BreyerHorses Traditional Series | Leif | Limited Edition Decorator Model | 13.5" x 9.5" | Model #1879

This is a Christmas gift. I didn’t really care for it in the photo but knew the person wanted it. It was a treat when it arrived. It is really gorgeous, different in a proud patriotic way & well made & painted as expected. Would purchase again.

This is the first decorator model I have ever purchased for myself and he does not disappoint. He is well painted ad really striking.

Such a beautiful horse. My daughter loved it!

This horse is absolutely gorgeous and I can’t wait to see my Granddaughters face Christmas morning!

This new horse was added to my Fall centerpiece. It is gorgeous!!

model is exactly as shown

Absolutely LOVE this model—the best Halloween one so far. The color is perfection and the pictures don’t do it justice! I will probably leave it out on display all year long. Don’t hesitate, just buy it.

Just like the picture amazing

I love my Breyer horse and came in Great shape

Lovely model.

Cheval Breyer superbe. Couleur super sympa. Original. Je recommande au amoureux des chevaux. Merci amazon

Statua limited edition prodotta da Breyer con i colori della bandiera americana

Lovely collectors model! I find Breyer models can be hits or misses in more recent years, but this one is a definite hit. I appreciate the frog detailing on the hooves. It gives them a delicate look along with their pale pinkish color. Which if you are new to the world of Breyer, you will find the model serial number on back right hoof in most cases. I don't keep any of my models anywhere near sunlight, so I wasn't expecting the glow effect. Nor was it a reason for me purchasing it. I love the green oilslick combined with the pose, and the face detailing. Which on the note of the green color, it is stunning!!Back to the glow in the dark, I woke up a few nights ago to see this beauty glowing brightly. Not sure how or when light or sunlight touched it, but needless to say it must've at some point.Very impressive that the glow did indeed continue to glow until daybreak. I love the beautifully scripted Maelstrom 2022 on the belly. The paint and shading are perfect. Now unfortunately my model arrived with a sizable and noticeable hole, that runs clean through the model into the hollow area of the mold via the nose/mouth. There couldn't possibly be a worse place for a defect such as this! As due to its placement, cannot be hidden or fixed. I reached out to the seller asking for a partial refund which didn't go well at all at first. Especially as I'd also purchased another collectors Breyer model (JEWELS) from them the same time I purchased this one, with more in my cart. I am not the type to complain and very much dislike doing so but couldn't help but be quite upset. In any case we were able to resolve the issue satisfactory and fair, to both of us in the end. I greatly appreciate their time and speedy responses.☆☆UPDATE: I collected Breyer's as a kid in the 70's & 80's as dolls weren't my thing. So it's only been more recently that I've decided to get back into collecting them. That hole in the side of his mouth drives me crazy so I did some investigating. Turns out the hole is for air and gases to escape while making. (Not for bridles as I semi suspected or defect.) IF there are going to be holes in your model, they'll either be like mine at the corner of the mouth, or in one of the nostrils. None of my beautiful vintage Breyer's have this. Other makers put these holes in the groin area so why can't Breyer?? Horses like Maelstrom are pure art. Why ruin a gorgeous piece of art like this? Had I of purchased this guy directly from Breyer, I'd most definitely be inquiring about this practice. Especially as now a person won't know until they have any horse in hand, as to if it has the release hole. So please keep this in mind and don't be surprised if you receive a Breyer model like this.☆☆ If you are looking for a unique item to add to your collection or as a gift, I highly recommend this beauty! Should you incounter any issues with your purchase(s), I highly recommend reaching out to this seller. I will definitely continue to support and purchase from them, which is to say that i 100% recommend their shop. 10/10 for communication and care!Hope this helps.
