Toy vs. Collectible (a guide for parents)Dec 06, 2008
By B. Groff
I have yet to see a balanced review of Breyer's products on this website, so here are a few opinions as a collector. First off, Breyers are toys, but I do not consider them toys for young children (under 6 years of age). That being said, there are a few tips I have for parents in buying Breyers for their children. First, I recommend either the classic or traditional scale models, due to they are made from a heavier plastic than the paddock pals or stablemates, and should be less prone to breakage. They are not indestructable however. Mini whinnies (models about 1 inch tall) are made from a difficult to destroy plastic, but don't have the detail of the larger models, but come in some nice play sets. If buying as toys, look at the picture of the model-does it look like it stands on its own, or does it have a large base. Salinero and Huckleberry Bey are more collector's items than toys, being very unstable. Another thing to look for is areas that might be prone to break-is there really thin plastic at the top of the tail. Breyer plastic is difficult to glue, but they can be fixed with the right glue. Sometimes it is better just to sell the broken horse and buy a new one though. Draft horses such as the Shire and Clydesdale with thick legs are excellent first choices. Sierra Blanco I consider a good first choice as his tail is well attached to his body even though it isn't obvious in the pictures. Salinero has a really thin tail for comparison, along with that unstable base. Another thing is that Breyer paint is rather delicate so don't expect the model to stay in perfect condition if it is played with,although they can be washed with soap and water. As far as accessories, for a younger child I prefer the classics accessories, while not as realistic, they are easier to use. I cannot rate the durability though as the only accessories that I have are with their Christmas horses, and while I take them on and off the horses once a year, that really doesn't show how well they would stand up to play. Another thing to remember is the possibility of accessories staining the horse, which shouldn't happen under normal play, only if the accessories are left on the horse for long periods of time. As far as being a collectible item, buy it if you like it, not as a long term investment.
