Breyer The Phantom and Misty Gift Set 1863, Multicolor, 00

Perfect mother and foal Breyer horse set!! SO cute, and super detailed! Love them!

I've collected Breyers since 1977 and I can't believe it took them THIS LONG to make a Phantom and Misty set, but you bet they were coming home here! They've been out of stock on Breyers website every time Ive looked or I'd have used my 10% off there, but being this is a one year release and I've missed others waiting, I went ahead and got them here instead. Love them!

I normally don't order anything unless it says sold and shipped by Amazon but this time I didn't notice. But my products arrived very fast in perfect condition. Would be happy to order from again.

Love this set!

Purchased for my daughter who adores any and everything horse related. And Breyer horses are her new go to must-have. As any parent in this position knows, them plastic horses get expensive! However, purchasing through Amazon I spent less, got the same amazing quality that Breyer is known for, and got a happy child in the process. Total parenting win!

I've collected Breyers and other model horses since the 50s. I read Misty of Chincoteague and other Marguerite Henry books as a kid. We went to the islands first in 1972, the last year Misty was alive, and living on Chincoteague. I got my Misty model at the little stable on Chincoteague where she was living....and it was utterly wrong. I repainted the original model to match photos of the real pony, and for fifty years, Breyer screwed up the pattern. They based the head pattern on a mis-interpretation of the fabulous Wesley Dennis art on the book cover; that shows a palomino pinto foal, in typical near white foal coat, the underlying dark palomino beginning to show around the eye as she sheds out. Dennis knew his equines. Breyer usually does, but boy did they screw this up big time. FIFTY YEARS!FINALLY, this Phantom and Misty set was based on actual photos of the actual ponies (not book descriptions or the film which have Phantom different). The models are repainted versions of the old Misty and Stormy models (Breyer did always get Stormy correct). Phantom and Misty is fabulous, correct, and a great addition to any collection no matter the age of the collector (I played with mine as a kid, and they hold up). It is the 75th anniversary of the book's publication, fifty years after the original Misty model, and fifty years since Misty passed on. This is a great set honoring a pony who put a tiny obscure island (Chincoteague) on the map, helped preserve a wild island (Assateague) for future generations, and helped rebuild the Chincoteague herds after the storm made famous in Stormy, Misty's Foal. A nice legacy for the pony breed, the islands, and Marguerite Henry and Wesley Dennis who inspired us as kids.The picture shows the original Misty and Stormy models (my repainted Misty) in Misty's hoofprints in front of the Island Theater.

Great Breyer set. Beautiful horse models.
