I think as far as looks go, I like both the Red and Black
Knights. The other knights look too childish with their
odd colors. I know if I was dressed in those colors
(Purple, Barbie Blue, or even Green), then I wouldn't have
been taken seriously by anyone in that type of setting.

I don't really care for the Red's animal (BEAR) design on
his shield. I like the Wolf design on the Purple night,
though.

As far as weapons go, I think the Red's sword could have
been the best, if it wasn't in the new color. So I'd rather
choose the Purple's sword, with the tan color, even though
it is on the small side.

Just my thoughts,

I kind of find it rather difficult to see which one would be my "favorite". They all look rather stupid. However, as many others have said, the black scorpion guy is most likely the most useful. It probably will also be the first instance of me purposly trying to alter a lego piece (to get that awful printing off)

The black, scorpion dude, is the best. At least he looks sort of realistic. I mean, who ever heard of rainbow-colours armour. At least black can pretend to be a metal. All the same, even a KK1 kettle-head could take him down blindfolded.

Actually, I just thought of a use for those ugly helmets. In the Silmarillion, it says that the dwarves of that time wore large, hideous masks when they went to war, and that Turin wore one when he was in Nargothrond. I had thought of using Islander masks before, but these are uglier, and look more like they were made on a forge. They do look like Bionicle masks.

Looking this image, I would say the Red Knight is the best of the Jellybeans.

Of all the figs, I would rate them like this (top=best, bottom=worst)

Scorpion Soldier
Wizard
Black Knight
Red Knight
Purple Knight
Green Knight
King
Barbie Knight

I love the Scorpion Soldier's helmet and face, and the torso is pretty good too. The Wizard is kick-butt, I wish he was in a cheaper set! The Black Knight's armor is cool and his helmet so-so, can't really see his face, though...

The Red Knight has cool armor, and I hope to get alot of him cheap off BL to make my first army. His and Purple Knight's sword are also the best-looking. The Purple Knight's helmet looks quite good, I MIGHT just paint it....

I hate Green Knight's helmet, but the printing on his armor looks cool, I might make him an Elfin leader or something. The king looks kinda dopey, only his head might be of use. Barbie's shield is the only thing good about him...

Well the 2 bad scorpion minifigs are cool, espcially the executioner one, wanted one for agres. The old wise guy looks ok, I still need to see how his torso looks like. The King is reasonable enough. I hate the flamboyant knights.

That depends. If you have your quota of wizards, those hats are somewhat annoying.

Black Scorpion dude defiantly. If he came with a different type of lego (mainly castle) he would be ok. I like him best because he has an old fashion armour. You can't get them anymore except for Harry Potter so he is OK.
I build, therefore I am.

All the flamboyant knight's have the same armour actually, it just that black is more castle the red, green and of course more castle then cyan or violet
