It was Obvi

Of course the Sunday Raffle model is Geronimo;

A tasty paint job, too. Rather reminiscent of some past Auction Models. Palomino paint has been a raffle model for the second time in a row now. I am quite pleased with it, too! I love palomino. Throw in nice chrome and some little (or excessive!) paint markings and I might drool a little. (Remember C'est Bon?) However, I'm not going thrill-crazy over this model because of a few reasons;

1. The topic I discussed in the last post is still bothering me
2. If I could only win one of the three raffle models I would pick Cinza
3. He was no surprise; we all knew what he was going to look like, so he didn't have the WOW that he should have had


I am happy to point out Breyer's kind of MAJOR goof up;

"Areia is on the Geronimo mold (#733) first introduced as the first horse of the 2015 Premier Club. He is a dappled, sooty palomino overo pinto and his coloring reminded us of the exquisite white sand beaches of Brazil hence his name."

Really Breyer? This seems pathetic. Although if he had been the first Premier model of 2015 he would be a great choice for this role, so perhaps they're trying to convince us that he is from 2015. It could just be a mistake, but again, conspiracy theories!!! Perhaps they just don't want to address the fact that people haven't even received the original Geronimo yet and they've already announced another model on the mold. Perhaps they're brushing it off with an intentional mistake that most others will just brush off with a "Dumb ole Breyer... Geronimo's from 2016, not 2015... duh." and move on. Not write a blog post about it.  I actually don't think anyone else is going to care, (more or less, excessively) about this matter. But I know that no one really acknowledges my little blog over on blog spot, either, and that's that. I'll leave the matter behind by saying that the model 'Areia' actually strikes the most resemblance to, right off the top of my head, is Truffles;

Smutty Dapple Palominos with blue in the eyes and paint markings. And both are extremely limited Breyerfest models that have appeared in the past two years. Sure the paint-marking-styles are different, but whatever.  Truffles did go over well last year. As did C'sest Bon. And the Geronimo Mold. However, on a funny point, unlike Areia's 'off side' photo, Truffles is not as mustangy-flattery:

 In fact it kind of looks like he noticed some chocolate on the stall floor that his eyes are bugging out at. This photo does not prevent him from being adorable though. In fact, it might make him more so.
