Yup. Lots of plastic Dubrovnik sets though (which often seem to be mistakenly advertised as Zagreb).
BTW, the top of the black queen's rook in the second of my pics looks malformed and truncated - perhaps broken off?

From your screenshot, it looks like Dennis Petersen's Legend Products "Kings Indian" set. $36+shipping.

That's it alright - thanks!
I own this chess set, it is a Legend. In addition, I think it is overrated. The images at the website were embellished using Adobe, so do not get sucked in by them.

Thanks for the warning. I was considering getting it, mainly for the look of the knight, but even the somewhat unclear pics at the site selling it - https://www.legendproduct.com/details.asp?action=1&id=35 - seemed to show imperfections.
Do you happen to own the $4 more expensive "Algeria" set listed there? https://www.legendproduct.com/details.asp?action=1&id=44. Oddly, there's only the one picture of it there, but it's billed as "the finest plastic Staunton chess set ever produced!". It does perhaps look pretty good, and similar to, but maybe even nicer than, the Collector, Fischer, Marshall, Zurich, Hastings typesets at the HOS.

This is indeed a Legend Kings Indian Staunton Chess Set. I introduced this set around 1995. At the time there were few plastic sets of any merit available and choices were very limited. I had worked with a manufacturer that had only just entered the market.
I was about a half a step ahead of Frank Cameratta in securing the rights to the molds and exclusive production and distribution of the Kings Indian in the world. I had already a working relationship with the manufacturer and in creating the Legend Alegria Knight the now know Hastings Knight was a bye product of my developing the Alegria. It is why they share some things that may be similar but yet different. It was one of the sample knights provided to me in wood carvings prior to mold making. I thought the now known Hastings Knight looked more like a mule than a horse so I rejected it and went with the Alegria Knight. Later the Hastings knight was offered to Frank and he secured that design.
I do all my own photo shop work in Adobe as does the world embellishing the set is kind of insulting. The person making the comment is really unfounded. I used it at the time to do the background, color correction, and my lens may have distorted the pieces stance at the ends so had to correct the stance to make them straight. I did not mess with anything else in the pieces themselves.
Alexandra Botez and Andria both grew up playing with the Kings Indian in Oregon Scholastic Chess Federation Events and in High School and I find it quite interesting that they both seem to be using the Kings Indian set. That said if its good enough for a National Master of some fame to be using the set it is a good choice for anyone but what I would consider a lunatic over mold marks. The set piece design may not appeal to you but the weighting and stability of the pieces in speed chess or tournament play will appeal to all.
I am in the process of making new plastic sets and am sold out of the Ivory Version there are Natural and Black Kings Indian Available. By early fall there will be red combinations as well. I will warn all it has been years since making plastic sets because you have to make thousands of them at a time so a price increase is in the future for both the Alegria and Kings Indian it could be substantial so he who hesitates is lost.
It was a big hit with everyone. I am a big supporter of Scholastic Chess in Oregon since around 2004 when the Oregon Scholastic Chess Federation was born in 2006 I donated the sets and boards for their first State Championship. Hundreds more went to them and various schools. They are still being used today in all Oregon Scholastic Events in Oregon.
That said it is a rugged design that will hold up to the most brutal speed chess event. The knight in the set is still one of the finest design on the market. However if your going to examine the set under a microscope for mold marks, and like to pick things apart you would do better to buy a Legend Alegria Plastic Staunton Chess Set.

This subject is well documented in the Forum, I rest my case. Everyone has an opinion some better informed than others.

Thanks. Good discussion there. The consensus, circa 2015, seems to be that it's a well made set. Hopefully the quality today is the same.

I recently (May 2021) ordered a second Legend Alegria set and have no complaints at all. I'm definitely looking forward to the red!

What?! It's been one day and no one's mentioned that the pieces on the board were set up incorrectly on the wrong sides? Come on now. You guys are slacking!
@Dennis_Petersen Will the new batch of Ivory/Black Kings Indian sets be made in the same factory, same molds, same matt plastic? Thanks.

Yep board is set up wrong, easily done when you thinking photographing something Guilty as charged. New sets will be from the same molds, factory, and plastic.

@Dennis_Petersen Hah, I was just joshing the Botez sisters screen captures in the first post. They probably weren't even paying attention to the b/w set up coordinates since I'm assuming they haven't used them in years.
You got a great classic set in the Kings Indian. Glad, you're keeping it the same for the next batch
Saw it being played on YouYube (https://youtu.be/sC60MPG5AxI - yeah, it's a game between the Botez sisters - don't judge me). Asked the question there but so far no replies. Looks plastic, and the knight has a Zagreb "prancing horse" vibe, but the king has a western cross, and the bishops and queens' top balls have the same color as the piece. Here are two close-ups from the video. Sorry, the image quality ain't great:
