I love seeing your Christmas hauls. Will you be doing another one this year ?

I NEED werewolf fireheart!!!!!

Agreed. I was disappointed by this year but I have high hopes for next year being an anniversary

*Big hugs* I'm sure you'll make it to in-person BreyerFest someday. Life and money really like to get in the way of things... Your art is amazing! Your diorama came out so good, as well as your customs! The WIP of your tack set was looking really good too! Don't give up on it and I hope to see your work in BCC someday! ♥ This did feel like a bit of an off year for BF. I still enjoyed it but I hope that next year will be even more exciting!

Omg Candace… I’m so sorry. And I do agree.. this year just felt really off. And every year since I got my first variation back in 2020, I’ve been really invested into the variations and I always LOVE the hype around them and the craze!! But this year there was none of that.. only the surprises and no variations.. I hope next year they will make up for it.

I think a lot of us felt a bit ‘meh’ this year! I’m sorry things just didn’t work for you this year - there will be other years and it’ll be better in the future! Congrats again on your win at Bootcamp, it’s so well deserved, and I super hope to keep seeing you create!

I agree. I enjoyed last year's BF was AMAZING (I went online). Awesome models, gorgeus variations! This year? Meh..

Can someone clarify why people have issues with Skydog? As far as I can see from them online, they are a great sanctuary? They seem highly rated and they take good care of their horses. Also my big gripe with the online Breyerfest this year aside from the CCG debacle was the evening show having so many issues. It was almost unwatchable and didn't feel that special.

Yay! I’ve been waiting for this video! Aww man. I’m sorry that you didn’t get exactly what you wanted. I hope you’ll be able to find Fighter and Survivor second hand!🤍

I too had an off BreyerFest. It's hard to explain, but it just didn't feel quite the same. Here's hoping next year is amazing! I really hope you get to go in person one day!! 💜

Honestly, the week for me ended up being more about the people and getting to give back to my community <3 The lack of variations in the SR did not do much to enthrall me into more of them than I'd already wanted to go for, though that plus the Surprise not being a major conga mold like last year meant that I could spend more at the hotel (and buy more than one Stone model lol)! Because I did not do the live show (as I've done on each of my past trips in person), I had time to do a workshop for the first year since my first trip in 2004. It was fabulous to hang out and paint in the A/C especially when this was such a hot year. The theme for next year is setting some pretty lofty potential already, and I hope they follow through on that. As much as this year may have felt like "meh" to some model and theme wise, it would be far more disappointing for next year to be a bust. I hope you get to go next year! <3

I really hope to see you next year ❤

I so appreciate your videos. I just got back into the hobby a couple of years ago. Thank you for posting and giving a busy mom's perspective.

I’m so happy to see a video from Candace. You were not the only person feeling let down by BF this year. The overall mood at the KHP & CHIN was this BF was quite a letdown. I think it started with the switch from Against All Odds to Girl Power. Then, since it was the 35th anniversary of BF the lack of variations was a huge disappointment to most (though I personally can’t stand unannounced/unrevealed variations). Plus people that wanted the glossy Appaloosa Salinero but ended up with the matte were ticked off. They wanted him because he was glossy & Breyer had never shown the glossy version of the matte/glossy split so everyone that the run was all glossy. Those that ended up with the matte we’re trying to trade & most didn’t manage to work one out. Lots of people ordered Miss Independent thinking she was the matte/glossy split & were disappointed to find out it was the Appy Salinero. Winx was an ok choice for the Surprise but many were let down when they found out it was her. Add to all that the heat, the long, slow VIP line on Friday & the problems with the electronic tickets (Breyer does everything on the cheap so of course they picked ClickTix) & this BF was just flat. It should have been exciting & energetic since it was the 35th anniversary of the event but it just wasn’t. I heard lots of people discussing it at the hotel during room sales. The confusion over the tickets, the disappointment over the variations, the long convoluted names for the SR’s & the switching up of the theme. It all added up to a mediocre BF at best. For me personally it was a lackluster BF since my dear friend Andrea Gurdon, the Breyer History Diva, passed away in February & she asked me & Shaun to disperse her collection. She transferred her room at the CHIN over to me & we started selling her models. It was hard to see the models she treasured being sold. So many rare & HTF horses that she worked hard for or diligently searched for went out the door. A test for Phar Lap on the TR Man O’ War, BF raffle & volunteer models, Breyer Event models, rare variations of vintage models plus her VC models which she helped design were sold with the COA’s & pamphlets that she wrote. The worst part was being in her room without her. It all added up to a lackluster & just plain weird BF. Hopefully next year will be better since it’s Breyer’s 75th anniversary but I’m not going up get my hopes up.

Aww, that is such a bummer for the contests... But maybe it was the world unfolding as it should (though it's not often what we want at the time). If money was a constraint, then it might have worked out for the better this time, even if it doesn't feel like it (and trust me, I know how hard RSD can gut punch a person. I'm getting better at it as I get a handle on my own neurodivergence, but it's still a thing.). Especially considering all the effort you put in to try to make it. You really, REALLY tried, and no one can say it was your lack of effort. I'm so sorry it didn't work out this time. But, so far as we are aware, there WILL be a next time, and you can try again after some rest and recovery (and let's face it, building up that nest egg, which, ngl, I also need to do). I hope that you get to attend in person some day soon. I've been considering next year to try for it, but I might have to put it off for a couple more years before I can comfortably afford it. I changed jobs last year to something with a living wage (buh bye retail, so long and thanks for all the fish). But I have a ways to go before I'll be settled enough to put in-person Breyerfest on my list. Just putting it out there for flights, would flying into Cincinnati (or another nearby larger centre) be cheaper for you? It's a relative hop, skip, and jump down to Lexington from there and you could pick up a car at the airport... Just a thought. But I know any time someone is crossing the Rockies, the price goes up it seems. My online Breyerfest worked out pretty well all things considered. But I would credit that mostly due to the fact I am learning to manage my expectations for it. I really wanted Blue Zeus (ultimately, I think Skydog is trying to do their best by the horses, and the story of Blue Zeus, and Goliath and Red Lady before him, really resonated), so I bought him first. No other items. Just him. I got lucky, and my order was filled so fast, he arrived at the same time as my Athenian Lady (though boxed separately). Then I hopped back on, and picked up everything else I wanted, but still moving quickly. Thought I had it all in the bag, when I realized that Alan hadn't actually gotten into my cart, so I had to bite the bullet on a third order and shipping to Canada. There's a long, convoluted story about why I needed that mule, but I definitely did. And I ended up with the green Wild Things, which is what I wanted. It's on display with my Halloween Stablemates now. I think the run numbers are sufficient these days that you will be able to pick everything up eventually (so long as they aren't leaving a bad taste in your mouth because of the disappointment). I definitely look forward to your unboxing video, and I hope your surprises were all glossy to make up for your trouble. Did you get anything in the Second Chance Sale? I missed out on This is My Fight Song, and I wasn't going to get anything. But I wanted to support the format of letting online participants have the same chance at models as in-person ones, so I picked up an Edge of Glory as well, and I'm glad I did. I hope it all works out amazing for you on the year you do get to go in-person. You've certainly earned that much.

i NEED lepidoptera oh my gosh

Did you do a video of your haul?

I love this video! Do you have an updated one with Spectre or will you be making one to include Spectre and now Beowulf?

The werewolf horse is jsut perfection ❤❤ id buy all of them

You are really talented. What would you charge for them? Your ideas are solid. And your art ideas were cool to watch! You have a good eye.

I would be broke if you designed for Breyer!

I LOVE your ideas especially Belladonna and the vampire and bat horses!!! I want either Vermeer or Troubadour as a vampire, and Vermeer as a fae.

I loved all of the concept designs! Peppercorn was my absolute favorite!

Breyer, please hire this woman!! I need Peppercorn, he's precious!!! (I need them all really)

Funny you mention about secretly hoping for Fireheart to be the werewolf model because just the other day I was thinking about what if I customized Blue Zeus to be a werewolf Halloween model, especially if the one I got glowed in the dark (sadly he does not.) I love all the mold choices you picked for possible Halloween SMs. I think they are all very fitting! I did not consider Breyer re-release past Halloween models as SM's on their shrunken molds! :O That is such a fun idea! I really like all your Halloween model ideas, but I think I extra love your "Peppercorn" and "Banshee" ones!

Well theses Ideas are really cool, you should actually work for Breyer and they should do these. Awesome

I love all your videos, and your creative ideas are amazing! I always look forward to seeing your videos!

Honestly I've been looking forward to your Halloween speculation video all year! I love your spec videos because it feels like the Davinci Code but it's made for people in the customs/collecting hobby. <3

Need to start a petition for you to work for Breyer 🤩

I was so surprised when they gave us so few previews this year. Your ideas are beautiful! I especially love Belladonna and Vesper - Breyer really needs to do a bat-winged horse!

Almost forgot. This years ornament isn’t the first time Breyer has miniaturized Silver. There was a Crystal as well. A bit bigger than a SM but not as big as a paddock pal. I’d love Silver as a SM.

These are so good! I love the Vermeer and cancion! I hope they do at least one of these!

I love your ideas! I'd buy them all!

Love them all ❤

Can I just say - you're so good at Photoshop! If I had seen any of these models out of context I would have 100% thought they were real leaks. Actually bummed that they aren't lol

Wow! I really love your Old Bones idea so much!!! 🥰 The skeleton and anatomy is just gorgeous and he’s so perfect!!! It also gives me huge amounts of nostalgia! Disneyland at the haunted mansion in line there is a skeleton/ghost horse pulling a carriage within the line. I loved this little area in line as a child that I’d sit and listen to the horse and imagine it’s skeletal body! It brings back amazing memories. And I wanna say! I’d purchase this horse in a heart beat for that! ❤ The count is also another big favorite! They need to hire you for these incredible concepts alone!

Woo!! I’m excited! ❤

I always look forward to these videos from you and this was no exception 🤩 I absolutely love all your ideas, they’re so well thought out and I love all the ideas behind them! I hope Breyer steps in the same direction cause I literally wouldn’t hesitate to buy all these 😩

Breyer needs to listen to your ideas, I would love an old timer Halloween horse!

You should work for Breyer. These ideas are amazing. I’ve done some Halloween custom SM’s: a red Devil in the G2 Appaloosa with huge black horns, pointed tail & cloven hooves plus a ghost & a mummy.

I was thinking about ideas for certain models too! Love your ideas

Look forward to your Halloween series every year! 🎃💚

So excited to watch this! I’m also happy that Candace is posting videos again. They’re so well done, entertaining & informative plus Candace, you are such a lovely person. You brighten my day.

Your so underrated 😭

I'm so glad you love bearded dragons to! They're so funny! Mine, her name is Olive, she's the cutest little dragon ever 😂! I got her when I was 7, in 2nd grade! I'm now in 5th grade! I can't believe they last that long! So sorry for ur loss, I can't imagine how hard it was. I love watching your video's so much! This video brought me so much Christmas spirit! Your videos always motivate me to move on even if the stress of going back to school will try to stop me! ❤❤❤

I am still stumped on what Jamie was talking about for whatever "will make more sense after"?? We got a few 35th anniversary merch items and the special program, clearly those were the things they were working on for the store... Maybe she meant the splits we got with the runs this year being 35%? Or maybe the deco Surprise and Wild Things being green as a nod to jade? But those both feel rather subtle and also I'm 100% certain they forgot the run counts for everything were in the special program and expected to have that big reveal afterwards.

so is the 2nd chance sale only available to ticket holders?

Such great ideas, I hope it's ok if I make one. ❤

I have no interests in horses or collecting them, so I'm not sure why this video was recommended to me. But I'm so glad it was! What I do love is listening to people talk about their passion and getting to learn about new things. I am now invested in these horses and can't wait to find out if your guesses are correct. I do love color and sparkles so I like your more colorful ideas the best. And a very uneducated guess from me would be a rainbow unicorn! I hope that you get to see some of your predictions be correct and that Breyer Fest brings you lots of fun surprises. High fives all around! Hugs from Sweden.
