Vintage Club Isabelle

Disappointed!

For the first time.

Ever.

In Breyer's Vintage Collectors Club.

I have three favorite molds: the Semi-Rearing Stallion, the 5 Gaiter, and the Indian Pony. Imagine my excitement when Breyer announced the old-style black dapple on the Indian Pony for one of this year's Vintage Club!

Here's what I was supposed to get:

 Isabelle, #712105, $135, #4 of four pieces of 2014 Vintage Collector Club pieces, September, 2014.

And here's what I received:

Some collectors are calling this a "lacy" variation, much like there is in the silver filigree and florentine coloring Breyer does. But, doggone it!! I wanted a black dapple that looks like the picture on the box!

Amigo - Vintage Collectors Club

Amigo arrived yesterday! He is #3 in the 2014 Vintage Collectors Club. (I have not regretted joining this club! Such gorgeous vintage pieces!)

 Amigo, #712104, Vintage Collector Club #3 for 2014, $135, 6/2014.

 There is a lot of depth and undertones to his coat - he a glossy charcoal with eyewhites.

And he came in a vintage box with some literature about the history of the mold and the real horse, Adios, who was born in Carmel, indiana in 1940.
