Bent legged Breyers

Subject: Bent legged Breyers Mon Sep 12, 2022 3:43 am

I found this guy yesterday while out with my sister. I think the ID is right; he has an ASPCA stamp on his belly which is pretty telling. Too bad the dog and cat weren't still with him! He's Traditional size.

Too bad he has some rubbing, the paint job is nice. I like the crisply defined white markings.

Congrats, that a cool find! Always exciting to find Breyers second hand! He's a lovely color, it looks like you got the ID correct. :)

I'm not sure where you found the name Commander Riker for this model, but you're right about the ASPCA set. You can see him on this page, about halfway down : [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

The dog from that set if it's the one I think you mean is pretty rare so I'm sure the horse is too! Very Happy

Name changed to Cody. The link I clicked on with a quick web search showed the whole set, but called the horse Commander Riker. I don't remember what the site was, just a quick search for 'Breyer ASPCA Quarter horse'.

Rogerio, I really don't know. I just enjoy hunting figures.

Do ever use Identify Your Breyer? It's an excellent resource for just that. Cody I think is the name of the mold itself - I don't think the ASPCA horse was given a name (not that it matters!).

EDIT: Just kidding, Cody is not the mold name but one of the first releases on the mold, along with Hank and Buster: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

I just found several old cheap Breyers, most with bent legs. Took a chance on them since they were cheap. Traditional sized, one a foal. (The Classic's legs are fine) So hot water is the best thing then? How best to set it? Thanks!

Wonderful addition,congrats!!!

I haven't had time to try anything yet. This is the batch, $10 for all of them it was worth a try. All except the Quarter horse stud can stand unassisted, it's 1 leg bent on each.

I am curious to hear what works for you... I fear for mine still in storage. What a Face

Nice lot for that price, I hope you're able to get them back into shape! Man o' War is such a handsome old model.
