Very impressive figure. I would quibble with the artist's decision to show the horse's mouth open under those circumstances, especially with the teeth exposed to that degree but that is a mistake common to many artists of equine subjects, especially those who do not specialize in such subjects. Overall first rate though.

This figure is 300 mm and nearly $8,000!

Impressive indeed, do you have a link? At that price, the rifle and cap should be removable; come to think of it the rifle should be fully functional.

Aztecs get mentioned now and again as an idea for a new line. I doubt it ever happens, but here is one:

Not to be knit picky but while this figure is wonderfull the body type and physical nature of the figure is way off.

I really like a great many of the Russian figures but often wonder how accurate they are - especially the knights. Some of the heraldry and detailing to underlying fabrics seems so over the top compared to the Angus McBride studies I look at.

Just a thought, I have a few I've held onto over the years and absolutely love them.

I do like these figures but I have to agree, I have the St Petersburg collection book by Areo art and Ive noticed a few discrepancies especially with period armour

Burgundian Knight:

Impressive horse and figure; the riding technique leaves something to be desired but I guess we can forgive that for the heat of battle.
