Second Post of the day
A Gambler's Choice of Appaloosa, buckskin, and pinto, I was hoping for the Appaloosa. My heart leaped when I saw Outlaw's box cover,
But a gold sticker affixed to the bottom corner sank those hopes.
My outlaw was the pinto, the version I wanted least.
Sculpted by Bob Schriver for Breyer's Artist Series and first released in 1985 as a Spanish Barb, the mold is known for its tippiness. In fact, I sold all of mine years ago - I got tired of picking all my Buckshot models up only to have them go down again, often knocking into other models on their shelves.
I half-heartedly looked into trading my pinto for the Appaloosa (or even the buckskin) but discovered that the Appy seems to be the most sought after of the three. I've decided to keep mine in his box for safety and store him with a couple of other models in my closet that are there for similar reasons.
As usual, the extra information sheets that are always included went into my Vintage Club binder.
Outlaw is the third offering for the 2024 Vintage Club (Scorpion, the nightlight Kirk, and Outlaw) plus we have already received the bonus Stablemate, Felix. Hobbyists, including me, are wondering what the fourth piece will be. A possible clue was posted on Facebook by Breyer yesterday.
But this notice was removed quickly after it was posted. The link disappeared and would not work for those who tried it (or saved it and tried it later.) There is also a discrepancy in which year these models are intended for - the text says 2024 but the date in the photo says 2025.
So, is this for VC members this year and coming soon, or will we need to wait? Hopefully Breyer will answer that soon. Along with, what is the fourth model and when will it be released?
Staying 'tooned on this one!
