Next up in the parade of rainbow ponies is #62121, Hope. Some of the proceeds from each model went to Covenant House, which helps young people who are survivors of human trafficking or facing homelessness. It’s a good cause, it’s a rainbow horse, and I like this mold, so I ordered one as a tagalong with one of my SM Club models in June 2021.
Here's where the "disappointment" part of the post title comes in:
I noticed earlier this year that the model has developed a pretty awful seam split on his face - it goes all the way back to his mane. A disturbing number of newer models have been developing seam splits in recent years. I'm not sure if the manufacturing process has changed or if they're just getting overambitious when they sand the seams. Either way, it sucks. This one is destined for the body box, and I'll try to pick up a not-split one some year at BreyerFest.
