Who does the best horses (1 Viewer)

[Louis Badolato]

I tend to agree with Bob on this one. Perhaps we need to pinch ourselves to remind ourselves of the tremendous choices we have, even in the equine area, something we didn't have until recently, where every manufacturer has stepped up its game. It's a treat for me to have to choose between a horse made by K & C and other manufacturers.

Although this is a free forum, sometimes when it comes to humor, discretion is the better part of valor.

Well said, Brad.

When I started in this hobby there were no affordable matt figures (you had to buy the Russian figures, one of which cost more than a set of 5 toy soldiers).

Then K&C launched Arnhem in September, 1995, and everyone in the industry looked down their noses at it because it was matt, and everyone knows that Toy Soldiers are supposed to be Glossy.

By 2000, many collectors loved matt figures, and Frontline and Britains had joined K&C in producing matt figures.

Now, in 2010 we can add Figarti, First Legion, Thomas Gunn Miniatures, John Jenkins Designs, Collectors Showcase, Honour Bound and others.

If you collect matt figures, and are not thrilled with this choice, you are out of your mind. I started out collecting only K&C matt figures. Over the last 5 years I have added Figarti, John Jenkins, Honour Bound and a few First Legion to my collection. I don't buy everything from any company, I buy what I like from every company that interests me.

If you want to be a "true believer" of one manufacturer or the other, go right ahead. I will as Andy Neilson so aptly puts it, "buy what I like."

Bill,there are certainly some fans of several companies this could apply to!

Even if you devote your LIFE for one company only, you can accept that there are others beautiful things around...

Well a lot depends on how you want the look of your collection to be and how important scale and realism is to you the collector.Fact is out of the companies Louis listed I believe only K&C,TGM and Figarti's figures REALLY go well together.The differences in the other producers are prohibitive in my view.I do demand a certain uniformity and realism in my collection.

As for Horses I believe sculpting and poses of K&C's Charge of the Light Brigade are second to none,I've seen FL's Horses and they really are very nice.

It all depends on the collector,no two are the same.

I think K&C does some nice ones, also FL is very nice. They all are very good.
