Breyer Classics Black Beauty Horse and Book Set (1:12 Scale), 8 years and up

I was so excited to find this package for sale. I read all the Black Stallion books when I was young, and they affected me deeply. As a teenager I had a dark brown Thoroughbred gelding (who sometimes behaved more like a stallion, and he was a powerful teacher for me. Two years ago, I discovered that Breyer horses were available and got the favorite I'd had when younger and missed the most. Then my daughter got me a Breyer of a contemporary race horse that developed a relationship with a young boy who was very sick and that friendship gave the boy joy in his final months. Discovering that this package exited gave me great joy, and the quality is wonderful. Cover image is beautiful and totally satisfying my imagination of the horse I'd read about, The Breyer also matches this same image. Just to the right of where the Breyer stands is my movie poster of THE BLACK STALLION movie. All of this is in my home office, where I many hours, daily. That's what I'm smiling broadly while I write this review

My daughter loved this figure and book. Great quality and arrived quickly.

I used to collect the Breyer horses as a kid. How I wish I still had them. My granddaughter loves horses, and these have excellent quality and detailed features. Sadly, the selection for starting a collection for her isn't what it used to be, or I would buy more. I will likely buy more since they are perfect for horse lovers. They are uniquely different, and the quality is the same as it was 50 years ago.

This is great. I purchased this as a (Arabian theme) decoration in consideration of Palestinian people. It's much better than I thought and bigger so I'm going to need a better display shelf. It's worth the money. Also adorable for animal lovers.

This Breyer horse was well made and my granddaughter loved it. She did drop it and it held up great.

I have enjoyed Breyer’s horses since I was a child myself in the 70s. I had this exact same Misty and Stormy set, and was able to buy a similar one for my niece. The black stallion was my favorite book as a third grader, and I was pleased to share it with my niece, who is getting ready for fifth grade. Turns out she’s already read the book, but didn’t have a copy of it herself. I enjoyed her excitement at playing with the horses as soon as she unwrapped them, and she was very excited about the books. It makes me happy to see the combination of toy and book spark such interest. Excellent quality set, and the books seem like it will be durable enough for an 11 year old. The only issue is that the black stallion was perhaps compressed in shipping, and would not stand up without immediately falling over. I couldn’t see any obvious flaw or damage, and she absolutely refused to allow me to return it. She shoved napkins and pebbles underneath its feet to make it stand up while she was playing with it. I’m going to still call it a hit.

Beautiful, but a little smaller than I expected.

Bought this for my granddaughter who loves horses and she absolutely loved it

Passt........

Fantastic product, fun and educational. Highly recommended.

Very cheap looking poor quality and detail like something you would buy in the pound shop. My granddaughter collects schleich horses but see these online as bigger so bought for her birthday, disappointing is an understatement

Den ska användas i ett diorama.
