This was a fun little guy to customize! I found this tiny plastic Spanish fighting bull (Toro de Lidia) in an antique shop a while back. He was probably a vintage souvenir from Mexico or Spain, and his original black paint job was flaking off. So he got sanded and repainted to this lovely golden brown--a color I may do on a Breyer in the future since it turned out so nicely. I'm not a fan of bullfighting, so I like to think that he's sparring with another bull, or defending his herd from danger.

He is available at https://www.etsy.com/listing/1667496430/bruno-custom-golden-brown-spanish

Photographer’s note:

Not sure if this bleeding is part of the ‘velvet’ antler growing or if it’s due to fighting. I suspect the former. I just thought the red looked really striking surrounded by the greys and whites all around.
