New Breyers 2021

Yesterday was a happy day! I've got two beautiful Breyers delivered! I am thrilled!!
The drafter Theo is a chunk!! And the new bay classic Morgan looks like a pony at his side...

Oh wow, congrats! I'm in love with that draft horse.

Thank you! I am very happy!! Actually I didn't want any large models but who could resist...

OH, Breyer made a hippo!
Kidding, I think it is the heaviest looking draft horse figure I've ever seen. What an impressive Ardennais! Really, poor Morgan,
They are both very beautiful and your pictures are a joy to watch.
It is good to see Breyer having some enthusiasm again.

Congratulations Shanti
You got exactly the two models , which I also like and think to get. Especially the drafter .
It looks really nice :)

Wow, rely a stunning draft horse He actually reminds me of the 1:18 draft horse made by Brigitte Eberl on the WIA site at Modellpferde versand

Theo was sculpted by Brigitte Eberl as was the WIA Drafter. The WIA drafter is a miniature version of the Resin Edition "Gustav" long sold out. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
Theo and Gustav are looking very similar in a way but are different models.

Two gorgeous horse models

The picture of the two together is priceless, - both are SO beautyful, even if they are so different

Stunning horses- Breyer amaze me so much, because year after year they always bring out horses of such high quality!
What a wonderful pair!

Absolutely wonderful heavy horse!!

I haven't mentioned in my post but when I saw your pictures I thought immediately about the similarities of the model with the WIA Gustav, so it is interesting to read your posts. They are sculpted by the same artist so I think it explains why they look somewhat similar. Thanks for all information.

I really like the sculpt for Theo, but I'm not so sure about his paintwork, it looks to have a very metallic sheen in some photographs and not others. Yours looks fine, but others seem so pearly I'd be put off wanting him. I can't tell whether this is because some people's pictures pick up on it, and others don't, or whether the models themselves vary a lot - Breyer can have a lot of difference between one batch and another.

The little morgan is adorable, though, I love the alert expression and gently windblown tail

Theo has this metallic sheen a bit pearly. If I would collect OF I wouldn't have bought him. But since I'd like to repaint him some day for me this is ok. I really don't understand Breyer with all this pearly and metallic sheen...

The Morgan is a very nice mold! :)

Ahh, yes, he's very tempting for repainting, I don't do scary big ones (SM to CollectA is my comfort zone) but I could see him as a dark dappled bay, or a liver chestnut roan! I'm new to the forum so I'm not sure what's where yet but I hope you'll show us once you've given him his new coat

It's quite funny, I review Breyer releases on my blog every time there's a new batch or regular runs, and it's got to the point where some of them just get a deadpan 'metallic' or 'pearly' from me and all my friends know I'm sick of describing in detail why I hate that in most paintjobs and how sometimes it's just wrong (I mean, pearl hooves! Hooves! At least stop at the bits which can't possibly be metallic, hahah)

I love Theo! There was a period of time in the mid 2000's where I just wasn't crazy about most of the new models, but this newest wave in the past few years, gosh! He's so handsome, I can't wait to see him in person someday, congrats!

(I confess, I like the pearly/metallic sheen on quite a few models, but it definitely isn't terribly realistic.)
