Title: Vintage jointed poseable Horses
Post by: zora on April 05, 2013, 10:49:21 AM
today i got my 3rd vintage jointed plastic horse and dont know why i am buying them! :D the first one i bought very cheap off ebay for about 3 eur because i found it fun to pose it and i even did an animated stop motion movie with it  :P that was the main reason.

but then i saw more of the popping up on ebay and i bought 2 additional ones ^^ i have no idea what these horses are worth, i just buy them if they seem cheap enaugh. i am starting to like them very much and maybe i will even start a collection :D

does anybody have infos on them or maybe collect them? i would love to talk to experienced collectors!  ^.^

this is the last horse i bought, its very discolored (much worse than it looks on the picture):

Its a Marx horse and rider. The Lone Ranger and Silver the horse (possibly Scout if it was a pinto with orangish markings). 1970's. In that condition they aren't exactly worth a lot. I mean, if that's the Lone Ranger, its not his jacket. $10 maybe?

Oooo, that black one is just like a palomino one I have!

PB won't cooperate, so please have a look here, and for the info gleaned from an Etsy seller a little later in this thread: http://mlparena.com/mlp/index.php/topic,304689.msg334537.html#msg334537 ^.^

Hope this helps! ^.^

Brown one might be from the Big Jim line by Mattel. Maybe Dancer? Still looking for the black.

I may have it...

Your black one (and my palomino) might be a Big Beauty horse, sold through Sears!

I'm pretty sure for mine, but I can't confirm 100% that it was available in black too.  But the mould sure looks right! ^.^  Hope it helps!

Interesting!  I had a one as a kid that was almost identical to the one in the first post in everything except colour.  I've never known where it came from (it was passed along from a cousin), so I'd be interested to know more about them as well!

YES! thats the same horse! it also has a "squished" back! :D unfortunatly the etsy link is not useful anymore because the item isnt available anymore :(

big beauty is a cool name as its really big compared to the others! :D

the brown one has some problems with standing as its front legs are very narrow. for my opinion the big beauty horse is the best quality of the three.
