Schleich Animals
What is the best horse for 1/18 purposes?? like German dispatch riders est.
Re: Schleich Animals
any basic brown horse....avoid the fancier coloured horses, like black, white etc. Schleich horses are ok but Papo ones are generally better and usually a bit bigger, though none are really big enough. Papo also makes some horses wearing reins, saddles etc, although they aren't as nice quality wise as the collectible horse line.
i never met an airplane i didn't like...

Re: Schleich Animals
I found some Prince of Persia horses on clearance a while back at toys r us.......
This is the figure that came with it.......
I haven't done much with them but I do think they have some possibilities, they will need to be painted.

Re: Schleich Animals
I always liked the Power Team Elite horse that comes with one of those little sets that Big Lots gets in the fall and around Christmas time. I've got a couple and used one for a German dispatch rider.
The horse is your basic brown horse, has a simple saddle (fake leather pad with elastic straps) and the animal is well articulated. I don't have a picture of the rider setup I had, but it was easy enough to do with a 21c D-Day style German figure and sticking some extra accessories like breadbags on either side of the saddle. The figure never sat quite right, but looked decent nonetheless.
PTE also has an excellent Camel that could be used in a DAK dio or modern middle east setup.

Re: Schleich Animals
Jon, it comes off with a little effort.
Re: Schleich Animals
The horse from the Indy Jones deluxe figure set a few years ago was one of the best as far as pose and proportion. It's white though so you'd probably want to repaint it.

Re: Schleich Animals
Agreed on the Indiana Jones Horse (plus everything comes off it) and the PTE horse which is really an outstanding deal to boot.

Re: Schleich Animals
This is the Power Team Elite (PTE) horse set:
It usually costs between $4-$6 and is sold at retail at Big Lots discount stores.
PTE items start to be come available usually early fall through the holidays at Big Lots, though there are online vendors that carry the items. I've seen the horse set released annually for the past several years.

Re: Schleich Animals
Wait a little while and that PTE one may be readily available too... Big Lots may be getting their PTE stuff in, within the month or so... one can hope.
