Breyer Blossom

Breyer has some new classic-sized models and is currently doing a series with them called Blossoms. Some of the molds are the new ones; others are the old-style classics (most of those are ick!!) There are twelve in the series, and they have a "flower of the month" motif.

Unrealistically colored horses with flowers sprinkled on their backsides? Not my style. But... I do like the August one with poppies. It has that gorgeous root beer coloring Breyer occasionally puts on a model, and poppies make me think of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and students who love books. It's on a new mold (which I like), and it's my birth month.

So... I took the plunge.

I'm not overly fond of the red mane and tail, but the rest of the color and detail is nice (a glossy and eyewhites!) so I am pleased. ($25)
