Very smart, although in the UK white horses for some strange reason are called greys.

A 'dark horse' is someone who has an unexpected secret, as in "You know that collector Tahra, she's a dark horse; it turns out she has a large collection of curly-haired Klickies with baggy cargo pants even though she is always moaning about them" sort of thing.

No offence intended, Queen Tahra!

Sorry to barge the topic, Hadoque!

I didn't  know the expression :o  (and those are NOT "cargo pants" - they are DIAPERS!  :P )

Sorry to barge the topic, Hadoque!

Ditto.

I believe more detailed pics are needed. WHY oh WHY can't playmobil do these? I mean, should be cheaper, no? No print?

I've always heard 'dark horse' used to mean 'someone or something who comes from behind to win or succeed unexpectedly'*. Perhaps this is a UK/US usage difference!  8-)


*Rumors that a new law has been passed to change it to 'Trump horse' are false and should be ignored.  ;D

A " dark horse" would come from behind to win or succeed unexpectedly, for example, because the "dark horse" has been hiding something "up his sleeve".

Ah, yes, but here the "dark horse" is not a horse horse but a person.

Horses only have legs so they'd have to be legless tops.

"Legless" means something else completely!

Meanwhile, back on topic...

Looking again at your white knight, Hadoque, I see you used a Swan Knight caparison and head cover with the printing cleaned off, which looks great. Those color caparisons from 3624 are quite hard to find but your one looks even better!
