Kosta`s miniature models :)

Hello everybody,
I`m not shure where is good to post this, so I`ll try here.
But if somebody has a better idea, please share with me

So, I want to share with you one of my favorite horse models.
It is old enough model, I have it since I`was a child...so let`s say, it is with me around 30 years already.

I present to you , the Black Beauty :

It is great looking horse, full of power,
but this what makes him very unique and attractive, you can see on the next photo.

Ta daaaa :

 He is soooo small
I even don`t know how I didn`t lose him for so many years.  
For this small size, he has absolutely amazing details. Unfortunatelly it is hard to show them only with photos.

The problem is, that I don`t know nothing for this model.
I was thinking, that is maybe a Kinder toy from a choco egg,
but I asked one big collector of Kinder toys and he is shure, that it is not a Kinder toy.
I even don`t remember who gave it to me, when I was a child...

But , I love this Black Beauty :)
Let`s see him in some comparison photos.

Together with another model, which I just adore - Breyer Stablemate - Black Andalusian :

I think he makes a good wild mustang, wild and free

That's unbelievable, I was also expecting it was much larger.
Fantastic that it survived all this time.

Yes, this kind of figures are often representative of Mustangs, though, the long neck and straight profile made me think about a saddlebred. Well, American it is for sure.

Thank you very much Laura, Karin, LeeAnn and Roger
Thank you LeeAnn and Roger for the info.
So let it be : Good Wild Mustang

Wow, this is really small horsie, so cute! And very nicely sculpted for such little scale.
AND with a unique story, as you said it's quite incredible that you still have hi since about 30 years, such small things are easy to loose. Thank you for sharing this story with us Kosta. Great photos too
I also don't know what brand can it be, never seen one like that.

What a fantastic, tiny little beautyful horse !!!  

Amazing that you have been able to look after min since your childhood  

What a fantastic picture

Very nice horses Kosta :)

Incredible story Kosta, so old, so tiny and so beautiful horse

It is funny to think that the smaller of the pic is by far the more priceless

And after these horse models, I`ll surprise you with very interesting tiny wild animal models :)

Oh, I love also these other horses. Specially the horse with base.
Probably Hugh knows about them, he seems expertized in these small figures.
Looking forward to see your other microscopic figures!

Thank you very much Roger :)
Yes, this silver horse with base look`s amazing :))

So many great little horses, great miniature figures.

They are beautiful I have never seen them before.. Congratulations, that you have preserved them so many years in that good condition!

Ohhh, I love those three also !!!

Absolutely amazing detail, both in the horses and tack !
And they are so different , - each one has his own charm , but also in total ballance . Actually some of the manufacturers of larger models could learn a thing or two

Thank you very much for your comments ladies

Yes, I absolutely agree with you

They are very cute, I really like the silver one. Is it pewter?

Ok, let`s see if the next models will be interesting for you :)

They are all metal tiny models.
And they are all old enough
Half of them are Kinder toys with stamp: Giodi.
They are made it around 1985.
So lets first see this group.

I bought them from a big collector of Kinder toys.
According to him, they are rare and some of them - expensive.
I saw on Ebay some very huge prices for these tiny models.
Some of them are difficult to find.

Like this Tiger. With exactly this color, he is the most rare and expensive of them :

Actualy I don`t know any brand, but the guy told me, that they are also from 1980-90.
He bought them from a suvenir shops.
They are also metal...looking like gold.
