What Could it Be? || BreyerFest 2024 Surprise Model Speculation || "Surprise! Girls Run the World!"

[@StormyStrikeVideos]

Leave a like if enjoyed the video or are excited for BreyerFest! it really helps my channel out! Let me know your thoughts on what you think the surprise model will be!

[@emilyfloof728]

I’ll give some reasons why I didn’t consider some of your options. The Standing Quarter Horse Mare- Too young to be the suprise model (I cap at least 4 years old in order to be qualified, will be viable in 2025) Emerson- wasn’t used in the last year ( I only choose models that were used within the last year in order to qualify (outside of Breyerfest special runs)) Skipping Totalis since I have them Forever Sage- her odds actually decrease due to a test model Ruffian- hasn’t been used since 2021 Strapless and Justadream are being skipped since both ladies are there Andalusian Mare- hadn’t been used since 2022 Lippi Mare and Wyatt are skipped, But hey, we at least share a similar number 1 this time

[@clairescollection548]

Oh my goodness - I didn't even think of the possibility of being Wyatt! That's my favorite mold ever - I would be over the moon!

[@EolianWolf]

Desatado as a mare is super intriguing - I feel like that has a decent chance, it feels fitting for the overall theme

[@norastonedragon2673]

yay i have been waiting for this! thank you for making this it helps me decide if i want to risk spending money on that lol!

[@StormyStrikeVideos]

You're welcome! I wanted to make sure to get this video out before the Special Run preference forms go out next month in case it helps people make decisions on whether or not to gamble on the surprise!

[@icyside123]

This is the first time I’ll be attending Breyerfest virtually. I know it’s a stretch, but I’m hoping my favorite mold Bluegrass Bandit gets chosen 🤞

[@EolianWolf]

Oooooh I love Wyatt as the top pick!!! I think Wyatt, Croi, then Desatado as my top 3 picks. With a mare hammy being honorable mention 😂 Love that you do this video every year! It's always fun and well thought out, and it gets me hyped for BF! ❤

[@coyoteclockworkstudios3140]

*crossing fingers* C'moooooon Wixom! I am selling digitally at Breyerfest! I have a con that same weekend that I'll be selling at, so I wish I could hang out during Breyerfest but I can't. But I'm gettin' that rainbow zebra, the blue roan Fireheart, and the Surprise Model! Remember when Lonesome Glory was re-released as a mare accidentally? And all the idiots who already had the original Lonesome Glory were somehow angry and baffled that they'd wasted their money buying the exact same model again? Ah, model horse collecting. Susecion being tied down by her foal and denied a Surprise chance being pointed out during a feminist-themed Breyerfest is HILARIOUS. Well done!

[@morganwaterwell]

Totills, Ruffian, or Strapless would make me cry- THESE ARE MY THREE FAVORITE MOLDS EVER

[@EggzistenshalDred]

I’d LOVE to see the Arabian mare with her head lowered be a surprise. She’s one of my favorite molds, and I only have 1 from like 2015. I want to conga her so badly but all other molds are either special runs, auctions, or just so limited and hard to find with a reasonable price. I was going to go to Breyer fest this year (more so a very strong idea) but I think I’ll go next year. Can’t wait to see what everyone attending will be taking home !!

[@mrbobbysmodels5338]

Your speculation videos are always some of my fave videos on YT! I feel your guesses are pretty strong this year❤

[@plasticponycollector]

Ughhhh if they use Wyatt I’ll cry 😭 my complete obtainable conga will be ruined! 🤣 but I do remember someone on Facebook saying they were suspicious at the lack of stock horses in the BF model line up this year… which makes any stock horse mold maybe a stronger possibility of happening?? I honestly would not be surprised if weather girl makes an appearance for us. I really think Breyer has a strong possibility of throwing a curve ball our way this year and released Picante to throw us all off! Butttt. My gut is still really leaning towards the Arabian mare/oasis! I couldn’t tell you why, but I just think she would be a really cool surprise model!

[@fabricatedreality8218]

Bobby Jo and Ashquar are my favorite molds. 🔥

[@Tuxedo_Trouble]

You know I just connected the name is based on the Beyonce song Run the World

[@theoldgreyfilly]

Ive been saying Wyatt all along. The lippizan mare is also a possibility given the new Premier Club stallion that came out last year, and is in the sr line for this year

[@myrliegirl]

We just got a new lippy stallion. I want the mare variations. The one thing about lipizzaners is they don't have as many color combos to go into realistically so fun colors for breyerfest would be something special.

[@3DOBot]

Watch it be Wixom. But an absolutely well painted Wixom since Breyer is probably aware a lot of people hate it. XD

[@annelarsen100]

I was really hoping for Silver this year.

[@StormyStrikeVideos]

He's so popular I wouldn't be surprised if Breyer uses him anyway this year or some other year!

[@plasticponycollector]

Silver did get used as a mare the ONE time in 2016 as the deco pegasus SR, and he would be AWESOME, but I would cry 🤣 my conga!!! 🤣🤣

[@StormyStrikeVideos]

@@plasticponycollector Omg I completely forgot that release was a mare!

[@fabricatedreality8218]

I’m having a friend pick up the Ashquar and Dundee models for me at Breyerfest. I didn’t like the rest..which I’m actually happy about because this hobby is expensive lol

[@madisonjohnson2242]

I am guessing it will be a just s a dream for the surprise

[@EolianWolf]

I had a dream it was Croi and I'm worried she has a decent shot 😂

[@stellangios]

I love watching these, even though I have no skin in the game, lol! ❤ I hope it’ll be the Connemara mare, tbh. Idk about Weather Girl, she has balance issues, or she did? It’s one of those rare molds I got back in the day that I was so disappointed with I returned it. Flimsy and didn’t stand up. Maybe they fixed her… idk, I’m not sure at all in general but I think it’ll be a traditionally mare mold. Just guessing tho….

[@StormyStrikeVideos]

Weathergirl is still very tippy! Usually her legs have to be heated up a bit and moved so that she stands better. Sometimes if it's done right she can stand fairly well.

[@stellangios]

@@StormyStrikeVideos Yeah, personally if I were in charge I wouldn't be happy handing out a bunch of surprise models that might or might not stand 😅 I'd have to test every single one, which I'm sure would be insane... I also found her to be really light weight and cheap-feeling. I remember her being super unpopular, too, tho I could be wrong. Now I feel like now I'm seeing her on people's shelves. I guess it's a fashion thing with the newer Arabian mares, her stock going up as Justadream/Make A Wish falls somewhat.... Also, I agree Susecion will likely never be sold alone. She looks too pregnant, too much like she's reaching for her newborn foal, to go it alone. She is a pretty mold, though. I have Zion and Moab (at least until I sell them, lol. Way too expensive for me to keep. But they're very pretty, imo.)

[@codymypony1467]

If it's Wyatt or Forever Saige I'm going to be in trouble

[@learobinson4450]

During one of the vids released by Breyer one of the hosts mentioned that this year’s Surprise is on a Moody mold & since BGB is the Volunteer model the front runner is now SJustadream/Oasis. Lots of head & tail variations for that mold so it would make a good choice.

[@StormyStrikeVideos]

If you happen to know which video that was, please let me know! There has been nothing officially from Breyer that I've heard of, unless you are thinking of the Christmas "surprise" model which in a post and possibly the winterfest video they said it was a Moody mold. There was a rumor going around on FaceBook before that started by people mixing up the 2 models.

[@learobinson4450]

It wasn’t an official video from Breyer. My mistake & apologies. It’s mentioned in a KZbin vid by Khrysalis Studios. The vid is titled “SundayStudio Stream With Special Guests!” & it was posted on April 14th. At the 59:30 mark the host says they know it’s a Moody mold.

[@StormyStrikeVideos]

@@learobinson4450 Thank you for the info! I'll have to check it out

[@AwkwardBirb]

I’ve been looking forward to this!! ❤ My heart is saying it’s going to be Weather Girl or Bobby Jo but that’s probably just wishful thinking 😅

[@StormyStrikeVideos]

They would both make great surprise models!

[@fyredance]

I always look forward to the speculation video! I don't think it's going to be Saige, as she's been a prize model last year for the BCC (and I would die if its another I conga this year 😂). Originally my top guesses were Totilas, Lipizzaner mare, Strapless, and Emerson with maybe possibilities of the Andy mare and Ruffian as well.. but it's apparently been confirmed that it will be a Moody mold, so now I'm stumped. LOL But I think Goffert, Justadream, Marabella, and idk maaaaaybe the ASB stallion or Huck as a mare are good possibilities.

[@StormyStrikeVideos]

I completely forgot to mention that Saige was used for the BCC last year 😂 I wouldn't make that totally rule her out? but does lower her chances I think. That's a good list you've got going! I'm not sure where you heard about it being a Moody mold but there was a rumor about that going around on FaceBook a while ago that was debunked (someone got the surprise mixed up with the Christmas Gambler's Choice model.)

[@fyredance]

@@StormyStrikeVideos Oooo I thought it did! I thought when I was doing my list I didn't see where one has been used, but I probably missed something somewhere. Knowing Breyer, this will be the year they do 😂 The Moody Mold thing I heard on one of Khrysalis Studios streams. I don't think KZbin will let me link it, but it was the really long 3 hour studio stream she had about a month ago where she had two guests and were talking about Breyerfest and Breyerwest. I think the conversation is somewhere around the end of the 1 hour mark into the 2nd. She really didn't touch into it a lot, but I'm wondering now if someone had heard something at Breyerwest and they got confused.

[@truckerswife5060]

If it's Croi or the Mustang Mare, I'm in trouble. I believe the issue with the Mustang mare and her popularity or lack thereof when she first released as Forever Saige was her coloring/ markings. It's an optical illusion that made her look squatty. I don't think Firefly is a good candidate because she's small. I'm honestly hoping it's a mold I don't like, so I won't want them. Wixom has been used a lot.

[@StormyStrikeVideos]

Hoping it's a mold you don't like so you don't want it is a huge mood 😂 Honestly me this year. I hope it's a mold I'm not really crazy for so I don’t spend more money Haha

[@stellangios]

IMO the Mustang Mare/Forever Saige always looks better in person than pics. Her head/neck just look wonky when the image flattens her out. In person, though, I really adore her. People also hated on Croi initially b/c of her lip. I hope everyone's over that gripe by now, though 😂

[@kathyreynolds6461]

I am leaning towards Ruffian because: last year it was announced that Ruffian would be moved and reburied at Claiborne along side Secretariat, making it possible to see her grave while at BF. Also Claiborne just announced a Life of Ruffian tour they have started that starts with her as a foal , carries through her career and tragic end, with the new burial and headstone. Plus the "Runs the World" title lends itself to the idea of a "running" mold -- though that may be too obvious. And Breyer has certainly shot down the obvious before, just to keep us guessing! And a colorway of the "Surprise" logo on Ruffian would look fantastic!

[@stellangios]

Feels a little bleak, the story of a mare run till she died ("whose grave you can visit, kids!") to use on a fluffy "girl power" event attended by a lot of horse crazy children and horse savvy adults. Especially after 12 horses died on Derby Day alone last year - and basically nothing has been done about it. I think people would be pretty ticked if they featured racing like that. I do like the mold, though I agree with the OP that it having a stand hurts its chances.

[@kathyreynolds6461]

@@stellangios all good points, but, to clarify a statement: "People also ask How many horses died in the 2023 Kentucky Derby? The 2023 Kentucky Derby was marred by the death of 12 horses at Churchill Downs in the days before and after the race, leading to an investigation searching for answers behind the widespread deaths." They did not all die on that day, but even one horse dying is too many. Fortunately this year turned out much better. We will see what this Saturday brings....

[@Nutmeg142]

So basically, I should pay extra special attention to your number 1, 3, and 6 guesses

[@morganwaterwell]

I have a small hunch it could be ruffian

[@siennameadowhook]

Mine are 1. Mustang Mare 2. Bluegrass Bandit 3.Oasis Based on pure vibes, not logic lol

[@emilyfloof728]

This is my guesses Gaming Stock Horse (Mare Version) Justadream Totallis (mare) ~~Misty (Out Due to Spokes and Spers Special Run~~ Welsh Mare ~~Trotting Arabian Mare (Out Due to being Flagship Model)~~ Lippizanner Mare Sucecion ~~Forever Sage (Due to Test Model)~~ Huckleberry Bey (If modified to be a Mare)

[@emilyfloof728]

I had made my list prior to yours so the squiggly lines represent the disqualified models since April

[@StormyStrikeVideos]

That's a great list! I'm curious what Test Model for the Mustang Mare you're referring to? I must have missed that release.

[@emilyfloof728]

@@StormyStrikeVideos Glossy Bisbee

[@StormyStrikeVideos]

@@emilyfloof728 Oh right! I completely forgot about that one. I usually don't even consider the test models like that as I imagine someone just grabs something off the archive shelves semi-randomly to put up for CC test releases xD but they very well may be more deliberate about them.

[@emilyfloof728]

@@StormyStrikeVideos yea, not really a complete removal from the list, but odds are up for question, I originally had Croi at the top before Breyerwest happened and test model showed up
