I have never heard of Parsley the Lion before! I'm in Canada, so I think it must not have aired here. We had a lot of really interesting Canadian kid's TV series, but I can't think of any with lions named after herbs, unfortunately. We did have a Misfit Unicorn named Kleo, though: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kleo_the_Misfit_Unicorn which also had a striped hippo and fish that lived in a tree. Does that count?

Maybe Camellia Dynasty will make a lion BJD named Parsley to be the third quarter of their unofficial herb collection.

This horse is really interesting. I'm not a fan of the mane or tail but meh, those details can be changed. I think the face is really sweet. It looks sturdy in the legs, too, so I'll bet it stands well.

It says it's 27cm high, is that a proper hoof-to-withers measurement or are they measuring from the ear tips?

Thanks so much for sharing this!

You and I both! Must. Resist. Horseh!

I know, the face sculpt is so regal and mature-looking! I was sort of expecting it to be just an enlarged version of Thyme, but it makes Thyme look tiny and cartoonish. Sage looks like a (very serious) noble knight's mount to me. Or even a draft horse, with those sturdy legs.

The mane looks kind of ratty, I agree. Especially on the black horse. Eek, what did they do to the poor horsey?

It says total height is 27 cm, so I think probably up to the ear tips, unfortunately. Uhh, there aren't any scale pictures of Sage yet since they just came out, but there are scale pictures of Thyme and Sage is displayed with Thyme, sooo, via an extremely roundabout route we can sort of imagine Sage's size using the comparisons with Thyme and other dolls to the comparison with Thyme and Sage...? Maybe?
Here's a photo an owner of Thyme took with a few other tiny dolls: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sparkul/12 ... otostream/
I'm thinking Sage is probably in scale with 1/6 dolls, though spatial reasoning has never been a strength of mine.

You're welcome! Just sharing the horse dollieh love! ^_^

So a Realpuki is 97 mm tall and is a little shorter than Thyme's hindquarters (let's say 5mm, so Thyme's hindquarters and probably withers would be about 102mm. It looks like the gap between the top of Thyme's back and Sage's girth is about 25mm, bringing us to 127mm. Sage's body looks to be about as deep as Thyme's front leg, which in turn looks about as long as from a realpuki's eye to the ground, or about 75mm, which gives us a grand total, I think, 202mm at the withers, or a shade over 20cm. Which means a 23cm or so doll would look OK, and more especially my little Obitsu elf family (I could get a Thyme for their sprogling )

I'd like to see one standing next to a Breyer horse.

With those thick legs one could easily mod the mane and tail and create a perfect Friesian.

[ShortNCuddlyAm]

Are Breyer's height at the highest point or the withers? If the former, Sage'd be bigger by a few cm than an average Traditional size one.

[DollyKim]

The horse person in my house says Breyers are measured at the withers. And they're smaller than 1/6 but I don't remember the approximate scale.

I remember the Spider stud (appaloosa) and a taller palomino that's a common mold giving the most Barbie and Darci rides. The withers on my sister's pony are about where her shoulders are.

[Trethowan]

For a horse to fit Ivan it would need to be 70cm at the withers. ha! That would be a LOT of horse. I remember a few years ago we'd started a search but the only ones we found online were either really expensive or stylistic decorative types. But now that I have tiny Ivans of varying sizes my equine options have expanded. hehehe
