That Mythic Legions horse looks so much better... maybe they are worth the premium price tag.
Shown below via Josh Izzo are some nice detailed in-hand images for the new Batman: The Dark Knight Returns DC Multiverse Collect to Build Batman's Horse Wave coming from McFarlane Toys. Based on the classic Frank Miller story, this wave includes figures of Batman, Robin, Joker and Superman. When you get all four figures you will have the pieces to build a 6" scale articulated horse for Batman (or anyone else) to ride as seen in the comics. These new images give us our best look to date at the horse. This wave is available from our sponsor EntertainmentEarth.

We should probably go back and censor the book and remove the gun from Joker's hands there too while we're at it, you know, for the kids. What does not including guns make applause worthy? That's going to stop violence in your estimation? We should work infinitely small to big in that area by not including tiny guns with toys that are clearly aimed at adults? Don't you think they should get rid of the crowbar too in the 3 Joker figures? I don't think it's in there because Joker used it to open a crate. Or, we could leave it up to the PARENTS of said kids that aren't going to be buying these toys and folks like yourself can throw the guns out when you buy them. Or you can choose to buy or not buy them altogether and being allowed that choice instead of a silly mandate that appeases the under 5%. I didn't hear of any sort of "outrage" these toys had guns from concerned parents and if there were I'm sure they have zero intention of buying this tiny guns or no tiny guns. I have heard many complaints the other way that they don't though.
I hear you man.

When you go into Target or Walmart where do you go to buy these figures? You go to the TOY DEPARTMENT. The same department that has fisher price toys for kids and DC Multiverse. Corporate business execs at WB, Target or Walmart are likely not gonna differentiate an action figure that you and I know are made more for adult collectors over one made for little 4 yr old billy. And companies like McFarlane are 100% gonna want to see these carried in that toy department where they no more eyes will be on them by casual passer byers (Adult Collectors, parents and kids alike) than they would if say they were off over in some corner designated for "Adult Collectors". McFarlane just like Hasbro with Marvel Legends may know adult collectors are buying these but they also very much hope little Billy and his mom see BATMAN and buy them to. And again Batman is Batman. Little Billy and his mom isn't going to know Frank Miller from a hole in the head.
Wisely put.

Not going to "Build a Horse".....
However, "build a fig" line is "Brilliant". McF is always thinking of "chase down guys" =^)...
Going to be seeing; The "Ebay" Bat Horse market open soon. Save those "Bat" pennies, boys and girls!!!
Glad to see my girl Carrie (again) and can't wait to get my (pre-order) DNR Mafex No.139!!!....
I will wait for you, my Carrie!!! Hey, make sure you get your "Bat Oats & Bat Straw" for your Horse ;^)
I get it, McFarlane comes out with some over the top or unusual things/ideas every now and then like this build a horse, but he dares to be different. Who else would give you that? nobody else to date lol.

You can find them for 20-25$ on eBay and Mercari fairly regularly. Just be patient. Since Geralt calls every horse hes ever had roach I think you can go with black, brown or white.
Nice collection man! That Wrarl on the ring wraith horse looks awesome! Yeah, those horses scale pretty well. Thanks for the tip!

I need to correct myself.. I actually want 1/10 scale since I wanted to use them with Neca Phantom and for Mcfarlane Geralt.

Anyway, thanks for the suggestions. Not too fond of that MOTUC Arrow but I might check out those LOTR horses. Upon checking Ebay, the prices aren't too bad for them.

I couldn't remember the horse's name, so I just did a quick Google check, "name of The Phantom's horse" and it came back with a quote from an article saying "in the original novel, The Phantom rode a horse named Caesar." So that's what I posted.
Turns out Google was a little confused. It thought I was asking about "The Phantom of the Opera." *LMAO*
So . . . we're BOTH RIGHT!! Just . . . COMPLETELY different Phantoms! (Oops. My bad! *LOL*)

Nice.....
Seriously....
Really, really nice ;^)

Only need some half-decent paint skills to change the rainbow mane and tail, he'd likely be a good fit.
As for Geralt . . . I mean, the LOTR horses are more 6" scale (I use a modified black Nasgul horse for my Mattel DKR Batman), so I don't know if they'd work great, but Aragorn's horse is brown, so it MIGHT work with Geralt.
However, if you're looking for something slightly bigger, and you're not picky about articulation, collectible doll-scale horses are a BIG industry (particularly Bryer Horses), and you could probably find DOZENS of static-pose horses online in the size you want, if you just need a display piece.
