Speculation seems to think the Special Run is a Buchiko-style extreme sabino on the Lonesome Glory; if that’s the case, I am intrigued. I’ll talk about it after they do the reveal later in the week, since I doubt I’ll be able to de-blenderize the photo any better than anyone else has at this point.
We do have a much clearer picture of the Red Roan Clydesdale Test Run, and golly he seems familiar:
Vintage mold + Red Roan + Blue and Silver ribbons (my stable colors) = Yes, I want.
As always, I am mildly amused and annoyed by the general community commentary about his desirability (or lack thereof) and the price.
These are actual Vintage Test Colors used for the actual testing of colors, and they have a rock-solid provenance: these are both qualities that many collectors find inherently desirable – regardless of the age of the mold, the color or condition.
And the ones that have been resold (the majority of them, sigh) have sold for significantly more than their $850 price tags.
The fact that he’s been used as part of a graphic on the Breyer web site makes him even more appealing to me personally, because you know how fascinated/obsessed I am with owning Photography Samples. You know, like my delightfully horrifying Mariah’s Boon:
Regardless of my feelings toward the Clydesdale, whether or not he’ll ever get to sit on the shelf next to my Jugga-thello is not up to me.
My tax bill says I shouldn’t even enter for him at all, but I’ll just cross that bridge if and when I come to it.
