I'm still not sold on the scale of that horse. Want to love it and buy it, but at the moment it's

I’m still on the fence with this.
And the seam on the hood has actually become a dealbreaker for me especially if this is expensive

I really hope it’s balanced well and sturdy because I have zero faith in their magnets for something that size.

That's how they're going to keep the price down, the steed is unarticulated.
SIZE is going to make the Nazgul + steed expensive to ship, regardless of the lower retail price.
Reason #2 that I am only considering the free-standing Ringwraith.

Yup, size always matters

Seems like if it was articulated people might be more open to buying multiple sets so they can put the steeds into different positions?

Honestly I don't think articulated steeds are in the cards. No use beating a dead horse.

Until they see it's full of ugly joints.

Maybe at least a swap out leg like the new Dewback.
And there will still be seams.

Are there? I figured they would be covered up, though I have not seen anything with swap out legs...
How would you cover it? There would have to be a seam where the leg connects to the body.
The front legs are fully exposed.

This shows how much thought I put into this. Well, hopefully they can work with the back legs then, and make the steed rise on its back legs so it elevates without any noticeable seams...
I kid...
I have one horse that’s supposed to stand on 3 legs, and it went back in the box as soon as I attempted to stand it up; not happening. The only way these companies seem to be able to pull it off is to make the body do things that aren’t physically possible for the actual animal, or change its anatomy, which also doesn’t look right. Just have all four hooves on the damn ground.

asmus' Nazgul steed is articulated, and it's also flocked. The demon horse being fully black and flocked made the articulation a bit covered, not too obvious.
It's not screen-accurate, but I think that works well, and we get to have many poses for the horses, instead of one pose for all.
I would also get the InArt steed, so I can have 2 kinds of steed (black n brown) with different poses.

Yeah, but somehow I think it makes it look more like a skeletal undead horse, hahaha..
The pin is hidden, and the flock helped the overall appearance.
You know I'm usually very critical when it comes to asmus, but their Nazgul steed looks quite good, IMHO.
