Belated Breyerfest!


Breyerfest 2025! 

I know this is a Copperfox blog, but I'm a Breyer collector too, so Breyerfest will always be a big deal in this household.  I was not able to attend this year in person because of family obligations, but fortunately I had some wonderful friends who were able to do pickups for me!

I asked my friend Macie to try to get me variations on Yolo because the fluffy-foots are my favorite.  Well, she delivered.



There was much squealing over the phone when they called to say one of mine was the 1 of 75 holographic variation.  We're giving partial credit to designated Breyerfest good luck husband, Ken, who was the one opening models.  I still owe him dinner from the last rare model his luck earned me so this boy will be showing as "Ken's Meal Ticket."  Coming soon to Region 7.



As the one stuck at home with reliable internet, I agreed to pick up Shindigs for everyone.  Which resulted in a vizsla-sized pile of Shindigs appearing on my porch randomly because they all decided to show up at once.  

We had a digital opening party where everyone picked their boxes and I opened them all on stream.  And I got to return the luck!  He's not mine to keep, but I got to hold and admire him.  And he will be very loved in his final home with Kelly.  


The other horses weren't quite as awesome, but it was a wonderful lineup this year and I love all of them.  A dressage mold in fun colors as the surprise, another fun example of the horse silhouette pattern on Silver and one of my favorite molds, Old Timer.    Not to mention a really nice set of realistic stablemates.



There was a distinct lack of new Copperfoxes added at this years Breyerfest despite my little minions at the Clarion shopping for me.  But I did take advantage of the power of FOMO to motivate me to finally get all of the traditional foxes unboxed and on their shelf.  Not pictured two OOAKs, and matt Brigadier.
