Lipizzan Stallion ~ 25th Anniversary Edition Lipizzaner Tour SR

What makes this model special is his box!  We don't say that very often, but in this case, it's true.  The elegant Lipizzan stallion's original release was retired in 1980, but he was re-released in 1993 in, of course, the same alabaster color.  Out of the box, they can be hard to tell apart, except that the re-release has grey shading in his mane, the bottom of his tail, and on his face.  But the box tells his special story:  The 1993 release was made only for the touring show "The Wonderful World of Horses Starring the World Famous Royal Lipizzaner Stallions."  That means this guy went on tour with the horses and was available for sale at their events.  Around 5000 were produced, and IDYB gives sale dates as "1993-1998," so it's possible that it took the tour group a few years to sell them all originally.

He is Factory Mint with a few specks of overspray as always.  He features muscle shading, grey ears, and soft muzzle pinking.  He even comes with his original box.  He comes from the herd of Linda Dean, and on the end of his box, there's a sticky note indicating he was purchased at the show in Las Vegas in September, 1995.
