Walkaround of the CollectA Australian Stock Horse Stallion

I was not at all impressed by this model from the promo pic. I thought he was awkward, chunky, and oddly-colored.

Until I got him in hand.

Wow, this model is stunning! The flow of the mane and tail go perfectly with the motion of the horse, the color is very pretty, even though I'm usually not a fan of metallic paintjobs, and he has a great pose.

The pose is a little stiff - I'd like to see a little more action in the front end and the head a little lower, but I like that he's not just standing around. Aussie stock horses are more thoroughbredy than quarter horsey, and this guy really does it for me. The biggest issue I see on him is his legs are spread far apart, I assume for stability. Other than that he's really really nice. I would love to see customs on this sculpt. How about a dunalino with lots of chrome? Sunburnt black? Leopard appaloosa? So many possibilities - he would look great in all of them.

Exactly the same thought of mine, LeeAnn. I thought it was dull when I saw the picture in the catalog. When I see it in real, I realize it is so handsome.
Congrats!

Nice pics :)

How large is he in comparison to schleich?

Thankyou for a great walkaround

About the same, maybe a tad taller but not much. He's pretty bulky in comparison but then again he is a stock horse and should be.

Congratulations! Nice horse :-)

Thank you for the walkaround, he looks indeed better there than in the the promo pic.

That's a very interesting release. Horse collections are not boring for sure, mainly when new type of horses are often replicated. I like the figure and the walk around is excellent!

so pretty i love the colour. i also like his face. he looks like a sweet nice guy.
