Conga! G1 Silky Sullivan

The original ceramic Hagen-Renaker mold, #30 Mini Silky Sullivan39, was sculpted by Maureen Love Calvert, and leased from the company by Breyer for production in plastic. The Silky Sullivan mold was released in 1976 and was discontinued along with the other Generation One molds at the end of 2005.

During this time, Breyer released five regular runs and nine special runs on this mold, putting him in a three-way tie with Citation and the Thoroughbred Mare for the third least used G1 Mold.
