Question about selling breyer horses

1 New Comment: Join In!

Hey everyone,

  I have a massive haul of Breyer horses (mostly NIB, all from the late 80s, throughout the 90s and a few from 00-03) that I have no desire to keep.  They are all discontinued, soem are rare.  How can I go about finding their value (Ebay doesn't have most of these models available) and getting a fair price for them?

Can anyone help with a memory loss...?  I have a collection from the 80's... and it includes a bay Stud Spider mold.  No white markings.  Everything on the breyer sites shows one with hind socks from a JAH special run.  My mom probably bought it for me from JAH but he has no white....  need help.  Thanks.

Breyer Manco Capac, 2010 Spring Collectors Model

Be the First to Comment!

Manco Capac is the 2010 Spring Collectors Choice model.  This is a Peruvian Paso Fino, rendered as "a dark red roan with dark head and legs."  The Collectors Choice line is shaped by Breyer fans - Breyer takes submissions for model suggestions from the public, then allows fans to vote on the models to choose which will go into production.

Manco Capac uses the Peruvian Paso Stallion mold, which was created by Linda York in 2002.  The standard Peruvian Paso model that most of us recognize is a dapple grey stallion, which was in production from 2002 through 2004.  However, this mold has also been used for several BreyerFest special editions over the years, and has proven to be popular.

Breyer Sherman Morgan Model

Be the First to Comment!

Also featured in the latest Just About Horses (JAH) magazine was a retrospective of Sherman Morgan, "beloved representative of the breed," and star of Breyer's line.  Sherman Morgan is one of the more popular Breyer molds.  It was originally created in 1987 by Jeanne Mellin Herrick, and has been used as many different models since.  

This is one of the molds which has been used for a lot of the "fantasy" variations, including a special model Carpe Diem, "The Dawn of First Light," which was produced in 2000 to celebrate the millennium.  Carpe Diem is "metallic gold fading to sky blue, with metallic flaxen mane and tail."  Which is… I'll just say "an eye-catching color combination" and leave it at that.

Breyer Connoisseur Model Alvaro

Be the First to Comment!

The most recent issue of Breyer's Just About Horses (JAH) magazine featured the first Connoisseur model of the decade: Alvaro, a "sooty buckskin with sabino markings and a bi-colored tail."  As with all Connoisseur models, Alvaro is a limited edition - only 350 will be made - and his piece number will be marked on his hoof.

Alvaro is based on the old model Diablo, which was a semi-rearing mustang originally designed by Chris Hess in 1961.  Diablo is one of Breyer's most used molds, and has been in almost continuous service since it was first created.  The mold produced the popular Bucephalus, and was also used for San Domingo the Medicine Hat Stallion.

Breyer Esprit 2010 Equestrian Games Model

Be the First to Comment!

Breyer's newest Traditional model, Esprit, is scheduled to be released next month.  Esprit is a special new mold, created for the 2010 Equestrian Games, which Breyer is sponsoring as the "Official Model Horse of the 2010 Games."

Esprit is a new mold for 2010, created by Kathleen Moody.  This beautiful windswept dapple gray horse (breed unknown) also graced the cover of the most recent issue of Just About Horses (JAH), Breyer's model horse magazine.

Esprit is a lovely mold, although it looks like it might be a bit "tippy" in real life.  Collectors, have your Blu-Tak at the ready!  I'm not so sure about the realism of the tucked head posture in conjunction with the extended front leg, but it is undeniably beautiful.  Let's call this one "sculpture" and leave aside the realism.

Be the First to Comment!

Rachel AlexandraRachel AlexandraRachel Alexandra, the racehorse voted "Horse of the Year" at the Thoroughbred Racing Association's Eclipse Awards earlier this week, has been announced as the latest choice for a Breyer "portrait model."  Rachel Alexandra narrowly beat out Zenyatta for the Horse of the Year award, 130 votes to 99, which marks the first time that two female racehorses were finalists for the award.

2009 was an amazing year for female race horses, with both Rachel Alexandra and Zenyatta finishing out the year with perfect winning records.  Rachel Alexandra won all eight of the races she participated in, beating out stallions in several high stakes races including the Preakness, Haskell, and Woodward Stakes.  In fact, she was the first filly to win the Preakness in the 85 years since Nellie Morse won in 1924.

The latest issue of Breyer's newsletter Just About Horses (or "JAH" as it's more commonly owned) is circulating, along with information about Breyerfest 2010.  This year's Breyerfest has a "Hollywood" theme, including the models chosen to be spotlighted (spotlitten?) during the event.

The Breyerfest model which is seeing the biggest buzz is the American Saddlebred horse All Glory.  All Glory is a spectacular horse in his own right.  The bay gelding has won several competitions including Amateur Roadster Under Saddle Class and the Ladies Amateur Roadster to Bike at the World's Championship Horse Show Winners.
