Here are two more examples of the appearance of North American Mountain Men during the first half of the 19th C. Source book at bottom. A great resource on Clothing in the Wild West.

Reckon when we will ever hear anything else about this range? I'm still excited about it. I just thought we may have heard a little more by now. Maybe not

I know that John has been working on a LOT of items in many of his current series.
Some have been shown, other hinted at while others will be a surprise. {eek3}

However, John ..(like others ).. works in mysterious ways, but hopefully more information soon.

Anyone got any scoop on this range.

Too true Mark, mine is on order, the paint job is superb, as is the sculpt. It is going to be difficult for the rest of the series to live up to this one, time will tell. Robin.

I haven't ordered yet as I have some auto repairs that are a priority but I will!^&grin

That figure looks great. I'm not sure if I'll end up collecting this series or admiring from the side. I was hoping that John might include some Mounties in this series, but it seems like he has chosen to focus on an earlier period of the history of the "West."

I don't know if I'll get every figure.I'll pick and choose what I like.

[Combat]

That's a beautiful figure. I'm a little torn though on the linkage to fictional movie characters. I can see the appeal but it causes me some irrational pause.

Somebody on another forum says the Crows' horse looks like the ears are on backwards and that the headstall lacks a strap over the poll of the of the horse ( that area between ears and the apex of the neck).He does say it could be the angles of the photos but he was just pointing it out. I don't have a clue.Any horse experts out there.

Mark . . . I just looked at the resin copy that I have of this figure, and that "somebody" is correct . . . the ears are on backwards . . . I never even noticed this before. I have no idea what a headstall is so I can't comment on that.

[mikemiller1955]

if it's wrong...I wonder if he will do a recall on them...I have not received mine yet...but it's on order...

 

[marco55]

I ordered mine yesterday morning before I knew this.
Mark

 

[marco55]

Did somebody let John know?
Mark

 

[mikemiller1955]

I sent him an email...

if the rider is removable...
as is Mike's resin prototype that he won at Chicago......
it's an easier fix...

and not a total loss on the production as a whole singular piece...
just make a new horse...

if/when he responds...
I will post it...

 

[mikemiller1955]

I just got an email from a reputable source...

"that someone pointed out the ears on the forum when the pictures were posted last year from the Chicago show...
and it was mentioned that would be addressed"...

so I'm guessing John is aware of this and has already corrected it...

perhaps that was an old stock photo...

John is extremely good about correcting any errors...

Can't imagine John letting the error go uncorrected, especially knowing about it. The painted example is most likely the prototype, done before correction. -- Al

Al...agreed...John is most consciousness about errors...I'm sure if he was made aware of any error...it would have been corrected...hopefully it was an old stock photo that got released in the official new release thread...

How can a horse's ears be ''backwards''? The animal has the ability to rotate its ears to hear what's to its front, side or rear without having to move its head.
The only way the ears could be wrong is if John placed them on its rump. - Everyone relax, No need for a massive recall.
