........I also find the "Australian" horse a great idea although the figure itself is not very pleasant looking to me. It together with the Campolina, puts CollectA in this matter very steps forward when compared with some other companies that are "strong" with horses.

I agree to every word

But, ohh Schleich !!! Those pasterns and hooves of the Iceys !
How can you do it ?

Just read the entry and looked up the Dartmoor Hill and see they include coloured and spotted ponies so good on Collect A for making this lovely model!!

I really like most of the horses..
Some of them i like for the breed, some of them i like for the color...
I hate that the musting is 1:12 that same he is to big for me but what a beauty
those collecta are so mutch better them schleich ...
Don;t know why i just dont switch to collecta ... Maybe because they are more expensive ...
hmm hmm dreams .. and hopes ...

Are CollectA really more expensive than Schleich? I think they have very similar prices actually Yes, but when you have to pay for the shipping while schleich are easy to find locally, is that what you meant?

Even if CollectA's horses are more expensive than Schleich's, I'd rather spend my money for CollectA's horses.

For me CollectA is quite a bit more expensive, but that's because I can't find them locally and have to buy online at markup. Susanne and I often split TGF orders to get the free shipping and that helps, but TGF doesn't have all of the horses I want unfortunately.

Couldn't have said it better myself!

Bullyland added.

Gosh tese bully horses are fantastic! There's a fjord for you LeeAnn! Too bad the tack is sculpted on.
Great job Bullyland!

Yes! New fjord is great! I don't mind the tack so much as I like the blue color on him. Obviously I'd prefer him without but there's nothing I can do about that other than customize him I just hope I can get a hold of him easily.

Thanks LeeAnn!
I used to buy from TGF too.
TGF usually had all of the horses, but suddenly they just disappeared. Perhaps you can try H and H.

I apologize if this comes off harsh but refuse to buy from H&H. I don't care if I have to spend a lot more money to buy a figure from somewhere else, I will not buy anything from them.

I actually never bought from them. I just think that since you live in USA then it would be easier to do that. Seems that you had a bad experience with them?
If you don't mind shipping cost, maybe you can try minizoo from Australia. I found that it is a great seller.

Mistakes always happen, that's the reason why I called striped hyena to the Schleich spotted hyena. Crocodiles use to see strips everywhere.  By the way, nice zebra opening this topic.
Well, I know some people that see chocolate everywhere too!

Oh I understand, and I made the same mistake, assuming they would be fine since I do live in the US. I had a very bad experience with the company to the point where I am disgusted. At least it didn't involve money exchanging hands. Or I'd be even more upset! I just buy most of my CollectAs from eBay from various sellers. Of course H&H is always the cheapest one to pop up but I just jump down to the next seller and buy from them. If there is no other seller, well, I go without. I do have a dealer that's a little over an hour away, but they don't have the full line and rarely restock. Plus being that far away I rarely get down there. Thanks for reccomending minizoo, I'll check them out!

Sorry to hear about your bad experience, LeeAnn.
And you're welcome. In fact, minizoo, is a member of this forum, too (in case you didn't know). The owner is Jason Smit.

Ah no worries, it's not your fault.

Two new CollectAs added.

Very beautiful horses form CollectA!
The Knabstrupper has a similar pose as the Andalusian from 2011. I like the pattern.
The Hanoverian is so beautiful. Is it a deluxe 1:12? I hope it's a standard size.

I'll bought ALL the CollectA horses, no doubt about that.

I don't like the horses with the saddle and the briddle too, bad for Bullyland

CollectA's new Hanoverian Mare is gorgeous

New Schleichs and Mojo Fun Orlov Trotter added.

Thanks LeeAnn, I think that although there's no Safari, this is turning a great horses year.

Anna!! Million thanks for this gorgeous Orlov trotter! Such an amazing sculpture! I've been a bit nasty and have said some bad things about your horses but this one is just so fantastic! I love the color and pose. Very easy to see he's trotter. I know this great breed and just some days ago I started to learn more  about these fantastic horses. Million million thanks!

The new schleich ones have some nice color but nothing interesting. The same old boring breeds again...
Those two Pintos are better in their new coat though... Many thanks LeeAnn!

Thank you Jonas! I'm very happy to hear you like it!! I'm looking forward to see repaint of this horse by you!

I don't remember any nasty words from you about the other horses, and even if you said some critique I always appreciate to hear honest opinion. Critique is also a think that teach us most.
