Help! Where do these k&m horses come from?

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]I desperately need help to find out the sets for these horses! I got them as a kid and I remember having more but idk where they came from! I have found some horse tubes by wild republic that have a similar style ? But when I try to purchase them they are totally different. I think this group would be able to help me, thank you!!!

I don't know them, have you tried to find them in [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

By the way, welcome on forum.

Welcome here

I wish I knew the origins of these, because I really like them, especially the draft horse. :) Unfortunately, I do not! They are not in that catalogue, and no current Wild Republic/K&M tubes match. I will keep an eye out for them from now on, though, because I bet there is a whole tube set and I would be curious to see the rest. Thank you for sharing! (That is a nice bucket of tiny horses you have behind them, too. )

Thanks for checking Jill. If you don't know we will probably take some time to figure it out.

that grey one is just lovely! and I noticed the wonderful herd behind it too

I've not come across them before but I will keep these ones in mind if I see anything similar.

When you say you found them but the real product was a different style, do you mean these? I noticed the same thing, that this image is used to advertise a very different tube of horses. These do look like they belong to the same set as yours, it's really strange they being used to advertise for a totally different product!

So ever since this subject was made, I've been looking for these guys. Managed to find the palomino, which we have seen, but today I got a new one. :) The buckskin from the promotional image that doesn't match the set it promotes. While there is no way yet to know for sure, I feel pretty confident these horses are from the same set. Still don't know what the set is called and how many there were or anything, but one little step at a time.

This one has the same stamp as the palomino and draft horse.

So what are they, color variations of the Wild Republic Tube of 6 horses?

These don't match any horse tube I know of at least. The one currently available on Amazon with 6 horses uses the image above with the three horses (repeated to 6), but the tube itself does not contain those molds when you look at the actual picture. They are all more generic, standing molds. I think they recycled an advertising image from an earlier release. Those three pictured horses plus the palomino and draft Coconutona originally shared seem (to me) to be part of that missing set that this advertisement was originally made for (or possibly it was really just three horses repeated, and the palomino and draft belong to something different, but they are VERY similar stylistically). They seem like all original sculpts, as I have not see them appear in any other color yet, though that remains to be seen of course! There are trillions of little horses out there.

Maybe these were the tube release immediately prior to the current one?

I really don't know. This set of 6 horses, 3 moulds is quite unusual for the K&M style. Though, we can find that advertising picture easily.
