Callahan – Breyer 2018 Collectors Club Exclusive Gambler’s Choice

Squee, it’s CALLAHAN! Gosh, I’ve been truly terrible about keeping up on Breyer news. However, Callahan truly deserves a blog post of his own so here we are! He is the Breyer 2018 Collector’s Club Exclusive Gambler’s Choice model. If the same pattern follows as past year, this will be the only Classics Gamblers Choice model offered for 2018. However, there has been a Traditional Scale Gambler’s Choice Holiday model released released by Breyer these past few years. The 2017 holiday season featured Emerald, Amethyst and Sapphire (original blog post here).

The Breyer 2017 Gambler’s Choice model was Calvin (original Calvin blog post here).

The Breyer 2016 Gambler’s Choice model was one of my very favorites, Scotty (original Scotty blog post here)!

Similar to Scotty, Breyer kept with the ‘mini me’ theme and this time features popular colors featured on the Wintersong or Othello mold (the current release on the Wintersong mold is Xavier the Mystical Unicorn). What is especially neat about Callahan is that he features the same mold Wintersong where as Scotty featured three different molds (Cleveland Bay, Strapless and Nokota.) To my knowledge, Calvin was not a miniature model of any particular model horses. Callahan is the Breyer Classics Shire B mold in a tantalizing trio of colors. For reference, the Breyer Classics Shire A mold does not have his head tucked like Callahan. An example of the Breyer Classics Shire A mold is Triton.

The three colors that Callahan comes in are:

Matte silver bay with silver and blue ribbons and bobs. He is a miniature version of the highly sought after Silverado.

Glossy Silver Filigree with red and green ribbons and bobs. He is a miniature version of Silver Snow (I regret selling this one!)

Glossy Palomino Sabino Pinto with gold and purple ribbons and bobs. He is a miniature version of Pamplemousse.

Direct from Breyer, Callahan’s price is $30 plus $10.95 for domestic shipping (boo FedEx SmartPost!) This brings the total to $40.95 which I feel is quite reasonable. I’m hoping for the silver bay Callahan and I’m betting that many other people are as well. Some day I will own a Breyer Silverado but I would be thrilled with a miniature version for now. Let us know who your favorite color is and what color you receive. I should start a poll for this! Have I mentioned SQUEEE?!

Here is what the Breyer website has to say about Callahan (Breyer website link here):
