| To me it is somewhat surprising that a figure of Deluxe size and presented with an official photo is the clear leader of this poll. Not that I think it's wrong, just unexpected. What I did expect was more enthusiasm about the horses because although this is not a forum specifically dedicated to these animals, they have always had a special place in our community. |

| Last day to vote, the horse poll has 54 votes while the wildlife poll has 70, so I believe there's no reason not to participate even if it's not the theme of our collection. |

| If the dog category was expectable, this one is a complete surprise to me. I don't mean the horse is not good. The fact it is a Deluxe figure, a reused mold, and a very common breed could demove the voters from picking it up. I was expecting one of the WIA models to win or the Breyer Fjord instead. Horse collectors are much devoted to colors and this result is illustrative. Here is the ranking:
1. Mustang Stallion (Deluxe), CollectA 19% [ 11 ] 2. Marwari Stallion, WIA 16% [ 9 ] 3. Frisian Horse, WIA 14% [ 8 ] 4. Norwegian Fjord, Breyer 11% [ 7 ] 5. Clydesdale Stallion, CollectA 11% [ 6 ] 5. Morgan Stallion, CollectA 11% [ 6 ] 7. Arabian Stallion Rearing, CollectA 9% [ 5 ] 8. Mustang Mare, CollectA 5% [ 3 ] 9. Arabian Foal, CollectA 4% [ 2 ] 10. Holsteiner Stallion, CollectA 0% [ 0 ] |

| It amuses me that I own every single horse model in this post, except one - and that's the one which won! _________________ |

| Yeah, I've always stuck to the standard size CollectAs - the 'deluxe' ones don't have improved paintwork, they're just bigger. The promo photos like the one above, make them look better than they are in real collectors' pictures - in those you can see that the main body colour for each horse is bare plastic, with only fairly basic shading, and white markings added on. Less painting effort, in fact, than the recent standard releases with the coloured eyes! I kind of feel they're not really value for money - for three times the price, I'd want them fully painted and given added detail, not just more plastic used in making them _________________ |
