Atticus has landed...

 I think this is a new record for the fastest time I've gotten something from Breyer.  I got an email on Monday telling me my SM Club model had shipped and would be arriving on Wednesday.  Then I got an email from UPS saying it was actually arriving TUESDAY.  As in, yesterday Tuesday.  I was surprised, but it was a happy kind of surprise, obviously.  So yesterday, my tiny little Breyer shipping box arrived.  I was almost as excited to see what the new boxes looked like as I was about seeing if I got the matte or glossy Atticus.  

So, I opened the outer shipping box and managed to slide out the new model box.  The inner box is almost as big as the shipping box so they fit in there pretty snugly...

It's pretty neat.  Not quite what I was imaging it to look like, other than the nesting part.  That's hard to explain.  The top fits over the bottom.  hahaha.  Like the old style boxes from the 1970s.  I guess I was hoping the design would look more like the old picture box, too.  Anyway, inside that box was the model, all wrapped up in bubble wrap...

I know the model is upside down, but the photo is not.  Just the model.  It doesn't really give away if it's a matte or glossy in there, so which did I get...?

The glossy!  I was more hoping for the matte, but I'm fine with the glossy.  He's in good shape.  No major or even minor flaws so my records stands at however many I've gotten from Breyer.  Of course, now that I've said that, my next one is going to be horribly flawed.  But I've said that before and haven't gotten a flawed model as a result so I might be okay.

So now for the disclaimer...this wasn't an "Official" unboxing.  I actually unboxed it last night and looked then did it again this morning to take pictures.  I could've kept quiet about it, but that just seems too deceptive, you know?  hahaha.

**Coming Soon** '90s Throwback

Grag your Trapper-Keeper (I had one with horses on it), some gel pens and put your hair up in a scrunchi because this decorator model is bringing the '90s back!  A vibrant mix of '90s themed colors in bright turquoise, purple and pink that's sure to make your inner '90s child free, like totally, excited ("like totally" was an 80s thing, not 90s).  With pearly white markings and a bold leopard pattern running down his body, '90s Throwback isn't afraid to stand out from the crowd.  An excited addition to our decorator series!

This will not be on my list of models to buy when it comes out.  I don't collect the mold nor do I collect decorators like this, which I've probably said a time or two.  hahaha.  Even if the colorway was on a model I DO collect, I wouldn't buy it anyway.  But that's okay.  There's others who would.  And something else just occurred to me...many of the references they used are from the 80s...Trapper Keeper.  Scrunchie.  "Like, totally".  All of those originated from the 80s.  I'm now officially offended they did that.  hahaha.  Not really, but come on.   

Now, some of you might be wondering what is so special about this particular model that I chose to feature it here even though it's not a Special Run or something...it's because it kept popping up everywhere as a recommendation, that's why, and I was getting tired of seeing it.  And speaking of being offended...I found a channel on YouTube called Half_and_bad_ass that apparently is trying to make a jump from Tik Tok videos to YouTube.  The girl who films the videos has a 2 1/2 year old spotted mule named Flynn and she lives in Norco, which is a very horse-centric community in Southern California.  She swears a lot in her videos.  Most swearing I don't really care about, but she's always saying "G*D dangit" (except not dangit) Flynn, don't do this or don't do that.  And the irony to those words she uses is that she calls Chik-Fil-A "God's Drive-thru" so she'll say "G*D Dangit, Flynn" (again, using the actual swear words) don't eat the Lord's bushes and stuff like that.  But why would I mention this in regards to being offended?  Because apparently Flynn is offended by EVERYTHING and she spends the entire video saying "Flynn is offended by this" and "Flynn is offended by that".    She also sings a lot and seems rather bossy towards her two friends that sometimes rides with her to whatever fast food place she goes to.  If you want to see some of the videos for yourself, here is a link to her YouTube channel.  It's fun watching them go to the different drive thrus, but I can do without her commentary and singing and different arms movements and such.

Today I watched a new-to-me shark movie.  It was called Oija Shark.  I've avoided watching it because the synopsis seemed really dumb, but today I decided to bite the bullet, so to speak...I should've just stayed away.  The acting was beyond horrendous.  BEYOND horrendous.  But Sharkie got to see one of his relatives so I guess that was okay...

Yes.  The shark is a spirit but can attack and eat people both on land and in water.  Great, huh?  Someone needs to get busy and make me some new mutant shark movies.  hahaha.

That's it for now.  Til next time!
