The Zippo Pine Bar Mold- My Opinions!

 Hi everyone!


Today, I'm continuing the "My Opinions" series with the Zippo Pine Bar mold. Since I started with Wixom, I figured why not continue at the end of the alphabet! 

Here are almost all of my Zippo Pine Bar models!


This mold holds a special place in my heart, because the original ZPB was one of my first Traditionals! While I don't actively conga him, I like to pick up the colors I am interested in. Here are a couple new additions from this year!

The picture perfect dun came home with me this fall! I managed to get one new in box, so he had all of his stuff which was very cool.

I purchased this guy from a friend during BreyerFest weekend this year. He's not actually my first Zips Chocolate Chip; I had one back when he was first released, and unfortunately sold him several years later. He's one of the ones that I ended up missing, and I'm very happy to have one again!

Here are my opinions on the ones I don't own! :) 

Fleetstreet Max - Breyer's sorrel color tends to not appeal to me, and I'm quite picky about overo pintos. I'm not interested in this one.
Elegance Western Pinto - I think this guy is really cool! I'd love to own one someday (most likely without the accessories, which would at least be cheaper!)
Lil Ricky Rocker - Leopard appaloosas are another color I tend to be picky about, though this one is certainly more realistic than another one I'll mention further down. This one hasn't been on my wish list.
Quarterflash - I used to like this guy a bit more than I do now, I think at this point I'm ambivalent about owning one. I'd like to have him, but he's not one of the top priorities out of what I'd like on this mold.
Chance - He's one that I thought I'd like more than I do. There's nothing specific I dislike about him. He might eventually end up on the wish list. 
Shakopee - He's another one I really used to like, but now I think he is too similar to Zipped in Black magic, who I like more. So, I'm not sure that I'll want to track down both. 
Zipped in Black Magic - As I just mentioned, I basically see this guy as a more realistic version of Shakopee. He's one of only three models from BreyerFest 2019 I'd still like to add someday (as well as the Gray Pepper and Man of the Hour, but both of those are a lot more expensive!) 
Balboa - I wish he'd been a different roan- with the flaxen in the mane and tail put me off of him. Though my wallet is pretty happy!
Zeppelin - He's kind of quasi-realistic in my opinion, so I'm really glad he doesn't appeal to me!
Confetti - I also used to like him more, but he's another one that has kind of fallen out of my favor. 
Atascadero - Another pinto that I'm really glad I'm not interested in! 
As I talked about with Wixom, I don't specifically seek out the glossy versions of regular runs that are released as Live Show prizes. 

Next in the series - the Zebra!
