I just bought a Breyer model named Misty of Chincoteague. Do I have to change her name?
Because most models are mass-marketed, there are literally thousands of Mistys out there, so if you entered your Misty in a show with a dozen other people who also had Mistys, the only way you’d be able to tell the difference between all of them is by the owner’s name! If you really like your model’s name, add a prefix so it’s easier to differentiate from others. Otherwise, you can entirely change the name or keep parts of it, such as Misty Maiden or Shady Oak’s Misty.
