2019 Special Run Breakdowns

2019 Special Run Breakdowns

Guests loved our surprise Silver Charm models at our 25th Birthday Bash in 2014, and still talk about them to this day. In typical BreyerFest fashion, we decided to put a little twist on the theme for our 30th anniversary as well! We could have simply hid 30 pearly models throughout our Special Runs, but we decided to get a bit more creative.

Hidden throughout our Special Run models were slight variations on the originals' colorways with pearly basecoats to tie into our "pearl anniversary." We gave our guests a little treasure hunt to celebrate 30 years of BreyerFest!

BuckyAlt

Let's start things off with Bucky! He might look a little bit unrealistic with his metallic blue spots, but we have a soft spot for our 30-piece Bucky variation! We still love his traditional spots as well.

BannerAlt

Banner made another BreyerFest 2019 appearance in a breathtaking blue/green Glossy Tortuga coloring reminiscent of a special run from our 20th Birthday Bash in 2009 - Gala the Five Gaiter! This 30-piece run was a great accompaniment to the original black and red model.

PepperAlt

Instead of Pepper’s sassy Chestnut Sabino coat, you might have received one of the 30 Grey Sabino models instead. The "Salt" to Pepper, if you will!

RocketAlt

Rocket was painted as a Light Dapple Buckskin, but 30 lucky shoppers walked away with a slight twist on his original color – a Light Dapple Buckskin Pinto.

NatashaAlt

And last but not least, Natasha’s Special Run had 30 Flaxen Liver Chestnut Pintos hidden amongst the Bright Bay Pinto models.

QuillGloss

QuillAlt

This year’s 50/50 matte/glossy split was Quill, with half of the run produced in glossy finish and half of the run produced in matte finish. For our 30th birthday surprise, there were also 30 extra-special Amber Champagne Blanket Appaloosas hidden in his run throughout the weekend.

DianaBraided

DianaLoose

DianaAlt

Diana had a total of three variations! Roxy’s loose and braided manes made an appearance in this run. 50% of the Diana models were produced with hunter braids, and 50% were produced with a flowing mane and tail. We also couldn’t forget our 30 special models for Diana! A few lucky fans walked away with a glossy Bay Splash Pinto models with a loose mane.

Stay tuned to find out the official breakdown for our Hero’s Welcome Surprise Special Run! In the mean time, which models did you get? Were you lucky enough to return home with a special surprise?

How fun! The pearl looks lovely.

I’m disappointed at the lack of classics in this year’s special runs. As the Stablemate and Traditional ranges get more and more attention, I worry about the classics being discontinued forever.

Thanks so much wanted a variation so bad!!!!

Colleen Roberts - September 17, 2019

Close to the end both times and was surprised to get the last Quill Glossy even at that my favorite

Lindsay Burrow - September 17, 2019

Very neat variations!! How many were made of each of the original specials runs?? How many Quills were made total??

This was my first Breyer Fest! Being a bit if a large Con Veteran, I really enjoyed this Event! I was in the 10am Special Run Line and had no idea that it was a Blind Pack. What a fun surprise all the way around! Sadly I missed on Banner by 5 people in front of me. But then I ended up with a Glossy Pinto Surprise Horse which was gorgeous! Upon spotting the Deco Horse, I fell in love and was able to swap someone who was in front of me in the Breyer Store Line later!

Thank you for sharing all of the gorgeous Colorways you all did for the 30th. Please continue such variety going forward, I can’t wait for next year!

Curious how many Glossy Dianas with free mane did you run?

Deanna Duncan - September 19, 2019

Now I want my turn to get a model when will this happen please

Molly - July 26, 2019

Thank you for this update on the runs! I got the iridescent blue Bucky. Honestly, at first I was kinda bummed out, (not to mention confused!) but I fell in love with him so quickly that I’m actually extremely happy that I didn’t get the normal coloring! Thanks Breyer, it was a lovely surprise!

Denise - July 26, 2019

Yes I received a “Salt and Pepper” silver pinto Pepper! I was 10th from the very back of the line in my Friday 11 am time slot and all that was left was Bucky and Pepper which I had wanted anyways. I was surprised and delighted to find the silver pinto! She is absolutely stunning and so thrilled to have pulled one I love her and my favorite model from this year’s Breyerfest! Please make more pearly pintos on models all of these were gorgeous and thank you Breyer!

GALE J Good - July 26, 2019

Thought Breyer outdid themselves with the variety of models available. At home with my cough medicine, I enjoyed reading about others’ experiences. Thank you for post photos of the 30 special runs which up to now I could only imagine.

Riley Mueller - July 26, 2019

OMG!!!! I have the Light dapple buckskin of Rocket!! I t was my first breyerfest and I almost traded it for a suprise!!! I thought it was a split run of half pinto and half buckskin. I love the fact you posted this!!!!!!!
