I won't post photos or anything (it's not a great photo anyways, just part of the model's flank), but I will say it has grey/green clovers on it and appears to be a pinto pattern of some kind. The special is supposed to go live next week according to the website...but I'm not sure I trust Breyer's deadlines at the moment.
The retailer I pre-ordered my War Horse model from has been told THREE times that they will be getting their shipment "next week." What a pain! I am waiting not-so-patiently...at this rate maybe I'll have the model around the same time as the DVD (it comes out April 3rd and it will be mine!)
Back to the web special thingy. I will more than likely not be entering for this one either. The price will be a little on the high side, and I don't like most decorators. Can those of us in the club whose taste runs more toward the realistic coat colors please have some better options??? Seriously, so far they've done three CC exclusive models and they're all decos: Mount Tremblant, I'm Yours, and now this St. Patty's Day pony with clovers on it :P
real colors...please...and I don't really dig the holiday themes either...
I am also not a fan of random draw (though it's better than that awful phone-in thing they tried back with Alpine) because I seem to have rotten luck. I have been lucky enough to win one model, however, but not from Breyer. This is "Happy 2B Appy", a custom model I won from a little drawing on Elk Star Ranch Artwork's Facebook page. I never expected to win her (rotten luck) but I did. She's pretty cute and I'm saving her for the one live show I get to attend every year. Even though I *technically* don't collect customized or custom-painted models, I think I'll be keeping Happy forever, just because I WON her!
My Shetland Pony obsession has dimmed...a little bit. I just sent out payment for the Trick or Treat blue roan pony yesterday and am pretty excited to get him/her. I'm thinking I'll name all of them after food. Normally I think horses named after food are just a little bit...well, dumb and un-creative, but the names fit these fat little ponies too well (my bay has been dubbed "Truffles"). Now I have to think of one for the little blue roan (NOT Blueberry. I won't stoop that low)
