Beauty of Breyer

Some Breyer horses from my collection. Well mostly the mustang duo. :) Now for a picture overload! (I'm gonna edit the pictures..seems like Photobucket is not resizing them correctly..they are supposed to be smaller. D: Sorry! Will fix it..) (Okay I tried to shrink them but for some reason photobucket keeps blowing them up bigger then they are...weird..they are supposed to be around 800 X 600)

"Cotton-Eyed Joe" Named because it seems he has no pupils(though I think somebody tried to give him some at one point with a pen)

"Lemon-Drop" Named because he has severely yellowed over the years. Otherwise he's nearly mint! Shame.

"Casper" He's a VERY nice white color for his age. He has a few marks but very good for being 50+ years..

The Vintage Glossy Trio... Note how yellow poor Lemon-Drop is lol.

They are trick-trained to rear on command. :)

Stunning!

Gina, I see you drenched yourself in the purest Mustang spirit and you managed with these fantastic shots to invade us of drama and admiration for these heady figures!

Thanks!! I do adore them. Sorry about the size, I'm just cursing at photobucket right now. These pictures appear HUGE to me. I don't know about everybody else.

I forgot this guy! One of my favorites.

Ah, the figures are not big! They are perfect! The forum is configured to 800 pxls wide and that's the size you are posting. It is much better for me the large figures that you posted before than that last small one. Remember, 800 pxls wide, not more and everything is perfect!

Okay thanks! I guess my eyes are fooling me. And i'll edit that post with a bigger picture. :)

Oooooohhhhh

I woke up to a cold morning after a night where my critters had decided to wake me up every hour or so, ...and then I saw your pictures and got wide awake

Your pictures are fabulous, - those horses are BEAUTYFUL !!!!!!!

And the colours, - Roan, dun, Silver dappeled, - my favorite horse colours.

They are all marvellous, - but the one the really, really makes my heart jump is the dun mustang !
It is one of the most beautyful horse models I have ever seen

How old is he ( She) ? Please will you tell me a little more about him (her)?

Thankyou for sharing these awesome pictures

Sorry for all the work you had about the size, - but now you have the hang of it, it won`t be so hard the - hopefully - next many times you show us pictures

Wonderful horses!! Congratulations!!

Thanks everybody for the comments!! :)
Yes the dun(called grullo by Breyer) is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen. I remember when I first saw pictures of him. I had to have him XD. His name is Kanaretah. He was a mid-states special for 2011. You can find him on ebay and probably a few other websites. I got mine from ebay. He is a tad expensive. He ranges from about $60-$80 but he's well worth the price.
I hope to see Breyer introduce the mold into other colors. Perhaps even a bay dun!

Here's a link to ebay for him. Several of him!

Oh he's beautiful, could you share more photos of this one please?

You've got Alborozo! I'm so envious, he's my dream, but I won't get him, he's far too expensive.
Why Breyer destroyed this wonderful mold...?

Oh I agree. Breyer seems to hold back the best! It took me a few years go nab this guy. I eventually broke down and bought him for $150. An average price for him. Sad! I would have loved to see him introduced into several colors. But no. They and to go and break him! ):

WHY on earth did they scrap this mould???? He's so beautiful, I absolutely love him - what a treasure

Harriet - Alborozo was a special model, a so-called Celebration Horse, sold only on BreyerFest 2008. There were only around 6000 pieces made in matt variant, about 30 in glossy variant as prizes in BF events, and one palomino, which until September 2011 was the record holder in the highest price payed for a model horse - the palomino Alborozo was sold for 13 500 USD.
But I still don't get why they destroyed the mold on purpose. There's a Celebration Horse every year on BF, and all other molds used for them are still in use or had been used earlier.
I'd also like to mention that Alborozo was sculpted by Brigitte Eberl, my favourite equine sculptor

Beautiful horses! I love them Great poses, colors, sculpting, everything, simply fantastic! Thank You so much for sharing them Pookyhorse It's pleasure to watch Your photos of these magnificent horses

In love with them all!!!!

Very nice :)
He was scraped because that was the deal made between Breyer and the artist. I like him but don't know if I would want him. Plus the going price for him is rediculous ! I would not pay that for a Breyer especially as so many are getting seam splits.
