Interesting, thanks for sharing :)

Ooh is this UH's big announcement? So exciting!

Harriet sculpted the Exmoor!

I wonder, is the event here in Kentucky going to be held in coordination with Breyerfest? And do you need the "VIP" ticket to meet the sculptors?

Yeap - I get everywhere

Seriously thrilled about this! I already pledged. Love that cob - the bay picture has wonderful shading, and I love that black cob as well, but then I'm a sucker for that deep black coloring.

I'm Misty Star Studios.

What wonderful news! They look really nice - and happy to see Harriet's work there too!
The Connemara in both color - stunning! Finally a Connemara!

Surprising we've had an explosion of Connemaras this year - Croi Damsha from Breyer, a 3D modeled AR, and now this one

Oh amazing project!! And Harriet sculpted this wonderful Exmoor pony, what a beauty! All of them are beautiful!!! And that cantering Welsh aww, I'm in love

Ahh, Kitty Cantrell sculpted the Connemara. Of course

Did anyone notice Harriet's name in the video? Cuz I did. Congrats Harriet!

Yes ! Yes ! A CONNEMARA

I wish for a bay dun one

These models are going to be huge, aren't they ? 1:9 ?

Yes, traditional scale

This looks very promising I'm happy they're in Europe (as both Peter Stone and Breyer are USA based). I wonder where they'll be produced and their prize range  

Absolutely awesome to see Harriet have contributed to the line of molds So that was her secret project

I'm happy they're traditional sized, so that they can match with my other big models

Great to see a new competitor on the market, I wish them all the best of luck, and I'll definitily be getting some of those models

Oh, that's truly exciting! First Harriet's secret is revealed! It was killing me.
Then the concept is wonderful, I wish all the luck tho this project, hard to support in my current condition but I wish to find a way to do it.
Then, even before reading, I got impressed with the high quality of these sculpts, unless judging from pictures.
The concept of releasing British pony breed sculpts is interesting but in future, if project goes well, it will be hard to keep it in such a limited range.
Exmoor from Harriet will be my first wish from this brand, Harriet is our talented girl and that pony is fantastic! However, I find the Welsh cobe the most attractive of that trio. Good idea also with the scale, they will match Breyer traditional but this time made of plastic as I could understand. I hope Chinese produced figures won't be hollow. Looking forward to see how things will work.
Eh, I also hope that the fox related branding will have some visible consequence or I'll make a little revange and start a brand called the Planet of Horses and make only species of foxes.

Oh they will be hollow. The method plastic models are produced only allows them to be hollow, it saves a ton of money as this plastic can get expensive. And forget about the price of the molds, those are thousands of dollars just for the mold!

Carola, they will be in the general price range of Breyers.

I've decided to pledge so I can get one, now, which one exactly? I can't decide! So excited for this line.

OK, it makes sense once they are very large figures. Thanks! :)

You're welcome

Thanks everyone

I'm pretty sure they will be hollow cast, like the breyer models, but I think they'll be even nicer than Breyer.

Thanks Harriet, I don't know how but I'll try everything to get one of your works, probably yours. I don't mind hollow figures as long as they give an impression of weight as it happens with Safari Wonders, I believe they won't be as heavy as Safari's but surely they will feel nice to touch. :)
Again good luck and if there is anything our community can do to help, just let us know.

Yes, I agree - I'd forgotten the Safari WW were hollow, but so they are. Thanks Roger

That's just fantastic   I feared they'd be Stone priced, but luckily they're not    I actually hope this new brand will kick some Stone butt, and walk along nicely with brother Breyer

Aha, so they'll be produced in China? Well that's probably the only way, if they want their models to be Breyer priced.

And regarding the heft of hollow cast models, such as Breyer, I do think they all still have a very nice feel of quality to them. If they were massive they'd be lethal Some Breyers, the bigger molds that I have, all are quite nicely heavy, I think, even though they're hollow.

I know it, I don't even consider Stone a competitor to Breyer anymore. Breyer has no need to be worried but Stone better watch out!!

Well said LeeAnn!

I'm so excited for this new line - that Cob is just...

Only a few days in and they are already at 7,400 pounds! I'm staying optimistic that others will pledge. I've already decided I'm acquiring that cob - probably the bay.

Thanks Harriet, that's a good news. A page to your company was opened on Toy Animal Wiki, as you can see [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], it is just the starting, feel free to pm me to tell me what needs to be changed or anything else to be added.

Only 6,205 pounds to go! Please pledge if you can and get Copperfox off the ground! Even one pound helps, you don't have to do the full package.

Almost there! Any STSrs pledging?

We have until the 5 th of January right? I am broke for his month, else I would have pledged - and I will when we cross the border to 2015 I NEED one of those new horses!

That's the deadline for them to have the money they need, but you're not charged until they make that amount. So you can pledge now but your credit card isn't charged until later.

I pledged! And thank you It's a nice way pledgers will first be charged when the deadline is. I really hope they'll make it

Which package did you get? Or the supporters pack? I did the one plastic but I really want to do three

LeeAnn wrote:

The Fennec Fox Package, because I want one of those models asap They look very good all of them, although I'm pretty sure I will chose the Exmoor.

How about you?

I'm not really sure yet, I love the Exmoor but the Connemara is really after me too

LeeAnn wrote:

You can 'just' pledge for the one that gives you two models

I wonder when they will officially hit stores for all people to get them, as they hopefully will eventually

Haha I wish it was "just!" If only

I'm not sure they'll be sold in stores necessarily, for sure they'll be sold through the UH website, and I've been speaking with Chelsea of Chelsea's Model Horses in Indiana and she hopes to carry them too. I hope she can be the US distributor!

It's so close .... just over £1200 to go!
We pledged last night - this is SO exciting

THEY MADE IT!!!

I haven't pledged once I am completely broke, though I want to share my enthusiasm and congratulate all that contributed and of course the mentors of this wonderful project!

Yes they made it!
Can't wait to get my model Approx March they say.

Wow, they raised over 30,000 pounds! My model will be an early birthday present to myself.

It is very well done by them! And we collectors of those big horses can be very happy!

Mine will be a just out of nowhere present to myself

Must have the Exmoor!

They posted some more sneak peeks and comparisons on their FB page [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] - official site, so no need to log onto FB

What's with the paint Welsh Pony? hmm - wondering how many colours they will offer for the pledgers to chose from, and of course when they finally release them
I so badly hope they are at least the same quality as Breyers, and hopefully they are a mix of Breyer and Stone regarding detail and neat paintjobs etc.
Oh! And i hope they have those lovely detailed eyes as the protos have!

Just SOOOO excited about this new brand! YAY!

I want them to make a grey shire mare for their future models! With a couple of braids

Paint welsh? There's a paint Connemara...

That one was in the original video and had me puzzled. I really like her! I hope we can choose that one.

Did you notice on the size comparison photo with the Schleich drafter that its eyes aren't painted?

Connemara of course My mistake.

Yes she was the one in the video. My guess is that the paint will be one that can be chosen

Yes, I did notice the poor Clydesdale with no eye Must be a factory flaw.... Certainly one of the worse...

I picked the SR Buckskin Connemara!

Blank Resin Welsh Cob coming my way

Ooh will you paint him yourself?
