Horses

13975 Friesian Stallion Joppe
First Impression: The Friesian Gait, heck yes!!! I like the posture a lot, but am on the fence about the fur texture and the way the mane and tail work. The fetahering looks nice, though.
Second Opinion: I like the pose, but the mane and tail are too messy. The two previous itterations portrayed the wavey mane and tail much better.
Verdict: Not all bad, but won't ever be my fav.

13977 Friesian Foal Ravenzwart
First Impression: It is not uncommon that friesian foals are this brown in shading, so I quite like the colouration. It's posture makes it looking curious and friendly and ready to nose at your pockets for a snack. I love that!
Second Opinion: She is adorable, I love her so much and I can't wait to take pics of her with her mom and dad.
Verdict: Finally the family is complete!

13978 Mangalarga Marchador Reno
First Impression: Lovely posture, great colouring, the tail is very great. I am just a little on the fence about the mane. Love this one!
Second Opinion: He is very handsome. The pose is dynamic, the colours work and he just wows me.
Verdict: Yes, an amazing figure, one of my favs of this year.

13979 Fjord Horse Gelding Thorsten
First Impression: He is surprisingly lithe for a Fjord Gelding. The paintjob is nice but a bit undetailed, where as the manes and tail work very well. The post amuses me, as though he has seen something that kind of startled him, but he is also interested to find out what it was.
Second Opinion: He is wonderful. The Rodblak colour is such a nice change up and the pose is really cute. His face is quite adorable as well.
Verdict; Paintjob is very meh, but coat colour is a nice change up and I very much like him.

13980 Fjord Horse Mare Sif
First Impression: She has got a bit more of that Fjord chonkiness and I really like the way her manes are done. Though she has the same bland paintjob, nicely done but not at all well detailed. I do like her sideburns, very very nice.
Second Opinion: She is very pretty, I like her shave up and her coat looks very nice. The pose is very nice too.
Verdict: I like, she can use a bit more shadowing on the coat, but all in all, very pretty.

First Impression: Wow, this is one for the books, he looks amazing. The colour, the marking, the pose. Yes, yes yes!!!
Second Opinion: He is so pretty, the colour turned out so well and the facial mark is stunning. I am so in love with him.
Verdict: MORE OF THIS SCHLEICH, PLZ.

13984 Arabian Thoroughbred Foal Draakje

42660 Sheep Friend Trio
First Impression: They look so funny, haha. Their faces are silly, but the colours and poses are lovely. I really like them.
Second Opinion: These three are so hecking adorable. The texture works and they got actual sheep eyes rather than big demon bug eyes. This is a lovely trio.
Verdict: Well done Schleich, well done.

14873 Ibex
First Impression: Reminds me of bullyland. Looks very shaggy and the neck is very thick.

First Impression: I really need a better angle of this face, bc this angle is not the best. Love the armour sturcture, but beasty coulda been more hairy.

First Impression: Is it supposed to make this bend? Not bad otherwise ^^.
