Breyer 2026 Halloween Range

It's September which can only mean one thing....spooky season is nearly here! And of course it would not be spooky season without a Breyer Halloween product overview. So let's get down and spooky and have a look through the Breyer 2026 Halloween Range.

2026 Halloween Horse - Fuego

This year's Halloween horse is a gorgeous dragon inspired model on the long boi (I'm sorry, Akhal Teke) mould. He features a dramatic red and orange coat with black points and gorgeous white dragons flying across his body. Obviously because it's a Halloween horse he also glows in the dark! I love the idea of glowing dragons sitting on my shelves. Having slept in the lounge during the first heatwave, surrounded by Breyers and many Halloween horses I can absolutely confirm that these models really glow. There is nothing subtle about them. Poltergeist's face really creeped me out when I woke up in the wee hours one night!

Price: $64.99

2026 Halloween Classic - Cryptid

It's been quite some time since Brendon has liked a model and I've felt I'm going to have to get him one but he adores this guy! For those who don't know Brendon is obsessed with Big Foot. I'm genuinely grateful I don't live in the US because I swear he's one bottle of moonshine away from being on an episode of Big Foot Hunters or whatever that weird show he makes me watch is called (IT'S A DEER FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS CRYPTID YOU ARE HEARING A DEER). Anyway. Cryptid is a fun design that features lots of different cryptids, including Big Foot but there are lots of other fan favourites in there as well, even Mothman! Go through and see how many you can spot.

Price: $29.99

2026 Halloween Plush - Drusilla

Right now onto the important stuff. The Halloween plush this year is a cute little witchy girl, Drusilla. She features an adorable purple hat and even has a cute little cauldron ready to make some witchy potions (or maybe just some soup). She even has a cute green bow and a green cat on her offside. We all love a Breyer plush and this one is just adorable.

Price: $15.99

2026 Halloween Surprise Bags (Series 8)

This year's Halloween surprise bags feature three new models, all based on larger previous Halloween model releases. First we have a mini Stitch. On the G3 Highland mould he features all the details of the real stitch just in smaller form. Just a note about this guy, the in person photos show a model that is grey not white, so bare that in mind if you are ordering! Second we have my favourite, a mini Slither. This little guy is on the M1 Connemara Mare mould and features Slither's green coat with white stripes across. Such a cool model. Finally we have a mini Spectre. This little Stablemate is a fun choice as they've kept him on an Arabian mould, in fact they do kind of look quite similar. It's a great choice of mould to have him on the G6 Twist when the traditional one is on the Ashquar mould. They are available now as blind bag choices from Breyer online.

Price: $24.99

2026 Fuego Pin Badge

If you collect the Breyer pin badges then you will want to add this year's Halloween one to your collection. This features Fuego with his dramatic dragons down his side. O and he is glittery and the dragons glow in the dark, which is kinda awesome.

Price: $14.95

Which ones will you be adding to your collection this spooky season?

Mould Focus: Playful Arabian Stallion

Today we have a little tiny mould focus for you, today's mould focus is on the Playful Arabian Stallion.

About the Mould

The mould was originally produced as part of the Creata Winner's Choice series of models which were sculpted by Candance Liddy. The S1 Rearing Arabian was first released in 1996 by Creata. In 2005 Breyer released the first batch of Mini Whinnie models which included the newly named Playful Arabian Stallion.

In the Show Ring

The obvious breed choice for this little guy is an Arabian although a mix breed may also suit him, a cross with a Welsh would work well and you may be able to get away with a Welsh as a purebred if you wanted something different from the Arabian.

He is probably not going to be the best Arabian on the table in a CTF class. There are nicer Schleich and CollectA moulds and much nicer Bendy CTF moulds from Juilp and RubberNedz. He does have some performance potential though, I could see him looking amazing in a tiny little circus costume. If you've got the patience to do Mini Whinnie performance then all credit to you! I'd love to see him if you do attempt it.

What We Do In the Shadows

Today we are looking through another theme of model horse names in my collection. These guys are all named after episodes of the TV Series What We Do In The Shadows. I absolutely love these series so it seemed fitting that I use it as one of my naming themes.

So let's go through and see who we have:

City Council

Starting off strong - this one is missing!

Werewolf Feud

Manhattan Night Club

Animal Control

Baron's Night Out - Missing

The Trial - Missing

This is an interesting one as it is also the name of a Kafka book which I also used as a naming theme so we already have CRS Der Process (Trial) but I don't actually have a 'The Trial'

Citizenship

The Orgy (changed to Orgi because well...obvious reasons)

Ancestry

Resurrection

Ghosts

Brain Scramblies

The Curse - Actually named The Cursed Gummy Bear

Colin's Promotion

On The Run - Missing!

The Return

Collaboration

Witches

Nouveau Theatre des Vampires

The following episodes have not yet been used - basically Season 3 onwards. I got to the end of Season 2 before Season 3 was released and only in doing this blog post did I realise I never updated my list to add all the new episodes in. So here are the missing names to be used in future!

The Prisoner

The Cloak of Duplication

Gail

The Casino

The Chamber of Judgement

The Escape

The Siren

The Wellness Centre

A Farewell

The Portrait

Reunited

The Lamp

The Grand Opening

The Night Market

Private School

The Wedding

Pine Barrens

Go Flip Yourself

Freddie

Sunrise Sunset

The Mall

A Night Out with the Guys

Pride Parade

Urgent Care

Hybrid Creatures

Exit Interview

The Return of Jerry

Headhunting

Sleep Hypnosis

The Railroad

Nandor's Army

Lazlo's Father

March Madness

P.I. Undercover New York

Come Out and Play

The Promotion

The Finale

So this was a good shout as a blog post as it meant that I actually realised I was several seasons worth of names. I've added them to my list and will update as they get used.

Which is your favourite from this batch?

Four New Completed Customs

The aim at the moment is to be completing on average a custom every day. We are definitely not hitting that target but I am painting far more than I have been previously and we are getting a fair few completed, so that is something!

I've been trying to work through lots of the unpainted resins and pewters as well as doing a few other customs. Whilst I usually keep most of my little resin and pewters for the micro army I am also trying to be discerning and rehome a few of them as the situation is getting slightly out of hand (you know things are bad when you literally cannot fit in any more micros).

Last week I got four models completed, apologies the photographs aren't very good I had a killer migraine yesterday and was trying to take the photos with said migraine, which was maybe not the brightest idea I'd ever had!

Anyway let's go through them:

CRS Economy Plus (Turbo)

Turbo is a Maggie Bennett Turbulence micro pewter. He is one of the micro club subscriber models (I think he's actually from this year). I really love this little rodeo horse but he was definitely living up to his name whilst painting.

Firstly he is a bit of a wobbler, but kept luring me into a false sense of security by looking like he was stable, allowing me to spray sealant and then flipping over once I'd left the room. Helpful. So he ended up having to have several repairs done on his coat.

That said I was so happy when I finished him and went to do his final seal. And then the nightmare happened (for once it was not me accidentally spraying him with primer). The sealant did the white dust. I did my best to recover the situation, gave him a bath and sprayed another coat but he did have to have extra pastel added and some repainting. He very much lost the richness of his colour on his show side (of course it was his show side I sprayed first). I don't think it ruined him as he's a snowcap spotted so you would expect some dustiness in the coat, but it really annoyed me. I'd been so happy with him.

Anyway he has been painted to a chestnut snowcap spotted. I went for a red halter and then put his initials on the noseband in white (similar to a horse I'd looked at for reference). He will be shown as a Grade Draft as that seems to suit the general draft mix rodeo horse that he is sculpted to be (and frankly I can't be bothered to come up with an exact mix). 

Named Economy Plus after the Kaj song which has been stuck in my head since it came out and his name made me think of aeroplanes which made me think of the song and got it stuck in my head again (which it now is again because I've written this). Also it worked well as a name that could be abbreviated down to be put on the front of the halter.

Maybe It's OK

Maybe It's OK is the 17th Teeny Tiny Night Heather resin that I've painted. As this was the last one that I have I wanted to go with a traditional Fell Pony colour. I had thought about keeping her but I do have my super small one who is painted to a Fell Pony and two black Fells on essentially the same mould seemed a little bit much (space people, space). So I've decided to rehome her, just like the other 16 of them (yep I've never actually kept one I painted). I made sure to make her a decent purebred Fell Pony by ensuring she had no white markings. I did give her lots of depth and shading in her coat though.

She's available here: https://chestnutridge.co.uk/products/maybe-its-ok

Numb Encore

Numb Encore is another Maggie Bennett micro. This is Ducat who was released in December 2020 along with his brother Dosh. Dosh has been painted up already and joined my collection as a lovely light bay Clydesdale with heavy white markings. For Ducat I went with another bay but this time used a reference of a much darker foal with some lovely contrast shading. I wanted to go with a Clydesdale again so added typical heavy white markings on the legs and face. He turned out really nicely.

Again sense has prevailed (I have so many ARC foals) and he is going to be rehomed. I do feel a bit bad separating him from Dosh but maybe you have a Dosh in your collection who needs a Ducat to be friends with?

He's available here: https://chestnutridge.co.uk/products/numb-encore

Bisexual Pride Necklace

To finish I have a really cute little unicorn necklace. I absolutely loved painting the rainbow unicorn with gold mapping and wanted to spend some time doing some more models with a similar technique in different colours. I decided that doing a range of pride flags would be a really cool way to do this and obviously started with the one with the best colours, the bisexual pride flag.

I used the same technique as the rainbow unicorn, using Maskol to map the markings and then airbrushing the colours. I maybe should have thought more about the pattern used in that the purple is quite hidden but I'm really happy with how the colours turned out.

The model had already been prepped to be a necklace so I kept that and added a purple cord with gold hardware to match the model. Every collector needs a Mini Whinnie necklace and why not also have one that has your pride colours on?

He is available here: https://chestnutridge.co.uk/products/bisexual-pride-mw-necklace

List of BreyerFest Celebration Horses

I do love a good list so when the question is asked "Is there a list of BreyerFest Celebration Horses anywhere?" and it appears there actually isn't I do think to myself, well that would be a fun list to write.

I am missing images of a lot of them - if you have one you would like to donate to the great cause of this blog post please just let me know and I can add it in (with credit of course).
