My least favorite of the finalists is the Mojo Arabian mare in foal. She does appear to be in foal but she's too heavy-looking to be an Arabian. Now, if they said it was a Morgan or Morab mare - that I could see. This IS a pregnant Arabian mare: http://www.equineresindirectory.com/showresin.asp?resinid=1985 The legs of the Arab mare had to be sculpted that way, mostly because of the technology and material it was produced from. Some companies use another kind of plastic or even a bitbigger scale which let them make legs proportionally thinner. In this case it was a minimal required thickness. I also would prefer to see more thin legged final version of this Arab mare, that's why I sculpted another version of this horse model, cast in resin. And resin version has about 30% thinner legs. It was possible thanks to different technology. (Resin version has also no fur texture which is not typical for Arabians but was required by the company, although in the winter Arabians also can have thick fur, if they are kept whole year outside in the colder climate, so, some may claim the Mojo Arabian is a one in winter fur ) The model of Arabian mare from your link is also made in resin, and is a bigger scale, that two facts allowed for making the thin, typical Arabian legs. I think comparing it to PCV toy is a bit hard, these are two different "classes". _________________ Anna Horse and Bird studio - Horse sculptures My model horse collection

| I voted for the Kitan Club seal, which is a model form another category on its own, not even to compare with the Papo snowleopard, which is nice, but for me from another category, much less then the Kitan Club model, which is the case for most Japanese models when it come to quality i guess... _________________ http://www.collectorsquest.com/collector/1313/willybacoman

| Did the Papo Hippopotamus Cow win? That was my favorite of the year. I hope it did.
Seriously though, the Papo Snow Leopard is fantastic. And CollectA released so many spectacularly good models, it was kind of overwhelming. |
