See me in shadows

Is that really 11 years since he was introduced
Incredible how time runs !

I agree, - it is a beautyful model

Like you, I am not too fond of the exaggerated Arabian horse, but the artist who made this model, has succeded to get a great ballance between a toy and the expression of a real Arabian

Ohhh, dear, why didn't Schleich stick to this artist

I am really put off by the exaggerated dish face modern arab horses have. This guy luckily doesn't have it.

Me too ! It is really a disconfiguration !
This one is much more like the Desert Arabian, which is looking like a healthy animal

I remember this horse figure as a very popular one and the king of customs! This one is also present in my niece's collection, a gift from a kind lady that is not anymore visiting the forum.
I also like this Arab and I suspect it influenced some other figures from other brands. The unfortunate part is that it hasn't influenced Schleich itself. Besides the great sculpt, this was one of Schleich figures with a perfect finish work in terms of material, balance and painting.
