There's some crazy rumor going around that American pharaoh will be at 'Fest'. I'm kind of just laughing in the corner. It would be a million kinds of awesome if he was at Breyerfest, but Breyer would have announced that a while ago if it was true. (telling the world sooner means more ticket sales over all).
On the topic of AP I'm getting really teed off at complete strangers. On the CC forums there's a discussion on why California Chrome should be a Breyer. I totally agree on the Chrome matter- I love that horse more than I love American Pharaoh- but some person posted something along the lines of this:
Yes, Breyer, please make an ACCURATE California Chrome model! And while your at it, make an ACCURATE American Pharoah model that isn't Resin or Porcelain!!!!
Can you say barf in my mouth? It's like no one saw the Sports Illustrator cover on which he looks exactly like the Ruffian mold. No one seems to realize that the Resin piece is just a more detailed version of the Ruffian, with tack and rider. It's the same pose, people. I'm seriously grounding my teeth together. First of all, Breyer is NOT making 3 Traditional scale AP models. Second of all, what do these people want? Breyer to scrape together a new mold just for him after they've released 5 other American Pharoah models in various scales, materials, and with custom tails? American Pharoah got his moment in the Breyer sunshine, it's over.
Fine fine I'll grow up now...
The next Stablemates Club model was released a few days ago; a yummy dappled grey G3 Warmblood. The Jane Lunger SMs are my favorites and I like Sylvester a lot. I'll order him later this week, possibly with another Collector Club Grab Bag.
Spose that's all. Net time- Shanonndell.
