    Yeah, I got the horse at your suggestion and went "well...this is ok, I guess". Then I found a proper saddle/bridle and now General Urko looks terriffic.

    They now sell Breyer horses in a $50 set that includes the horse, bridle/saddle, and some other stuff (rider, carrot, etc). The big downside with these is that I have yet to find a set like this that's colored appropriately. White horse with red bridle, chestnut horse with blue bridle, etc. But by grabbing the horse and bridle/saddle individually, I was able to find a great combination of dark brown horse with dark leather bridle/saddle.

    Man, this has to be a low point in my toy collecting career, obsessing on horses.

      We should have an "animals and pets" section on this forum...

        Real leather made horsey stuff are pricey for the Breyers, but they look spectacular. Although not difficult to recreate, they can be fussy if you want screen accuracy. Someday I will repaint the horsey...he'll do for now.



        There are some more photos here, dated January 2008.

          Back in the day I used to love Marx Best of the West horses, but of course they're way too big for Megos

            Marx horses are great for Sideshow apes, although they are a little bit runty for the apes. Just a tad.

              Sadly, I found that out when I bought one from a member here.

                I just won an Action Stallion that works! I did pay 200 bucks for it, but it's so great!

                  Soldier Apes are twenty percent cooler on Ponies.

                  You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...
