A Sneak Peek Reveal and a bit of a deviation...oops!

It's Wednesday so we all know what that means.  Are you excited?  hahaha.  I didn't think so.

Anyway...

Breyer did a rather quick Sneak Peek to Reveal this week.  It was only shown on Monday and revealed today.  Maybe that's standard...I don't remember.  Sometimes we have to wait more than two days so it can be confusing.

So, on Monday Breyer showed us just a tiny square...

A lot of people were convinced it was Corbin, the new Irish Draught SM...I just sat back and laughed and all the people who were so certain.  But you know what?  They were right.

Give a warm Irish welcome to our BreyerfFest Fling! Pop-up Souvenir Shop Stablemate model, Eire!

Eire is Irish for "Ireland" and has been derived from the name Eriu, the ancient matron goddess of this incredible island nation.  Inspiring visions of rolling green hills, this eye-catching Irish Draft, mold #5740 sculpted by Eva Rossiter, has been done in green on a clearware model, with a shimmering gold interference and Celtic knotwork shamrocks on both hips.  And if that wasn't enough, this handsome fellow has been topped off with a high-gloss finish.

We hope this stunning little fellow will get your Irish eyes smiling!

I have Corbin and I like the mold so I would like to conga him, but I'm not so sure about a green clearware with shamrocks.  At least it's just one shamrock on each side rather than all over, but I don't collect decorators that aren't a realistic pattern.  I might buy him, though, because he's a clearware, which is kind of neat.  I still have some time to decide.

But that brings me to an "issue" I have.  Space.  I am in serious lack of it, but I'm having a mind-set right now where I want to BUY BUY BUY.  Stablemates aren't a huge issue, it's the bigger ones.  The Traditional size and, to some degree, Classics.  But mostly Traditionals.  I have several that are still in their boxes because I have no room to display them.  I probably would if it weren't for my other passion: Pusheen plush.  Don't know who Pusheen is?  Are you living under a rock?  Hahaha.  Pusheen is an internet sensation that is based on a real cat.  The cartoon version is an overweight grey tabby who really likes food.  Food of all kinds.  She was owned by the family of the cartoon cat's creator Claire Belton.  People who are fans of Pusheen can be amazing.  Guys and girls of all ages and nationalities love this cat and the "fun" people take their plushies out and take pictures...

In addition to plush, there's also merchandise such as shirts, water bottles, a quarterly subscription box and office supplies...

But the larger plush tend to take up a lot of space, too, so my collection of plushies fight for shelf space with my models and if I hadn't fallen down the Pusheen plush hole, I would have more room for horses.  hahaha.  Like with my models, though, I have become more picky about the Pusheen plush I buy.  They come in a variety of sizes from about 2 inches to...I think 2 feet tall.  I don't have those jumbo ones, though.  I wouldn't mind one, I just am not willing to spend the money on one.  Anyway, I try to only buy the 6 inch or smaller ones.  And like Breyer, they come out with new plush quite frequently and like Breyer, I don't have the desire to collect them all, space issues aside.  So I only buy the ones I really like and try to wait and see if it comes out in the "clip" size, which is the 6 inch ones.  It's called a clip because there's a clip on it that you can use to attach to a bag or backpack.

Boy, this blog post took a different direction.  I could talk for quite awhile about Pusheen, but this blog is about model horses.  hahahaha.

I guess I will end this here, then.  If anyone is still around, thank you.  Til next time.
