(It is getting repaired tomorrow. At least, that’s what I’ve been told.)
Reeves, seriously, what’s going on in your office?
The e-mail you sent out about the new Winter Decorator Special Benasque announced it as a “New Test Color”. Umm, no.
Why are you calling his color “electric blue filigree” when you have another perfectly fine name for it – Copenhagen Blue? Is it actually different in some way – with iridescent, metallic, or purplish undertones? We know better than to trust your photos…
And speaking of photos, you even misspelled the name Benasque as “Banasque” on the photo. Normally I’d not even give this a mention because I mangle names all the time when I’m saving photos, because spellcheck can’t save anyone’s behind there.
But as I was pulling a copy of it from their web site all I could manage to mutter from underneath the pile of blankets, quilts and sweatshirts I’m currently residing under…
“… and that, too? Cripes!”
At the very least, the nitpicky distractions of this new Duende have kept me from fixating too much on the Scottsdale Stampede Table Centerpiece Model Peplum.
The Camilla/Foalzilla mold doesn’t move me either way, but they just had to paint her Turquoise with copper veining! I figured they would do some sort of Turquoise-themed SR, but I assumed it would be the Stablemate or maybe one of the Event Specials. You know, something in the neighborhood of affordable.
Alas, no.
Before I was a Breyer Collector, I was a pretty serious Rockhound. I still am to some degree, though I rarely go so far as to buy rocks, minerals or fossils outright. Part of the reason why I took a Metalsmithing class several years ago was because I wanted to incorporate some of my favorite specimens into art and jewelry.
I am too cheap and not terribly lucky, so Peplum is not going to happen. All I can hope for is that she might be a precursor to other (more affordable) rock and mineral-themed* Breyer Decorators in the future.
Not just Alabasters, but I’ll settle. Benasque would be nice, too. I love how his mane looks like icicles!
(*FYI: for a variety of reasons, I don’t do Stones.)

As a life-long Breyer collector and a life-long Arizona resident, it makes me sad that they didn't do an event that had open attendance.
All the big events are back east and we finally get one in Arizona and they didn't make it affordable or accessible. That makes me sad. I mean, I've been a Breyer collector since before Reeves International even came into the picture. It would have been nice to have been able to attend. :(
