So first off let's start with Astrid, after a wait that seems to have taken forever Astrid has finally arrived in the USA and is available to purchase for Breyer Premier Club members!
She comes in matte and glossy finish, although I'm a huge glossy fan, for this release I personally much prefer the matte finish, I just think it suits her grulla colour a lot more than the glossy one does (I know I know this is shocking news for me).
If you are a Premier Club member you can login to your Breyer account and order her now!
Several people have also noted that the colour seems different on the matte and glossy versions. The key thing I noticed was that the glossy version doesn't have the black line detail around the ear. Having seen in hand versions of both today it appears that they are using the artist proof as the matte image which has more detail, sadly neither seem to have that little ear detail, it's a small thing but it would have made her so much prettier.
It's a gorgeous sculpture though and I'd love to get a custom one on the mould in the same colour, I'm sure Deb Brown could do me a stunning one :D
And in more exciting news the second Breyer Collector's Club model of the year, Brunhilde will be released today at 1pm EST! We got a hint of Brunhilde in the 2021 JAH but no details on when she would be released.
She is being sold on first come first serve with no back orders, so you are going to have to be super quick if you want one! If you are in the UK she will be available at 18:00 Tuesday 9th November 2021.
I just love the shading on her face! She looks like she is going to be gorgeous.
Good luck if you are going to attempt to get one! Let me know in the comments below if you manage it, may the tiny model horse gods forever be in your favour.
