Nice figures, and I would have use for them in GNW settings, but... Always these horses in maximum speed possible. Can please any manufacturer of 1/72 issue horse sets with lots of horses standing still and advancing slowly.

Indeed, standing or slow moving horses are missing in many new sets!

I like very the new cossak-riders, but the horses are the same of former Redbox sets with very strange legs and movements - see the former reviews of PSR. It´s quite sad that Redbox were copying these weak horses again and again.
It´s the time for the sculptor to study better the movements of horses and to create better ones! These horses are products of the Monty Pythons ministry of silly walks!

I agree - really great figures but horses only great from above the legs. If the leg movements were a little better positioned and coordinated, they would be excellent.

And they are better than the horses in the last sets like:

Mabo, you are right. They have improved already the corpses of their horses, but theirs movements are still far from reality,. It´s a pity because I like theirs figures very much ...
