Looks like a recast of DID's Konig figure. And the hat is very wrong.

 

[greatlakes6]

That looks really good. I wonder how much, especially the horse!

 

[greatlakes6]

Good catch on the hat, just noticed that too.

 

[Asta]

I don't like the figure, but the horse is a possibility since it's one that finally has western tack.

Or does it?

Here I was not having any idea anyone had done Enemy at the Gates. I freaking love that movie.

They did König, Vassili and Koulikov.

The horse in this set looks like the Mr. Z Hanoverian:

 

[Stryker2011]

That's actually pretty horrible western tack. Seriously, do none of these idiots in China know how to look at a few pictures to make accurate Western tack, or are they just that lazy. Plus, it looks like they didn't even bother to finish the saddle -- they forget to add the "leather" covering the under-structure of the saddle shape. And the same German Hanoverian horse that's been over-used for just about everything.

 

[greatlakes6]

I was thinking the same thing, the tack looks horrible.

 

[Asta]

Everything looks unappealing apart from the one thing they didn't make themselves: the horse itself.

If anyone's interested in the Man in Black, Longshanjinsh posted several replies to people on BBICN about amending the hat.

Thank you for your suggestion, we will make adjustments to the cap shape, try to restore the original

Thank you for your suggestion, Dahuo will make adjustments to the cap shape

Thank you for your support, Dahuo will adjust the cap shape, try to restore it

 

[Asta]

The revolver is wrong too, as The Man in Black carried a .38 cartridge conversion LeMat 1861.

 

[Stryker2011]

I’ll get the Man In Black, but the horse, etc., is an easy pass. Strange how those vocal nit-pickers who complained to them were quick to pick up on the shape of the hat, but not how horrible the tack is.

 

[Johnny Utah]

Honestly I don't know what a tack is

The details don't seem to register with them. They're more concerned about the short lifespan of the (p)leather.

I think the most accurate 'off the shelf' western tack is the Star Ace James Dean horse, but the saddle is moulded plastic and the horse small.

I've still yet to be tempted to buy another horse. One day someone will come up with the perfect package of horse and quality western tack, and I won't be able to resist. Until then, they'll just have to walk!

 

[Antarion]

Just rerelease that thought after Ili Horse everyone wants! Easy money. Everyone should complain to MrZ until they do it!
And then they should make a good saddle for it too

 

[Stryker2011]

Yeah, that Ili horse was awesome. I regret every day passing n POing that one, and when it came out it was gone immediately, yet that overly short Hanoverian seems to be around by the thousands. Pretty dumb decision by Mr. Z not to go back to that one.

 

[Mondragon]

The hat instantly threw me as wrong (needs to be more slouch), my first thought was still - wow this looks great!
Then I read it all picked apart, and I can't unsee all the discrepancies
Although to be fair I never examined the character that close, even less his (or any) tack, if you are familiar with them, and are into that, I can see why it would certainly stand out, and the differences are quite interesting.

Good to know.

It's bizarre to have these all coming from different producers, I guess none of them are licenced?
Any chance (or word) of an Akane (or comparable) figure to go with the Musashi figure?

[Johnny Utah]

I would only ever want MiB and Ford. They're the only Diamond Select figures I got.

 

[Freakazoid!]

Nice! I hope a 1/6 Dolores in her blue dress will follow.
