The STS 2015 Horse Figure Final Poll - Mojo Orlov Trotter

Here are the finalists for the ST5 2015 Horse Figure of the Year, thank to your top choices!
This poll will run for 7 days with one vote per member allowed.
At the end of Saturday, January 30th we will know the results.
The winning figure will participate in the overall 2015 Toy Animal Figure of the Year poll, along with the other category winners.

Thanks for your good work LeeAnn! Considering the tradition of STS with horse collecting, this is one of the polls where the results are more exciting. Some interesting points can be seen already, first, is the CollectA hegemony with 6 figures among the top10. It goes far the time when CollectA horses were not appreciated at all. 3 Mojö figures is also an impressive performance and shows that the brand, despite the little number of releases, has a good reputation in this regard. The negative point is that two of them we only know from catalogue pictures.
1 Breyer is a good start, we don't have a big community here and it turns difficult to the company to get performances according with the quality of their figures.
Though, it is impressive... or maybe not... that there isn't a single Schleich horse in this list, when Schleich horses are the most collected and popular around. Surely the change in design from last years is responsible for it.
It is also nice to see that there are horse figures in this list from all conformations, ponies, draft horses, warmbloods or lighter built breeds. :)

What .... no Friesian.....ouch! o well , then someone else will get my vote

What a close poll! And for one model we haven't even seen yet. Great horses this year, unfortunately I would have loved to have seen the Mojos in hand but they haven't yet been brought to market Great to see a Breyer in the poll finally, even if Valegro won't be our winner this year I think Breyers are often far too large for members here at STS, but perhaps Stablemates can be appreciated more in the future. It is impressive, or at least interesting, there are no Schleich in the final poll. 2014 saw one Schleich and 6/8 models were CollectA. 2013 also had just one Schleich and half of the models were CollectA. The future is definitely bright for CollectA  

59 votes so far Last year we had 108!

Here are the 2014 and 2013 winners, respectively.

We have a winner but not a picture, isn't it funny?
Yes, big congratulations to Anna who sculpted it and Mojö for releasing the figure, both win the category for the 2nd consecutive year. I want also 1% of the prise because the idea of Mojo releasing an Orlov Trotter is mine.

close call.... But a great winner! congrats to Anna! [mine is underway, all the way from down under ]

Congrats, Mr Idea Man Roger.
Congrats Anna!

Thank you so much for choosing Mojo Orlov! I'm very happy to see that this horse model, despite not even arriving yet to stores, is making so good impression
I hope Mojo Orlovs (as well as Tinkers) will be soon delivered to shops and to all collectors who want to have this model in collection
Thank you again for voting for this horse!

Congratulations Anna, for sculpting a beautiful model.
Congratulations Roger, for giving your bright idea to Mojo.
Congratulations Mojo, for producing the model.
I hope the model will appear in shops very soon.  

Thanks for your congratulations, I suggested it indeed but don't take too seriously the congratulating thing. I am also happy seeing that Orlov won, mainly when there's such a beautiful Percheron in this contest. I plan also to acquire the Orlov, I've read it is in real much darker than catalogue picture but it doesn't change anything.

I alway thought Mr Orlov Trotter was a person.

You are right, Mr. Orlove or Count Orlov was the man who developed the breed during the 18th century, he also developed a breed of Chicken with his name.
