Not Hong Kong! Montaplex

What I've called Euro-Horse 1, suggesting I have a Euro-Horse II or subsequent somewhere, but not on the Laptop, in the lever-arch files, maybe, which are currently buried in a shipping container!

 

 

Although not specifically a Hong Kong horse - the Montaplex tooling was all on the Internet a few years ago (when one holder passed away, and a blogger was allowed to watch and photograph the transfer), and bags of this stuff, enough to fill a box-bodied truck, were also found - there is nevertheless a clear relationship between this horse and both the Hong Kong horse I've called 'Flicktail' and the 'Jogging', although they both have reversed leg positions, from the Montaplex horse.

 

However, it looks as if it was Montaplex who were the leg-switching copier, as the accompanying figures are taken from Hong Kong, being the six, and it's only six, mounted poses associated with Giant, but also used by other people, and you can tell from the little barbell locating studs on the calves, they were taken from Giant or early generation Giant-copy riders, badly.

 

And, I've remembered, Euro II is a horse with a single slot, on one flank, rather than a hole for locating studs on both flanks, and seems to go with a Manurba style wagon I haven't tracked down yet, but it might have been a cake decoration wagon?

But is it Giant
 

Nope! A few poses poorly pirated, that's it!
