New Additions: December 2025

I would normally have left this post for December 31, but I really wanted to do a year-end recap and Top 5 in that one, so the December acquisitions are coming a couple days early.

 

 

Before I get to that, I need to add one from November that I forgot about! In fairness to me, I’m heavily relying on my spreadsheets for the entire blog, and I typically don’t add a model to my spreadsheets until I have it in hand. I bought this guy from Heather B and just nabbed him from her last week, so that’s how he slipped by without making it into the November post.

This is #9317 Get Rowdy, one of four models produced in gloss for the 2024 Collector Club Appreciation (CCA) sale in both May and October 2024. I didn’t participate in the sale myself, as none of the glossy models really caught my eye, and there wasn’t enough regular run product I wanted to justify the expense.

Then I saw a glossy Get Rowdy in person at a show and went, “Ooooo, yeah, that’s a must-have.”

Heather listed him for sale on November 29 and the rest is history.

 

 

This is B-SM-10355 Harbinger, the final (and optional) purchase from the 2025 Stablemates Club. I wasn’t thrilled with the promo pics so I debated not even buying him, but he went over extremely well within the hobby, and I knew that if I didn't like him in-hand, I wouldn’t have any trouble selling him. 

 

I don't like him any better in-hand, so I'll be selling him. He’s commanding $50 and up at the moment, but I’ll price mine at cost and make someone happy at BreyerFest next year.

 

In the past three years, I have disbanded most of my Stablemates congas, not having the space or desire to keep up with them. It was a breath of fresh air to take that pressure off myself and narrow down the list of molds for which I desire a complete conga to just the G1 Quarter Horse Stallion, the G2 Appaloosa, the G3 Standing Thoroughbred, and the G3 Standing Foal.

Then they shrunk the Proud Arabian Mare and made her a little more like the HR Zara (on which she was based), and she promptly hopped herself right onto that list.

This is B-CS-10354 Madonna, and I freaking love her. I will need this little sculpt in every color. Even loud appaloosa or pinto. Even double dilute. Even fuchsia with wings and a unicorn horn.

The mini-PAM is the Deluxe Collector’s Club model next year and will be a matte/glossy split. I always join the Deluxe CC, so one will be headed my way. Whatever finish I don’t get will be a future secondary market purchase for sure.

 

 

Well, he’s blue (though the lighting doesn't really capture it very well), and I love Lexington, so this model, #10307 Big Lex, was a guarantee to end up on my shelves. I picked him out at Kraynaks this year while on the annual trip with my family and my parents gave him to me for Christmas, fulfilling the “It’s not Christmas unless we give you a Breyer” requirement.

Stay tuned for Wednesday’s 2025 recap and Top 5!
