Breyers in Online Games!

You'll never know where Breyers will pop up, even in virtual worlds!!

From an Online Game "Hidden Object":


Right near the center-top you can make out out the Breyer "Rimrock" on the Adios mold...just barely! Neat!

And... from another hidden objects game, "Animal Agents"...right in the center we see a little silver Classic Mustang Foal (trust me, it's there)

Thanks to the wary eyes of DooWiki on Blab for these leads!

Hoarders: Buried Alive - TLC


When I heard about this episode, I thought it was the already-documented A&E "Hoarders" episode with the model horses in it. But no, this is a fresh, all-new episode of TLC's copycat series, "Hoarders: Buried Alive" that aired 8/22/10. Haven't been able to get any screen caps yet, so if anyone is able, let me know!

I did find pix from a local news article on the episode. Most interesting is the close relationship between "collecting" and "hoarding". I hope I'm still in the Collecting column, lol!

This might be one of the first times a Peter Stone product has been featured in this Blog! I guess it's only a matter of time! Congratulations, Peter!

Obsessed

This Breyer Sighting is from the A&E TV series, "Obsessed" (Season 2, Episode 13). Kind of hard to see the Breyer "Rimrock" on the Adios mold on the dresser.

Thanks to the sharp eyes of Heather H. for this contribution!

Thank You For Smoking

No matter what movie I'm watching, I always keep an eye out for Breyers or model horses in the background! "Thank You For Smoking" was no exception!


Granted, it's not a horse, but a Breyer Longhorn Bull! Hey, close enough!

K-Pax

Who would guess that the Sci Fi flick, "K-Pax", would have Breyers in it! Even stranger, who the heck keeps their Breyers on top of the refrigerator????



Looks like the Breyer FAS #814 from 1989-90, and the Classic Andalusian Mare in Buckskin up there. Too bad they didn't use Running Stallions, then they'd fall over every time they closed the fridge door!

Thanks to Blabber Kim. A for this great detective work!

The Lovely Bones

It's getting to be that just about any movie that involves a young female in danger is guaranteed to have model horses in it somewhere!! (War of the Worlds, The Dead Girl, Taken). "The Lovely Bones" turned out to be no exception, although ironically, the Horse Shaped Object (HSO) was actually in the little BOY'S bedroom!


You can tell it's the little boy's room because of the race car wall paper. And up on the shelf, an old Marx Johnny West series horse and rider (Is that Pancho the pony? I believe so). This movie takes place around 1973-74, I don't believe they were making the "Best of the West" toys then, which means this might be a hand-me-down. Poor kid doesn't have any of the accessories for it, not even a bridle!


If there's one thing good to say about Susan Sarandon, she certainly plays boozy old broads very well!
