In my hit list.

He looks great! One of my favorite breeds and here he is.

Wow, they're beautiful! Thank you Numaan!

Love it!!! Especially liver chestnut, but I will think about repaint too Great sculpt

Numaan, what scale is this one going to be?

I hope he'l be the little scale  VERY nice looking stallion just there  - and quite a relaxed pose for a Deborah CollectA  

Looking very much forward to see the real thing!

Nice horse

Same here, but even if he is a larger scale I might have to get him anyway!

He is really, heally gorgeous  

Not too flashy as some of the others  

Tahnkyou very much, Numaan  

I like the chestnut version, but I must confess Anna's Mojö is better!

Something seems to be a bit off in their legs, but otherwise they are beautiful! You can easily say they are Morgans :)

When I opened this topic I thought immediately on old CollectA Arabians! Yes, I even tried to check if it was a revamped version from these old, textureless and unexpressive horses. Of course it is not and much more I watch pictures, more convinced I am that what I am seeing is a real horse, weird feeling, isn't it?
Well, the pose and some proportions of old Arabian is somewhat similar but this Morgan has a subtile expression and it is much more detailed.

Morgan Stallion Bay look great for me!

Really beautiful   

Here are some photos of the real model   It is said to be the Bay version.

He is of the nice hard material and he seems more glossy in paintwork than older CollectA horses.

Great pictures and congratulations! Morgans are probably not the most beautiful horses of the world but I think CollectA performed an excelent work with that figure, it really looks like a replica of a horse and not just a toy trying to depict a horse. Proportions look excelent and the characteristics of the breed are recognizable. :)
Maybe texture and glossy painting are the less atractive parts of that figure but for a relatively lightbuilt horse, it is a good news to know that CollectA decided to use a harder plastic. I like it!

Just gorgeous!

I agree with you Roger, I think he looks more like a little collectible statue than a toy

Many wouldn't agree with you
Morgans are beautiful breed, especially those from foundation (most pure) lines. Maybe they are not as elegant as e.g. Arabians (which lately tend to look like their own caricatures, but that another topic), but they still have a unique look :) Just a few examples:

The model itself is pretty but is too leggy and generally too "long" and lean - Morgans are more compact conformation-wise.

Magda I love the photos - especially the three ladies   The new CollectA he could maybe be a Morgan/Arabian mix?

I would love to see the Arabians you think of being charicatures of the breed    They sound interesting.

There is a registry for such crossbreeds, they're called Morabs :) They're more refined than Morgans but I don't think they're that leggy.

I meant mainly Egyptian Arabians - especially their very dishy faces which wouldn't allow them to survive in their "natural habitat" (Arabian desert). E.g. Pianissima, the most entitled Arabian horse in the world. She's considered beautiful by many, I think her head is just ugly

Her half-brother (by the same sire, Gazal Al Shaqab), Marwan al Shaqab is not much better:

or this stallion, Royal Colours - he's beautiful (dark bay rabicano  ), except for his head...

THIS is what I consider a beautiful, typey (you can easily recognize the breed), yet not exaggerated Arabian :)

or this guy, stallion Ka Noon Rej - maybe he's not the most beautiful halter Arabian but he's definitely a great example of an Arabian horse that can easily work under saddle:

Magda, Morgan horses are beautiful horses as all horses are, just a personal opinion that they're not the most beautiful breed but beautiful anyway. Your excelent examples show it clearly. Thanks once more for your imput about Morgan and Arabians too.
Carola, probably your favorite lady is the middle one.

It is stunning! Congrats, Carola!   

Thanks for excellent pics!

Thank you Magda, these are some very interesting photos and I like very much to read your thoughts. Indeed Pianissima is very defined, and extreme looking. They remind me somehow of Seahorses.

Now I also know of Morabs   Regarding Deborah's sculpts, I think her models have often a bit too long legs, or maybe it is too short body(the Fjord which Roger mentioned having too short body, which I will have to agree on).

Yes, Roger, Lady in the Middle   

Thank you Jonas
