"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. Each model has a fixed price and interested members enter a random draw for the ability to purchase the test piece.
What’s better than a Miniature Horse? A pair, of course! Our first Test Run offering of 2024 is a delightful set of black pinto Miniature Horse models created on the Midnight Tango and Merrylegs molds (#467 and #3040ML, respectively). These test pieces were likely created in either the late 2000s or early 2010s.
These Test Run models are in good condition overall with a few small flaws from being handled over the years. These include a handful of shiny marks and hoof edge rubs. Tiny blemishes may be present due to the handcrafted nature of these pieces – see gallery for details. This set is priced at $1,200 and comes with a certificate of authenticity." www.breyerhorses.com.
