Regular Run Misty's
Misty is Breyer's longest running model and has been in continuous production since 1972. Misty is often paired with Stormy and/or a copy of Misty of Chincoteague.
4 Eyed Misty
Production: 1972 only. #20.
This version was the first, and is also the rarest. It has white spot around the right eye and a brown spot on the left. Marguerite Henry didn't like the circle around her right eye so it was changed. The pinto pattern does not resemble the real Misty. This version was produced in glossy with the matte version being rarer.

Common Misty
Production: 1973-2006. #20.
This third version is common and has a different pinto pattern which closer resembles the real Misty. Palomino or chestnut pinto mare, color depending on individual model. The model still has the brown spot around her left eye, which the real Misty did not have. This version was produced for over three decades and because of that there are many variations in shade and small pattern differences. Other variations of this pattern include semigloss, bi eyes produced only in 1997, and chalky. A very rare Misty on a presentation base was presented to Kendy Allen in 1990 for her work with Misty II.
