Breyer Trakehner: Tail Review

I know Breyer have put out a Hickstead on the Trakehner mold, what I didn't realise was the mold has a new tail
for the release. I only found this out last night while reading the Breyer History Diva blog post Letting Sleeping Models Lie. So of course I had to find out what this new tail was that seemed so unliked.

The original:
From identifyyourbreyer.com

And this is the only pic I could find of his new tail:

Found in google images on page 1

To me it really looks
like they have taken the tail off of Idocus and reattached it to the
Trakehner...ok, with some small modifications!
I really don't know what to think about either of the molds now...I
have never really like either of them in the first place, but that tail
to me just looks out of place on the Trakehner...but of course there
will be people out there that love the change. Hickstead is not on my
2012 wish list, actually, none of them are really, though I am still
thinking about Padre and possibly the roan Bouncer, though I prefer the
original Bouncer even though that mold is really not very
'correct'....Breyer, what has happened to you?!!
