Bay Paint Dark Horse Surprise:
So, I really wanted to do a different, more special model for the first Monday Model, but I didn't get pictures in time, and tonight ended up being busy. So I'll save him until next week ;)
This week, we have the 2018 Breyerfest Surprise model! I thought he might be fitting since we got the run numbers today. I did not attend Breyerfest, but had this guy picked up for me, and he stayed a surprise. I was initially slightly disappointed, until I saw his nice color and shading. And I was even happier today when I saw his final run number, as one of the more rare ones. This is a matte, and there were 575 of him produced. The other run numbers were: Palomino splash pinto-1050 matte, bay appy- 850 matte, bay pinto-575, flame decorator- 425, and most rare was black- 225. It would have been really neat to get a glossy of any color, but I actually really like this guy. He has very few flaws, and very nice shading. The only issue was the masking on his mane is a little messy on his left side, and has a fuzzy edge, but this sounds like a common problem. I'm hoping to be able to have it touched up. I also wish they had painted the bases dirt color! Maybe I can swap it for my Smarty Jones base if I need to.
I just had to get one of the palomino splash pintos as well, and he arrived today. I was happy with him as well, very very pretty!
Check back tomorrow for the first Off Topic Tuesday!
