And I love their color - that wedgewood pinto is beautiful.

Breyer had this to say about them:

I am wondering what that "unique vintage packaging" will look like. I ordered my pair as soon as I got the email and I can hardly wait for the set to arrive. Thank you, Breyer!

Breyer released Mallorca, another Exotic Destinations Web Special, on Tuesday.

I like that mold and I like the color. A lot of folks will be entering to be drawn for him, so my chances aren't high, especially since I did win Prague, the last Exotic Destinations model offered. Winning two in a row seems unlikely to me, but you never know, right? Fingers crossed!

The 2025 Volunteer model was released last weekend at Breyer Midwest. 

Its name is Salud (with exclamation points on either side of the name.) Two colors were handed out; speculation is that a third color will be revealed at BreyerFest.

Black is my favorite horse color (and has been since Breyer first released charcoal Family Arabs) but I think I actually like the grey better.

Speaking of black horses...

Nistar Blazing Kansas LOM and his dam, GTF Blazing Ethel will be present at BreyerFest. Unlike many of the guest horses, models will be available for purchase. (I already have the set. Like I said, I like black horses.)

Whew! Breyer is really on a roll this week. Not that I mind - I am excited at the prospect of new models to add to my herd.
