New breyers and reviews. Also some news. :] (Breyer Polo Pony review)

Yes, I haven't posted here in like one month. I'm okay, if you're asking. I sometimes just forget to blog here, or I just don't have anything to talk about. Well, this is going to be an big-ass post, if you ask me. :'D
First off, since my birthday is month or two away, my mom decided I can get some breyers for my birthday! :) So we ordered them about a week ago, and well the package arrived today. So after I got the package you can probably guess, that I couldn't resist so I decided to open them today. :D
I ordered:
1. Breyer traditional Limited Edition Santiago - Polo Pony. item#: 1744 (Purchase here)
2. Breyer stablemate  Highland Pony. item#: W6028 (Purchase here)
3. Schleich-S Percheron mare (Retired, you can get her from different websites)
I am very happy, because I chose very carefully what I want to order. In the beginning, I was going for the Don't Look Twice but then I started to like Harley D Zip  and there were just so many options. In the end, I thought that one limited edition breyer wouldn't do bad. So I ordered him! :) I have no regrets. :]
Now, if you're intrested, here is the review of the model horses I got. This will include my personal option and I will also point out the things that I don't like.

I'm starting off with the main breyer, the Polo Pony. He is an really beautiful model on the breyer Smarty Jones mold. He is limited edition, and there are only 3,000 made. He is rarer than my Fire Magic! I will maybe meet up with an person, who owns the same model horse. :) Anyways. My first impression was positive about him, but later I found some flaws that I will talk about later. Now I will show you what he looks like.

I'd say that he is overall very good looking.  Mine is high PSQ quality. 

Here is his other side. Unlikely some other breyers have their "good or bad sides", I'd say that both of his sides look good. :)

 Now let's go deeper into the details.

I really adore his hooves! Fantastic paintjob and shading. Very detailed. 

He has an super cute face as you can see! :) And ofcourse, his eyes are detailed and have a little bit of red in them. In my opinion they suit him very well and don't look weird.

I thought you would like an picture of his base, so here you go!

He has an green base, that you can take off and put back on. I haven't really seen an green base on the Smarty Jones mold. I think that another Smarty Jones mold breyer is Frankel who has such green base. 

Nothing can be perfect, and here come the flaws and things I don't quite like about him. 

I have heard this from other collectors around the world too, that breyer just can't do dapples correctly. Those, aren't just quite "dapples". Those don't just disturb me that much, but if you are looking for an realistic breyer, then the dapples just make this model look kind of weird. 

I hope you can see this well enough. As you might know, this is the first Smarty Jones to come without an mane or a tail. Well, The thing is,  that his forehead looks pretty much like breyer just took a big clump of clay from there, and left those marks behind. And his mane is just an white stripe, literally. 

This isn't an common problem, but mine came with this weird black mark on his nose. The thing is, that you can somewhat see it on the pictures, and yup. Quality control, breyer, please.

Well yeah, he also has some minor scratches, but I'm very pleased with him. 

I'm also going to show you the box he came in. :)

This is the front of the box.

And also the back of  the box.

Here you can read about the horse and stuff. :) (Click on it for it to zoom in)

That's all for the traditional! I hope it came out nice. Also if I missed some details or whatsoever, you can comment. 

I included an picture I took of him outside, too. 

Here is an picture of him in his new home. :) Also, Mon Gamin is super huge. :D

Now after I'm done with the review of the new traditional, I'm going to review my other model horses I bought. 

First off, let's start with the Breyer stablemate Highland Pony. She is an cute little fella, and she is very tiny also. :) I'd say that her coloring is dun. She is on the stablemate scale. Also, it was quite an surpise, that she was an mare! I always thought, that it would be an stallion. She is on the Breyer Highland Pony mold, and she came out 2015 and is an  regular run breyer stablemate. Needless to say, but in my opinion she has alot darker coloring than on the official breyer picture. Now let's add  pictures of her. :)

This is what she looks like. Mine came as pretty LSQ quality (without hoof or earrubs or anything) so I'm trying my best to keep her from going PSQ.

Now you can see what I ment before, when I said that breyer's official photo of her is much lighter than the original. (Breyer's picture) I'd also say that I prefer the other side, since on this side, she has this weird eye though. It has way more white in it than the other eye. Breyer, why? :(

Can't ignore her cute lil' face! She has an white marking, what adds some detail to her. Looks very pretty on her!

Now you can see what I ment, when I said that she is super small. Well yeah, she is an pony, but still. :D

Here is she compared to my other stablemate, which should be an regular scale stablemate. You can see the difference though. And here the weird eye is more visible also. 

To end her review, I am going to add an picture of her that I took. :)

Now it's time to review the last "product" , who is the Schleich-S Percheron mare. She came out in 2007 and went retired in 2011 with other Schleich-S Percheron horses. So yeah, she went retired and never came back, unlikely some other Schleich-S horses that came back in 2015, but just in different coloring. She is an draft horse, so you can't really put Schleich-S tack on her, so you can only put handmade tack on her. And you can't fit any riders on her too. But I'd say that she still is very stunning and gorgerous.

I really love this Schleich-S, and she could possibly be my favourite one. I really miss those times, when Schleich-S products weren't undetailed and didn't have weird legs and stuff. Plus, I have wanted her for a long time also. 

I just love that mane and tail! The coloring is so beatutiful. :) She is very well shaded too. Sadly, mine came with some rubs, so she is PSQ. I'm very lucky that her rubs don't show off on pictures that much, because if they would, I would be pretty sad. 

One more little detail that she has, are those wonderful horseshoes! I really like that detail and I thought that I would include it here too. :) 

I'm also including pictures that I took of her outside. :)

So thats all the reviews for this post! I'm very glad that I decided to do this review. I will try to do more reviews when I get some model horses. I guess now it's time to talk about my personal life and what have I done the past month. Well, I sure have visited my grandparents, and I haven't still gone to the countryside, because the weather was just so bad. :( There is still luckily time to go though! :D 

Surprisingly, I won an facebook game, and I won an minion themed luggage. It's very cute and I will sure be travelling with it! :) 

So I have got alot of body Schleich-S model horses lately, because I started to customize, but now with pastels. In my opinion, they look way better than when I customized with acrylics. I currently have done an hannoverian mare custom (it still needs some details though) and I'm working on my shire gelding custom. And if you're wondering, what body model horses I bought here is a list:
1. Knabstrup foal (retired)

2. Palomino stallion (retired)
3. Arabian stallion (retired)

4. Percheron stallion (retired, I got this one for free actually, because the seller was so nice :) )

I also got two people, they were PSQ so there was no need to customize them. I don't really think that I will customize them myself, but maybe I will let someone customize them. I have seen alot of people in Estonia who do really nice customs, so I thoght why not. :) 

Talking about customs, I let my BFF customize my arabian foal. She came out really nice, but I still haven't got her. I will show her to you when I get her back! :)

I also tried out to take pictures in my "studio". It was pretty dark outside (well, it wasn't, but it wasn't enough to take pictures without lightning). So I had to take pics with lightning, because when I didn't, the pictures came out foggy and unfocused. I don't know yet, that is it okay to take pictures with lightning in studios, or not. Well, I'm adding the pictures anyway. :D

I tried to take pictures of a mini whinnie and a stablemate size foal too, but they didn't come out really well, so I basically got only 2 pictures out of 6-8. :D On the picture is Breyer stablemate scale Dutch warmblood-bay model horse. He is on the Jumping Sporthorse mold. :)

This is the second picture, and her face might seem like it's unfocused, but it isn't. On the picture is Schleich-S Percheron Mare. :)

Thats all for today, I'm super tired of writing this post, and I'm exited to publish it to see what y'all think. And everyone who finds this post helpful, you can comment, I won't bite. :D

Stay tooned for more posts and BYE! :)
