Did anyone go as far as undressing him and redressing him to get the clothes to sit more natural?

Anyone can recommend a horse for him? I've been looking at the John Dunbar horse or maybe the mrz thoroughbred as a base model. But not really sure what might fit. Many horses are too small (would fit with the nazgul eh)

It is one of the most beautiful horses imo, but a bit on the small side for my liking

The original Brego was a Dutch Warmblood - see the ebay listing for JXK.
Although I'd carefully study examples of the breed and compare to the 1/6. None too sure these manufacturers pay that much attention - hard to say.
I picked up a 1/6 that supposedly was a draft horse but sure looks more like an Akahal-Teke (Mr. Z) that I already have except they slapped some fake fur on the hooves.
IMO you could go with a Thoroughbred or Akahal-Teke e.g. Brego looked more or less Thoroughbred-like, to me. Horse experts might have a different opinion. Can confirm the Akahal-Teke is a big piece in 1/6 - got mine from Timewalker a few years back. E.g. I prefer not to order internationally off the 'bay, but U.S. distributors may or may not have the horse you want.

Horse-ignorant folk like me have observed that Brego is brown... So get a brown one.

Just to be a pill about it, Brego is a dark bay e.g. dark red brown with a white blaze on the face.
Brown horses are brown e.g. more yellow tan than reddish.
But Aragorn didn't have Brego until TTT. Hasufel was a bay with a bay mane and tail.
Is it only collectors that are obsessive-compulsive?
Wow, I just noticed the leatherwork and studs on the halter, so much detail in these films!!!

Didn't Viggo end up with that horse afterwards?

The doll has better hair compared to the photo. Looking at the 1/3 statue IMO Queen/Inart are really into good hair.
My nerding memory is a bit fuzzy at this point, but I think he bought a couple of the horses from the movies (I believe also Arwen's horse, too?) And didn't he end up giving them to the woman who was Liv Tyler's stunt double who he dated during production?Yes, he bought him after the films.
That said, I could TOTALLY be mis-remembering this!

Yep you are correct. Sadly Brego passed away already.
