Were you able to figure out our tricky clue?

Céad Míle Fáilte to our next Special Run reveal – Lugh!

Done on the classic sculpt by Rich Rudish, Sham (mold #410) was originally part of Breyer’s Artist Series in the 1980s. Since this year also happens to be Breyer’s 70^th anniversary, we’ve thrown a few throwbacks like this handsome guy into the mix!

Lugh (pronounced “loo”) has been done for BreyerFest’s Celtic Fling in a richly-shaded medium bay with a high-gloss finish and an unusual feature – a gulastra plume! This unique genetic anomaly was named for the Arabian stallion Gulastra, whose bay descendants were commonly found with a light or flaxen tail instead of a black tail.

With such a strong look about this model, we felt it fitting to name him after one of the most prominent gods in Irish mythology. Portrayed in the folklore as a warrior, a king, and a hero, Lugh is associated with oath-making, the truth, and law. He is celebrated during the summer harvest festival Lughnasadh, which takes place around August 1^st.

We know it’s still cold and grey outside for much of the country, but it’s already March and summer will be here before we know it!
