What's Coming: Breyer's 75th Anniversary Releases & Event Speculation

[@learobinson4450]

So happy that Candace has posted another enjoyable video! Great ideas & fun speculations. Andrea Gurdon was a dear friend & last year before she became ill, she texted me saying Stephanie Macejko had contacted her about the 75th Anniversary line & the 2025 VC line. Andrea asked if there was anything I’d like to see or if I had any ideas. I called her & even though she didn’t like talking on the phone, we batted around ideas & suggestions for over an hour. We came up with: -Western Horse with clock -Hamilton in the 4 vintage deco colors as a nod to the vintage deco 5 Gaiter -the FAM & FAF in vintage deco colors to go with Ali -the Proud Arabians in palomino or charcoal as a nod to the vintage Family Arabians -the PAM & PAF in vintage gray splatter Appaloosa to go with the VC PAS Harlequin -Modern molds in Woodgrain -Another Treasure Hunt using molds from each 15 year period (1950-1965, 1966-1980, 1981-1995 & 1996-2010 with the prize model being a mold from. 2011-2024). -more animals in the RR line up -more RR’s on the new molds from the PC line Of course Andrea wanted another model or two on the vintage Man O’ War so we tried to work that into an anniversary line. She mentioned she’d really like Breyer to do a blue & yellow deco or a deco with blue & yellow Morning Glory flowers on MOW & call it Morning Glory. Her stable was Morning Glory Ranch & she did the Morning Glory Sampler that she gave out at the CHIN each BF. It was her dream to have a model on MOW that was a nod to her. Now that she’s gone I’m hoping Breyer will make that model to honor her & all that she did to help create & promote the hobby. She even worked directly with Breyer developing the VC line & she wrote the COA/pamphlet that was included with VC models. I don’t know what those COA’s will be like now that she’s gone. I also don’t know how many of those ideas she passed along to Stephanie but since there’s a new clock with the Western Pony it seems like she did talk to Breyer about a few of them. I’m really not buying anything new since I desperately need to downsize the herd but I have a feeling there will be one or two 75th anniversary models that will tempt me enough to break the “No Buying” rule.

Oh wow.. I saw 'animals in the RR line' and 'western horse with clock' and they made my heart skip with the upcoming releases I've seen so far! This list of ideas is brilliant. We do need more RRs on the recent PC sculpts! A new Treasure Hunt would be so much fun and I would LOVE to see a Pam/Paf mare/foal set in the VC, as well as the Hammy deco gambler! I'm happy to know she took care of the Club pamphlets. I'm sure she was in her happy place putting those together for Breyer. 💙 A MOW Morning Glory deco would be fantastic. I wonder if that'd be our spring or fall release, if Breyer were to make one? It's possible, and personally, I'd love to see it. I take it then she liked the Traditional Scale Man O' War?

[@learobinson4450]

Yes, since the TR MOW was her very first Breyer model. She bought it when she was 9 years old in April of 1974 with her birthday money. If she hadn’t passed in February 2024 she would have been in the hobby for 50 years this past April. She was planning to celebrate at BF last July with a big sheet cake with gold frosting & having a get together at the MOW statue at the KHP.

Im so excited for this upcoming year iv done 3 BF's this will be my 4th i didnt go in person this year but the 2 years b4 that i did and i will be coming i person in 2025 I CANT WAIT!!

[@CandaceToo]

Ahh hooray! So exciting! 2025 should be really good!

[@madisonjohnson2242]

@@CandaceToo I don’t wanna be rude or anything, but I don’t want a model and Hamilton because I’m so tired of that mold I hate it

[@madisonjohnson2242]

@@CandaceToo but I do love the Missouri Foxtrotter because I already have one in that mold and I’m already looking for another one in the same mold

[@CandaceToo]

@@madisonjohnson2242 There is a mold for everybody. And no worries; we were just thinking 60th Saddlebred to 75th Saddlebred anniversary editions.

[@CandaceToo]

@@madisonjohnson2242 I love the MFT too! I'd love to see that one as another RR someday soon.

Great video, and I agree on the "editing takes too long" sentiment. That very thing made me give up doing wedding photography ten years ago, to be honest. lol. The projected colour on that Hamilton was FAB. I want one. I want ten. I want it on every mold. I don't think I will be able to make Breyerfest in person this year. Hopefully the offerings for the online attendees will be equally as awesome... And my only, perennial, hope is that the Surprise Horse isn't Croi. I already have a few too many presently unobtainables on that list currently. I'm looking forward to your Christmas haul, as always, and so glad you got this one out to us. I know that chained to the computer feeling that comes with the monotony of editing, so no pressure. Your videos are always worth waiting for. I hope you have/had a lovely holiday season with your family, and that there were a few adorable plastic ponies under the tree for you. Good luck with the BCC information too. Hope they get that out soon.

[@CandaceToo]

Thank you so much. Your comments are always so thoughtful and sweet. I hope you got some fun horse-shaped gifts this season too! I'll get that holiday haul out one day, I swear! 💪🏻😅 Isn't the Hamilton idea so much fun?! I can imagine him so clearly and he really would be stunning. I can't imagine though Breyer read our thoughts. Shoot. Lol Personally: I think the Croi--though darling and I have quite a few of her--might be on the small side for the Surprise. It's the most expensive model Breyer offers during the 'Fest, and I think they try to do an okay job of making the cost "worth it." I could totally see her as a Special Run though! Or maybe even a mid-year release here shortly? She's been a limited web special (2023) and Volunteer Model (2023), and was the holiday Gambler (2021).. which sounds like a lot of uses, but she hasn't seen a regular run box since 2020! We'll see soon, I think. New releases will be revealed January 1, and that will start our BreyerFest reveals season too! Hooray!

[@roguewolf5597]

Thank you for a video that has me on the edge of my seat ! It’s going to be an exciting year for 2025 !

[@CandaceToo]

Eeek YES IT IS! I hope to do a follow-up when models are officially revealed, and/or an unboxing of my favorites, and DEFINITELY plan to do a BF Speculation!

[@stewartryable]

I love the idea for the mini Othello holiday blind bags! I've officially got my hopes up for him

[@CandaceToo]

Aw thanks! I think it'd be such a fun release!

[@StormyStrikeVideos]

So many fun things to speculate on this year! I can't wait to see all that Breyer will have in store for their 75th Anniversary!

[@CandaceToo]

Same! So exciting, and several fun reveals so far! Always a nice time speculating with you!

[@Starplayz.]

TOTILAS SURPRISE?? TAKE MY MONEYYY!! Anyways another amazing video! I’m so excited for breyerfest! And it’s the first time I joined the vintage club! I hope they really do the totilas model for surprise! Crossing my fingers!

[@CandaceToo]

Hooray, Vintage Club! I'm in so I'm bracing myself for the expenses of it, but I hope I love everything so it doesn't feel financially painful! 😂 The 75th year seemed like a perfect time to give it a try. Totilas would make a nice Surprise!

[@Starplayz.]

Also they revealed that Winnifred is going to have a micro run of 75! The grey variation is GORGEOUS

[@CandaceToo]

I saaaaw.. omg. Naturally they sneak things in right after my uploads (lol), but wow! She's beautiful!! I'm in the PC too for 2025. Are you also doing that one?

[@Starplayz.]

@@CandaceToo yes I am! I usually also join the stablemates club but since I joined the vintage club this year, I better save my money 😅

[@lemonbar12345]

Love this video!!

[@CandaceToo]

Thank you!!

[@Ottb.studios]

Not sure if you saw but they did confirm an event happening in fall!! Also a few 75th anniversary stablemate sets were revealed!

[@CandaceToo]

Ahhh! Okay, so, I went back digging around EVERYWHERE until I found mention of a fall Special Event in my DCC welcome email. I totally missed that previously! (It'd help if I read the entirety of the emails they send.. they just.. send so many.. 😅) I did not know there were 75th Anny SMs, though?! In everything I saw they were generic regular run stuff. Did you see specifically "75th Anniversary Edition" or anything? Eek!

[@Ottb.studios]

@ lol don’t worry! I don’t read any of their emails haha. A friend told me! And looking again I see something called the “brilliance gift set” which includes models all anniversary colored. They aren’t specifically listed as 75th anniversary stablemates though!

[@studiojangmi]

My fingers are still crossed for a Rhiannon RR some time next year! Maybe a mid year release?

[@CandaceToo]

Ooh YES. Lemme think... outside web specials and unicorns, I think our last mare/foal sets were Ethel & Kansas (2022), The Phantom & Misty (2022), and Ebony Shines & Charlize (2023). I'd say we're definitely due for a new mare/foal, and with Rhi and Rem being crowd favorites, they're sure to show up soon!

[@lemonbar12345]

Leaving this comment to manifest Breyer making Hermosa, Georg, and/or the Lip mare a surprise horse!!!

[@CandaceToo]

YES; all wonderful possibilities! So exciting!

[@amicableenmity9820]

Oh boy, I wonder if one of the Special Run models will be a one time mold, like Alby

[@CandaceToo]

WHOA that'd really be something! Even if old stock was used as a micro run variation or something? WHOA.
