Special Run: No

So I finally got my first 2020 released horses but the packaging for this set was incredibly weak do the Andy and Arab were loose in the packaging for who knows how long in transit. No major injuries, but Lippo has a smushed ear tip and a little paint rub. And of course the Brabant doesn't stand worth crap... so I'm going to have to find a replacement for her second hand sometime.

The first regular run Mirado! He's gorgeous in this bright bay color and a cute star on his forehead. I'm so happy to finally see him as a RR and have his full conga so far. I can't wait to see more of the mold, he's stunning.

Another new mold with their first regular run, the Darley mold looks well done in chestnut. I love how he's not that similar to mini Nazrudin and his shading is fantastic. He's a very sweet mold with expressive eyes and a fun pose.

I'm kind of surprised Breyer didn't make this horse a little metallic like they have in the past but I'm really happy they didn't. She's also a bit more... red(?) then orangey like they've also done. Breyer seems to struggle with their chestnut and palomino Stablemates, one or the other. She's still super pretty and I'm happy to have her.

I finally have a buddy to put on my regular runs shelf with the dapple grey on this mold! I've always liked this mold and I'm loving this rich and creamy buckskin color with the dark black points. This guy is one of my favorites out of this set.

This pretty little Thoroughbred lady is probably one of the nicest shaded grey Stablemates I've seen on a RR. She's a cute little chunky mare with a calm seeming attitude.

This handsome fellow is the favorite of this set! He's gorgeous in black with his only marking being a simple star, his attitude is amazing. He's such a lovely model and I can't wait to get Klaus to complete the conga.

The second favorite of the set, the palomino Warmblood! He's such a beautiful cream color on a stunning mold and I'm so happy they're using the jumper mold again! His coat is by far way nicer then some of their previous palominos. He's absolutely perfect and I adore him.

Lastly we have the Brabant... who won't stand like a dipstick. She's otherwise flawless besides not standing for me, which is too bad because I actually really like her. So until I can find someone to fix her for me or replace her she's in the floor of shame.
