Conga! G1 Thoroughbred Standing Foal

The original ceramic Hagen-Renaker mold, #25 Mini Thoroughbred Foal 40, was sculpted by Maureen Love Calvert, and leased from the company by Breyer for production in plastic. The Thoroughbred Standing Foal mold was released in 1975 and was discontinued along with the other Generation One molds at the end of 2005.

For a mold which saw limited production years, the run count is surprisingly high. Breyer released nine regular runs and eight special runs on this mold, putting him one ahead of the G1 Thoroughbred Lying Foal.
