The Lancelots arrived - I ordered one with a pair of blind-bag SMs, and found two helpful Blabbers to order for me. Ended up with 2 blue, one Appy (my order), a palomino mini-Magnolia, and the funky gold-peach Andalusian. Already worked a swap to get a palomino, which should be here on Friday.
These blues are gorgeous, and I don't just say that because I have a thing for blue horses. There are gold/green undertones on the flanks, the masking is really good overall, and the color is NICE. The star is shaped like a conch shell - they were going with an ocean theme, I guess.
Appy Lancelot is also darn nice. The spots are all masked, I'm pretty sure - they're all very uniformly placed in the pictures I've seen.
After Gwenevere and another blind-bag SM turned up in a bubble mailer (Seriously, Breyer??!!) I sent them an email about the unacceptability of mailing SMs like that. Especially $20 SR Stablemates. They offered, I thought, to replace the mini box, since mine got kind of smushed. Turns out that they sent a whole other Gwenevere, in the usual super-sturdy brown mailer. So now I have two Gwens. New Gwen, I think, is one of the ones with the straighter head/neck, but it's hard to tell from some angles. She does seem to be less stable than Old Gwen.
