CollectA 2014: HORSES - Lusitano Mare Bay & Grey Variations (88693 + 88694)

A pair of pretty fillies - to those who wanted more female animals, well here you are!    Personally I love the grey version, gorgeous shade.

Yes, I agree grey version is in very pretty shade. I also like head of this mare. However I think compared to CollectA stallion of this breed her style looks less detailed, a bit simplified. But I like her anyway.

Very nice ! I love them. One of it is in my hit list.

Oooh, beautiful!

I want to touch that shiny coat!

I love her face!

The head looks very nice on her. I love the grey one as well!

I prefer the gray one, but still nice models.

Might they be in the deluxe size?

I hope not, I must admit    

2014 is a good year again for our horse collectors     

    I like her very much. In 1:12 scale she would be a good match for the Andalusian stallion   

wonderful!!

I like the gray one!

I hope not, too, since I don't have much space.

I'm not a specialist but I like very much the pose, it seems very natural to me.

Well, they ARE in deluxe size, 1 : 12 scale. I think I'm not going to buy it, since it is too large for my space. Too bad, they are so beautiful.   

Interesting to see the breed of my country in 1:12 scale although it removes these two compeltely from my wish list.
I like the simple pose, mainly with front legs well under the body. I like also that back legs are clearly longer than front legs though it could be a little exagerated as well as head looks somewhat long. As a last point, for such a large figure, such a poor texture makes it look a not finished project.
Completing, positive points are more than negative and it is an interesting figure.

Actually, it's the poor texture that makes me think that the Lusitano is in deluxe size. The style is almost the same with 1 : 12 Andalusian and Thoroughbred.

I will not buy it just because of the size, too large for my space. Otherwise I would buy it.

This was exactly what I wanted to hear!       Wanna them both, esp the grey one looks very interesting. It's gonna be a fantastic year of CollectA! Yippee, im so so  glad!         

I started to look into "the back-thing" a little bit, and I came to the conclusion myself that maybe the mare's back could have been a bit longer...But on the other hand do I need everything to be just the official breed standard according??! I like this one just like this!

For examples look at this;
In front of you the proportions change quite a bit for sure. Catalog images are lying all the time!

The back. Just perfect! My opinion.

Oh, I know this is an old post, Jonas, but I went back here and saw your very nice investigation of how nice this model horse seems to be   

I think often indeed that some of Deborahs horses have too shorts backs, but it seems she has improved this year   

(I hope soon this gorgous mare will be released, since I now collect also larger models   She might come into consideration   )

It is nice at least you wanted to answer   Thank you! :)

Yes, I agree. Some of her horses truly has a bit too short back... Jaja and I am super glad she did!

Me too! They are both very beautiful... I really need my very firts large horse!   Will see who's faster ;D

Maybe CollectA is a good start for deluxe models   I have not yet encountered any of the previous deluxe horses, and I wonder their quality and weight. I believe they are massive like the Safari Blue Ribbon horses. They have quite some weight. While the Classic Breyers are hollow inside and very lightweight.

Anyway   Yes, we'll see who gets her first   

I saw on TGF Toys that she is due to release in August   Ugh, so long time!

S-G is waiting the for all new CollectA's this month. We will see if she's there too.
