Wow, that is a great looking horse from Dragon! I'd love to get that one for Indy, or my Sideshow Legolas! Thanks for the links!

 

[Protozaius]

I had that horse... I bought it specifically for one of my POTA gorillas. However the horse is a bit too big (look at the pics, the stirrups don't go past the horse's belly) and with the gorilla being on the smaller Sideshow body, the horse looked ridiculously big. I later sold him on eBay.

The Marx horses are better proportioned but are lousy on detail and articulation.

By the way, who can afford the Toys McCoy Indy horse anyway? : : :

 

[Vader AL]

some horses are bigger than others though.....

he is a larger 1/6 horse...here's a smaller yet pricer one although it has hair, also has a nicer saddle..click on the horse to see the close up of the saddle; not sure if you can move their legs though like the one pictured above:

Thanks for posting those links, Vader Al.... but those horses are not really my cup of tea. They look too much like stuffed animals. And the eyes look strangely huge for the scale.

 

[galactiboy]

Looks like Proto just can't be satisfied

 

[jungle jom]

Proto is right... Those horses do look like stuffed animals. The proportions are all out of... Well proportion. They are very wide and it would be difficult to put a rider on them convincingly. The Dragon horse with articulation is indeed too big for anything but a clydesdale.

Sideshow would be wise to create an articulated horse to scale!

 

[Amanaman]

Will they make armored horse bodies too?

 

[Vader AL]

damn you guys are tough to please.

unless you're a horseaphile, the Dragon horse looks great and fits the figs just fine. The eyes aren't really too big either....raise your hand if you've ridden or seen a horse in person.....

 

[jungle jom]

I believe YOU, must open YOUR, eyes. Look at the evidence from the photos posted.

 

[Vader AL]

close enough for me. to each their own.

Thanks for posting Vader AL... Now take a good look at what you posted, and look at the scale.

Or maybe get a pair of glasses.

 

[galactiboy]

Yeah, the horse is a tad big... not terrible. Especially since there are some giant horses. But it does look out of scale.

not saying it's perfect at all, just saying it isn't distracting and 12" figs look nice on it. don't want people to think because some people are annoyed by the slight off in-scale it is it should keep them from buying it. some people don't think everything 1/6 scale figure should be 12" either since people are different heights/builds. again not saying it's in perfect scale.

Oh and by the way Vader AL...

Your Stupid Robot picture has an very naughty word in it. Please remove it or I will report it.

There is no reason to be a low class fool.

chill out, i don't know why you are getting so worked up about this. I'm not. you must have missed the smiley face.

I'm calm V AL. The profanity is just not appropriate for this forum. You never know who is here and I don't want children seeing such things.

Now that the offensive word has been removed... All is set right!

yeah I erased it. thanks for letting me know what is and isn't appropriate for this forum and I'm glad to see you have such concern for "the children".
