Pluto the Lipizzaner - Original Release

Lipizzaners were traditionally given two names:  Their first name represents their sire line and their second name represents their dam.  There were six founding sire lines, so every Lipizzaner has one of six first names.  One of those is Pluto, and this is Breyer's tribute to that founding sire of this magnificent breed.  Sculpted by Jeanne Mellin Herrick, this initial release on the mold ran from 1991-1995.  For greater realism, Breyer opted to paint his white coat rather than leave it raw plastic, giving him a chalky appearance which is really handsome on this release.

This fellow is still attached in his original box.
