You can order from SPACE, they always have lots of MrZ horses, but often sell out quickly if you don't preorder. They still got arabian horses of all colors

SPACE have really good prices for their Mr. Z horses if you are in Europe. I have ordered multiple from them at this point, and I highly recommend their shop. Very good service. But yes, they sell out quick. These horses are popular amongst model horse collectors, not just 1/6 collectors.

Some more
















Love the head. It is really well done. Also the scales are beautiful. For the last two pics i gave him the straight weapon instead of that scimitar.

NOOOOO! Not on Charlemagne's throne! Grandpa Martel is rolling in his grave! What was the Battle of Tours all for!?
And how did he pull that straight sword out of the curved scabbard?
Just messing with you. I agree, absolutely gorgeous: both the figure and your photography.
Thanks for sharing it.

Hahaha maybe he tricked the crusaders with his sword and they thought "He must be a wizaaaard" and then they lost bc of the Angst!

And did he capture all of Europe and charlemagnes throne?? Good eye Gub

Thanks for making me smile

You are welcome, but thank you! I was about to suggest that with such tricks up his sleeve... and scabbard, he can and must be employed as a wizard in your sixth-scale universe.

That's well done. He is very photogenic. Your camera loves him.

These photos with their perfect lighting show off a beautiful figure well. He looks incredible!

Beautiful figure, and excellent photos! I love the way the light hits him. : )

Very nice photos, Valiarde! The last photos are perfect examples of an excellent use of key light (upper right) and fill light (left)!

The hairline on the head looks very natural. How did poptoys accomplish this? Is the hair glued to the surface upfront or is this actually a separate hair piece?

Thanks everyone!    One of my favourite figures for sure

It is glued to the surface/hairline. They did a nice job on the hair. Here is a smartphone pic:

For a 'mass produced' head that is indeed a very good hairline.

Yes, I agree, pretty stellar for a mass-produced item. You got me to try to get one on eBay (given how it goes these days, we'll see if I succeeded or not). Thanks for the extra photo!

Oh yeah,

I don't even want to look prices up for heads of expensive figures these days.    I hope you can snag one for a good price.

The hair feel a nit similar to the Mel Gibson Braveheart head hair...if you know that one. Thick, but I like the waves.







I know this is not exactly the same, but if we talk about great and rather inexpensive heads, I will always recommend this one:



I guess if you root his hair, he can turn into an arabian head with ease 

Looks like a younger Jurgen Prochnow.

Yeah that is him - good eyes. I really like that sculp and the quality of the skin/eyes    One of the best twenty buck heads I bought.

Ah, cool. Is that from a Das Boot inspired figure?

I have that one, it is the bearded variant of the captain figure. Got both heads, which are excellent, just haven't done much with them yet. Also got the leather pants, as featured in the clothing thread.

Definitely one of the most beautiful figures of the year, hairline is perfect, and those scales perfectly photographed with the shadows they cast on each other. Who knows, if he took over Europe back then, maybe we all would have great hair like him.

Impressive portrait.

Thanks Valiarde for the pictures, I've decided to buy him after I saw them

Here's mine:

What an amazing figure. One of the best I've seen.

Awesome Wernest, glad I made a good promotion for him and prompted you to make your first post here.  
Still loving this figure, one of the best in my collection.
Thanks for showing yours

Yeah, it’s an incredibly well done figure.

It's great seeing people on the forum help each other out with information, inspiration, and enabling others to make their choices and pick up the figures they like.

He looks great with Coomodel Baldwin (just wish his chainmail was better).
