And, in conclusion:

I have no idea from not a clue studio #your guess is as good as mine!
This one came in an Aeroart box, but there are no markings at all on the bottom which would be sort of rare for them. Anyone have an idea what type of rider that is (Russian noble, celt, etc???)

Zach,
This is a typical Russian figure wearing a Russian version of a short Kaftan with chain armour usually under it.
This set is kind of a fantasy one, the Russians usually never used a horse for bear hunting, they hunted it on foot and used a large spear
