The Addition of Charm

My Primrose came today- I ordered her on the last possible day because my other purchases left the wallet a little sad looking.  I'll say that Breyer got the packaging perfect: she came in an adorable blue satin bag.

Except she wasn't bubble wrapped super tight and her nose is all boogered up. But unlike everybody else, I'm not sending her back. She'd have to be split in half before I'd consider sending her back. I'm more forgiving than others with Web Specials/Stablemates from Breyer.com, and a few flaws don't chock up to me 'giving up' on a model. I'm lucky enough to be in the club and have a Prim Rose at all. She may have a boogered up nose and some smudgy spots on her blanket. But I have a few flaws, too. So, after the initial 'Ahh, bummer' she began to settle in quite nicely:

She'll be a shelf model. That's just fine.

 I'm also giving Breyer some slack because of  the obvious. It's an open ended run with an intricate paint job on a mold they haven't dealt with in years. And she's minuscule compared to the Web Specials, which at ten times larger, also have flaws. Let's face it: It's not a recipe for success. Things will get better. Let's consider this as a dress-rehearsal. Durango is a new mold with a more simple paint job. I think he'll be of better qaulity than Prim Rose dear. Practice makes perfect, and as Breyer's taught us, it's true. The more they practice the better they get. But they can't practice dapples on every single release they make. So we haven't reached perfection on some things. That's ok, too. Some times imperfection is just the addition of charm.

And yes, my accessible models are currently residing in an armoire.

Because it's better than a ping pong table.

goodnight~
