The butt, here you can see how his tail is braided.

Oh, congrats and thank you for your walkaround!
Now I'm more interested in this guy than before. He looks great in my opinion, especialy counting my love to heavy horses. Also it's not important to me has horse braids or no. Why not, if model is nice?
I don't like that his eyes are just black (not new thing, but it's still sad) and Schleich started make less and less shadows on models.
I agree with you about he's gelding. Poor stallions...

Thank you for the kind words.

I agree, it is a nice model, but he has his flaws.

Very nice :)

Thank you!

He surly has some nice traits, - and the braids are correct for showing this breed

But...alas ! That neck...almost half of him is neck. Schleich, for heaven's sake !!!  
Look at the old one, no 13670, he was so beautyful  

Anyway, congratulation Gwaine, and thankyou for sharing

I have to old one too and I kinda have to say I like Achaam better... ehehe.

Thanks again for the compliments.

It is a lucky for us that we have so early in the year, walk around of new releases! These topics are great to discuss about the figures being presented and not only to congratulate the owners. Though, I will congratulate you anyway, mainly because I see you're very happy with your new figure! I don't want to diminish your joy but I also want to relate some considerations.
In a point I am like Susanne, if a brand wants to sculpt a horse to the breed level, it is recomended that the features and proportions of the animal are respected. As a figure, it is a good looking one, as a Clydesdale or as any other horse, it has proportions completely out, mainly neck + head that are too huge compared to the body. When you check pictures of a real Clydesdale, Shire or other similar horse, you can see strong necks, often large heads but their bodies are always extremely massive and by far the the most imposing parts of the animal. Actually it gives them a robuste but noble looking that we cannot see in some figures with wrong proportions. I think also that the previous Clyde is much nicer and it wasn't needed at all to replace that figure. Maybe the braid oriented design determined it. I hope I am not demotivating you and I am convinced I am not. Remember the important is that eh owner loves it and you do.
By the way, I rotated your pictures.

Thank you for that Roger!

I agree with what you say, Achaams proportions all all over the place and even though I like him better, personally, I can agree the acuracy of the one before him is better.

Congratulations, and thank you for photos!
This is probably the only 2016 horse I want...and mostly because of his braiding, I wanna have one with traditional braiding...he reminds me the new Friesian, their pose is very similar and both have nice head, which is beautiful itself but together with long neck doesn't fit to the rest of body.
Anyway, looking forward to meet him personally.

Haha no balls apperently

Thanks for the walk around! I do like him lil better now, but for me his head looks too much similar to our Princesses head. Could've been more Clydesdale like and masculine.

:-D but as he has no balls, he has not enough of testosteron to have more masculine head :-D

Haha guess your right

Thanks for a great walkaround, and even walk-under!
I like him, I admit I don't know enough to criticize him, but it's great to learn from other people's comments. In the end of the day we all still like what we like, and that is totally fine!

Thank you Anne!

the model is nice, however the neck is is.....just.....out of proportion

congratz on the addition!

I just got the old one yesterday! But, on Toy animal Wiki it says Clydesdale Stallion, that´s a mistake, right? He´s a Gelding? Or is there two that are really similar, except for the obvious?
