Don't like very much the tittle.
I undestand that the Comanche were superb riders, but I prefer to see this figure as an attacking one, not a player of the prairies.
Also the indian with the umbrella is not bad.

Armand, in early encounters with the Comanche & other plains tribes, they did not understand that the Comanche were demonstrating war tactics & they thought the Comanche were showing off their horsemanship skills instead. They often reported this method of dropping to the side of the horse in the newspapers & government reports as a show of "acrobatics." So a person unfamiliar with warfare, such as the painter George Caitlin in 1835, would see an "acrobat" instead of a deadly warrior. |

I bought one of their "Acrobats" and also the "Crazy Horse and Gall" set. They're some of the best miniatures on the market. A+ stuff.
