Propaganda (Rain, Spirit): I'm sure Rain's going to get plenty of propaganda, but I want to highlight her strong Roman nose as a design choice. Female animated animals so often have huge foreheads and teeny little noses, so giving her a dished Arabian face would've been an obvious move. But they went completely in the opposite direction, and it gives her such a distinctive look.
Tumblr media
Her Breyer sculpt is very fun and floofy (and when I was still following these things, was often hard to find on the resale market, further demonstrating her popularity):
Tumblr media
And finally can we talk about Hans Zimmer's musical theme for her? Beautiful, but even more than that, assertive and joyous.

Propaganda (Starlite, Rainbow Brite): He's a goofily arrogant horse who runs along rainbows and helps protect his little friends, how can you not love him? Allegedly character designer Rich Rudish (whose swoopy style undoubtedly influenced no end of young horse artists) based the character on his son's horse: “I modeled Starlite after my son's horse, an Arabian gelding named By Jingo, and many of By Jingo's qualities are now a part of Starlite's character.”

FAGUR PROPAGANDA
now I will admit that I am biased, and therefore simply lean into it...
Tumblr media
these two have been with me for a very long time, perhaps a decade and a half, and are some of the first schleich I ever had (at this point I've gathered maybe 200)
this old style of schleich I find so lovely, because they are realistic yet fantastical in a way that adds so much character to every figure
Tumblr media
Fagur's rider is called Feya, and she also happens to be one of the cooler fairies imo. she's got a sick as tattoo up her leg, surely that counts for something? each bayala character comes in different models, and personally I adore every Feya!!
Tumblr media
schleich differs from eg. papo in that every model is unique, however some of the bayala horses are based on other "regular" schleich (in Fagur's case, an Andalusian stallion). as a kid I decided that this was part of the lore - that each magical horse had a "shadow" that acted as an attendant and was part of the family
Tumblr media
Fagur is an elder amongst the magical horses, speaks as clearly as any human (much like Bree, another horse to vote for), and is deeply respected by Feya, his shadow, and any who meet him. He's a protector, a spirit of spring, and more than worthy of your vote.
thank you for your time and much love
