I'm glad the horses aren't plush or have yarn hair (that's what kept me from collecting Rainbow Brite as a kid) but the pose just looks wrong. I agree with HeavyHooves--that front leg is SO wrong. . . .I think the tails would look tons better if they were longer. I'll have to see them in person before I decide if I'll pick one up or not.
I WISH they would have used the old Barbie horse mold like they did at some point in the past (dunno when, I think a later release of Starlite and Sunriser, maybe even foreign since I have read they're rare. I don't know Rainbow Brite toy info very well though). I ADORE that mold!
I also watched the animation on the website. . . . I'm hoping the choppyish animation is 'cause of the media and maybe that they're not going really high quality since it's a backstory webpage animation type thing. Starlite sounds so wrong. His voice is WAY too deep now with none of the arrogance intrinsic (sp?) to his character.
I do love the colors and curls in the two mares though. Sunriser in particular has lovely colors in her mane and tail.
