Breyer Collector’s Club Show Jumping Warmblood Test Run Lottery
Breyer is once again offering Breyer 2017 Collector’s Club Members the chance at a Test Run Lottery. Winning the lottery gives you the opportunity to purchase a chestnut roan test run Breyer Show Jumping Warmblood. Collector’s Club Members may enter once per day until August 14th, 2017. The price for the winner to purchase is $850 including postage. At first, I thought this fellow looked a bit too similar to the Breyer 579 Show Jumping Warmblood in chestnut. However, the more I look at the test run, the more I see the differences between the two.
Here is what Breyer has to say about the Test Run Chestnut Roan Show Jumping Warmblood (you must be logged in to your Breyer Collector’s Club account to see the link):
Exclusive Opportunity for Collector Club Members!
Exclusively for Breyer Collector Club members! Breyer test run models are initial decos painted up to see how a particular color might look on a particular sculpture. Or, they may be created to test out a painting technique or new colorway. Not all test run models are used, and they may vary over time as different painting techniques are developed and tested. Test run models are sold as is, with several photos and descriptions of any wear. We’ve decided not to attempt to touch up older test runs as we’ve found that this can alter their character and uniqueness. Each model has a fixed price and interested members enter a random draw for the ability to purchase the test piece. We enjoy sharing these special pieces with you and hope you enjoy them!
The action-packed Show Jumping Warmblood has had many test colors over the years. With his keen attitude and athletic stride, he wears a variety of hues well! This particular test run was painted circa early 2000’s. He’s a very well done splatter roan chestnut with three small socks with character, and a unique lightning blaze. His tri-eyes sport a U-shaped brown iris and eyewhites in the back corners of his eyes. He’s really nicely shaded on both the body and the mane and tail, with slightly darker lower legs and grey shading on the bottoms of his hooves. This fellow has a couple of irregular paint spots on his chest (visible in photos) and underneath (not shown). He also has a slightly rougher texture on his back from the way he was buffed. Overall, he’s a super looking test! He comes with standard clear base.
The Warmblood test piece is priced at $850 and comes with a certificate of authenticity. Only 1 piece is available for purchase.
I might just be tempted enough to enter this lottery for the chance to purchase. I’ll have to think on that blaze a bit though, I’m not sure that I’m a fan of it.
Will you be entering the lottery?
