Horses In Brown and Black

Eagle Games made board games with 1/72nd scale plastic figures as the game pieces.
Eventually they discontinued the practice but in the meantime they released the various figures to buy separately. 
Their horses are very durable, stand up well and are one piece.  I never understood why Airfix needed two piece horses with a separate base.  Those were maddening for a kid to try and get to stay together and not much better for an old guy.
The only drawback to Eagle Games horses was they only had one pose of horse.
The horses have a saddle and European style tack and gear.
They fit Airfix riders very well and I have also cut off the saddles and used them as draft horses.  They came in brown, black, and gray with 48 identical horses of all the same color and pose in the box.  This figure is the "Arab" from one of the Eagle Games figure sets.

They are durable, stand up well and are cheap. They are my go-to replacement horse and conversion horse when I need 1/72nd scale horses.

Thanks for reading MR4.
