Title: Show me your Breyers!
Post by: katrine2309 on July 25, 2018, 12:18:33 AM

I only have one Breyer, but I would love to see pictures of more! I especially like the older versions of them ^.^

If anyone else have Breyers, please feel free to post pictures and tell us all about them :cool:

I'm jumping in to second the wish to admire others' collections. I have a mental wish list that I can't bring myself to start hunting down because if I start I won't be able to stop lol.

Saying that I do have one Breyer, the Traditional Pink Ribbon Breast Cancer Awareness Horse. (Sorry no pics atm)

She is both a beauty and an important horse :)

I have the Prince of Cinz (Breyerfest 2012). He is the Esprit mold, and even though he is somewhat girly in design (light blue with flowers), I adore him! I bought him from someone here on the forum a couple of years ago and I am so happy with him! It was love at first sight ;)

I don't have very many recent photos and fewer still uploaded where I can share them, but here are a few of the ones I have from Breyerfest 2016:

I'll have to go through and see what else I have that I can upload, and I might take a few photos of the ones I got at this year's Breyerfest too.

Oh wow! These are really beautiful! Love the rearing horse mold. I don’t remember what it is called, but one horse on my wishlist has that pose (Strawberry Fields).

Title: Re: Show me your Breyers!
Post by: Breyer600 on July 25, 2018, 09:55:16 PM

Those rearing ones are on the Silver mold.  Here are some old photos of my Silver conga before I got those I already posted:

Awesome! And I spot Strawberry Fields too ;) You have an amazong collection! Are those in porcelain also Breyers?

Title: Re: Show me your Breyers!
Post by: Breyer600 on July 26, 2018, 01:03:06 AM

Thanks  :) Silver is one of my major congas so of course I had to have Strawberry Fields.  ;)  The porcelains are Breyers too.

Wow! I didn’t know that they also were porcelain horses! That is something new to consider.... I have a thing for porcelain ;)

Title: Re: Show me your Breyers!
Post by: Breyer600 on July 26, 2018, 10:02:45 AM

Here's a page that shows all the porcelains, but it also includes the crystals and a few other non-plastics: http://www.identifyyourbreyer.com/identify/porcelain.htm (http://www.identifyyourbreyer.com/identify/porcelain.htm)

I had several others but sold them off and only kept the dozen in the above photo.

Post by: Tulips on July 26, 2018, 07:47:00 PM

This thread is making me want to add more Breyer to my collection, but my partner says I have no more room to display... I'll find room!

Where's the best place to buy, eBay or join a Breyer Forum?

Title: Re: Show me your Breyers!
Post by: Breyer600 on July 27, 2018, 06:22:47 PM

I do most of my buying at Breyerfest now, but I used to use https://modelhorsesalespages.com/ (https://modelhorsesalespages.com/) frequently.  There's also http://www.modelhorseblab.com/forums/forum.php (http://www.modelhorseblab.com/forums/forum.php) which has a sales forum (a free account will allow you to read the sales and contact the sellers, but you won't be able to access certain subforums or post your own sales/wanted ads unless you get a paid account).

Post by: ColdRuru on July 29, 2018, 04:49:46 AM

I did a post with my own herd: http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,392146.0.html
I see beautiful displays here as well!

Title: Re: Show me your Breyers!
Post by: NightGliderSA on July 30, 2018, 01:23:56 AM

Oh my gosh, those models are too gorgeous! Perhaps it is a good thing that we do not get them here...

Title: Re: Show me your Breyers!
Post by: Tulips on July 30, 2018, 07:05:51 PM

So I bought three Breyers from an Aussie seller on eBay, and I admired many more from international sellers (but postage + GST is just ugh). There are so many that I want but I'm limited by budget.

I bought a Gypsy Vanner, EZ to Spot, and Svali Fra Tjorn.

I'll post pics when they arrive, I'll have to sort a shelf out so they can all sit together but I'm tight on space... My mental want list is overflowing!

Developing a new appreciation over here at these photos!! The moulds are really lovely, with such nice detail. I'm gonna have to draw the line at my mlp and fashion star fillies, though, lol! :lol:

Title: Re: Show me your Breyers!
Post by: BubbleTea on August 05, 2018, 04:56:48 PM

YES a Breyer thread. Breyer horses are my main collection- I've been collecting since I was seven. Right now I don't have that much space so I won't be able to collect as much :(. On to the collection!

Most of the horses in these photos are Breyer. (BTW sorry for the horrendous pictures)

Agreed on the shipping!! Please post pics when they arrive- would love to see them :nod:

My Breyers arrived and I arranged a shelf for them in front of my Sweetie Pups. Not ideal, but it's the best I've got. I'm seriously running out of room lol.

I'm actually going to drive out and pick another one up today, Hidalgo.

Update #1: Nevermind, the seller has flaked and decided not to sell, ruined my day.

Update #2: Strike that, I managed to convince them to sell to me afterall. It was an anxiety ridden day but worth it in the end. I'll have to get pics of the gorgeous boy.  ^.^

yay, you have Carltonlima Emma, the Fell pony!
I have her too, my only Breyer. She is beautiful (though I'm a bit biased as we have a real-life Fell :) )

I had another connoisseur years ago I had to sell when I needed some repairs.  This guy I wanted to display but not get dusty, so I put him in someone else's box.

Connoiseur models where really stunning, in regard of the factory paint job effort! Congratz on getting him!

Have you guys seen the 2019 Horse of the Year Malik? He is to die for! :frolic: I'm getting rid of one or two of my models to make room on the shelf for him.

I know! What's even crazier is that he's a classic and he's only going to be $20! I swear the Horse of The Year series keeps on getting better every year.

Its a nice price. I prefer Classics to Trads because they're affordable and take up a little less space. As for Horse of the Year, it depends on individual taste. I didn't care for Mariah, Amelia and Mason. Harper, Bella and Malik however, are gorgeous! I liked Liam, but not enough to own him.

I sure do wish they'd quit with the people names in this series.

Yeah the people names are kinda getting old although I thought Liam was a cute name for a horse. Maybe the people names are to appeal to children?
