While the figure is acceptable the horse is quite nice; on the other hand I'd be more interested if it were an ANZAC trooper.

They already do one. TW32C03 is Trooper, Australian Light Horse at Beersheba.

Looking at the figure there's little that is specific to "Death or Glory boys" of the 17th Lancers so you could make him any Commonwealth cavalryman with a lance.

He's super pricey, but looks to be worth every penny.

It seems to be a nice figure but in side profile, the rider seems to be a bit too far to the rear of the animal's back creating quite a gap between the rider and the neck.

Perhaps it is just the camera angle but if anyone actually rides horses or has equestrian knowledge, I would appreciate their informed opinion on the seating position?
