And yippee, look at this! More heavy horses

I really like that Percheron too, too bad he's not very detailed.
Most Papo horses have a lot of personality and interesting poses, as well as decent proportions. But they lack details, and that makes them boring for most people, I think.

Very nice! Manatees are just always wonderful, and this one looks very sweet   

AND the Percheron! Waouw  ! Nice to see a better picture! He looks very promising! Despite the typical quite bulky Papo style, he shows so much power and carries decorations and braids with grace!

He goes straight to my wishlist   

The stolen Schleich manatee, so an ugly figure.
I only like the snow leopard

It is stolen?   I know only the CollectA manatee.. I must investigate   

It is not stolen, it is sold. This manatee is a Maia + Borgess model, it was sold by Schleich, by M+B and now it is a Papo. Animal toys history is full of this kind of things...

Yes your right Christophe, but for me it's stolen

For me it is only a bad idea

Could you please explain what details they are lacking?
I know you are a very good expert when it comes to horses, so I'm sure you are right and I would value your opinion on this.
I have only 2 Papo horses (both draft horses) and the only thing wrong with them is that I think the paintjob is lacking.
Very simple and shiny.
But when you start to look at those horses upclose, you can see they do have subtle sculpted body hair and horse shoes and I love how they turn their ears in different directions sometimes to make it more lifelike.

I agree with Carola however.
Their horse sculpts are always very bulky.
But that's okay for draft horses I guess?

I agree with you! And I also have only 2 Papo horses: the Ardennais mare and the Boulonnais mare!

The pose of that Percheron reminds me of their retired Breton horse!

Yes!
I also have the Ardennais mare,   
* shakes Bojan's hand*
My second one is the black Shire horse mare.

I can understand that the Percheron reminds you of the Breton, because of that real pronounced uplifted left foot.
But that's about it I guess.
Everything else is different.

Yea, Carola, just my words!  First I thought WOW!!! The perche is in my wishlist and the falabella isn't bad either

Thank you Christophe, Manatee mystery solved   

Also very fine Falabella I wonder if he'll be as tiny as Schleich one, which would be nice ofcourse, so that he fits with his breed naturally.

Indeed Drafters got to be heavy, but I think the general Papo style is somehow... Hmm.. How to explain, Papo bulky  

I have also only 2 Papo horses - Ardennes Mare and Shire Stallion. The Shire however, I think is a very good model. He is so alive, and looks good from any angle   And the Ardennes is very sweet too. And alive!

My favourites are Leatherback turtle, Hippo female, wolf pup, bear cub, lion male and from domesticated animals I love Husky and Siamese cat  
Percheron is fine but not on my wish list. I don't know, I guess I just don't have a "click" with this figure… but I don't think it's a bad model
