Title: Any Grand Champion horse collectors here? Pc needed & info
Post by: partypony566 on January 22, 2012, 06:02:52 AM
I found a lovely mib rearing GC horse in a charity shop the other day, and it makes noises when you pull the reigns.... Think it was made in 1999/2000... Will post a pic as soon as my iPhone is charged as I only have that to take pics now.

ETA: Heres a pic, at last lol. This one is a cream Paso-Fino called "Cotillion" :)

I collect them but im not to good with prices. I actually sold off quite a bit of my collection awhile back on ebay but i cant remember what i got for them. They dont seem to go very high although mib would definately be more sought after.

I loved Grand Champions!  The one that comes to mind is the "sound n' action stallion."  He is in a rearing pose with a brushable mane and molded tail.  If I remember right, he neighs when you pull the reins and sounds like he's cantering if you move his legs.  I hope it's okay to post a link to a website here- this is a great GC ID site.

Oh, I remember that site! I used to go there all the time years ago. I am surprised it is still up.  I see that the one I had was Reveille. :)

I am glad the site was helpful   :)   I looked up the ones I had as a kid too- I never knew their real names.  My rearing stallions are "Desert Storm" and "Dazzling Spirit"   :P

I collect them but I don't think they go for any more than normal retail value in box. There is way more supply than demand with Grand Champions. Horses were the 1990's I guess.

Do you know roughly how much retail price is? I'm not in the loop with these toys really and I've never seen them in toy shops near me :)

I've been a GC collector for a long time, and I was hoping to find some more models on here...it has happened before.  At least I would find some other people who collected them and still love them!

also...I have a website of my own horses....but I can't seem to find the link.. >.>
