Those pics look amazingly realistic! BRAVO!!

 

[jankatana]

Wow instantly thought these were production shots not seen before

 

[Travis Baumann]

Good job on those pics.. nice forced perspective makes them look in scale with their surroundings. That Ring Wraith looks pretty bad ass too.

 

[SithThundercracker]

Thanks guys! After my NZ trip I discovered I love to take pics in real environments...XD

A bit of gravedigging for a couple of pics I Instagrammed recently:
Asmus Steed+ACI Ringwraith+river track near home.

Wonderful pics!! That first one looks just like the road where the 4 hobbits hide from the Black Rider in "The Fellowship of the Ring". Amazing.

 

[Travis Baumann]

Yeah, that top one at first glance looks like a BTS production still. The horse's teeth give it away once you look close enough.

I wish I would have bought one of the ACI Ring Wraiths. I know where to get one at retail but that is still a lot of money and I already have one Asmus and the Witch King too. That is too many faceless horrors to justify purchasing one now.

Thanks everyone.

Yes..that's what I thought while I was running. There's a spot on river track that could be even better (with tree branches making an arch) but it's pretty far down the path.

Those pics are crazy good.

I am looking for a horse for Hot Toys Ursus and I came across this one. Is this the best one these days? I like that it's articulated so the joints are ok with me. ...but it seems to be hard to get? Would appreciate some input!

Hey slikkerias, are you wondering about the brown horse, white or Nazgul?

 

[slikkerias]

Hey slikkerias, are you wondering about the brown horse, white or Nazgul?

The brown I think. I would have to paint it darker, but the Nazgul one is just too evil for Ursus.

I have the brown and it's pretty good. It's stored up right now and I never tried any crazy dynamic poses with it but I remember it worked just fine for Aragorn. One thing with mine was that the head was heavy and the neck would kind of droop on its own and put a strain on that joint. Also the hair is shiny and a bit doll-like. I'd love to see what you can do to it with your customizing skills. I still plan on having a go at it someday.

I got mine direct from Asmus and it looks like they still have them in stock:

Thank you! Gonna look that up. I'm mostly into relaxed stances so no problem.
Does it look to you like it can be painted without major issues?

Cheers! Should be a pretty straightforward repaint. The skin is very smooth so I was thinking it would be best to spray a base coat color and then go in on the details. Only other challenge would be getting the tack on and off correctly and without snapping any of the thin pleather.

Why are these so hard to find? was the quality poor?

On a side note are there any 1/6 horse reviews anywhere?
