I actually meant that I had kept him in his own armor and just added a cape, but I guess I wasn't too clear about that. I think he looks pretty good.
By the way, since I didn't like the purple helmet, I replaced it and Danju's head with the blond wavy hairpiece and the head that came with it. Now he looks like the type who thinks he's God's gift to women... I like to add a little humor to my world.

Now that I have all five in front of me properly equiped with their color-coordinated armor and door they have by way of a shield, let me say:

Yes, the helmets are too big. But, with the big sword, and big shield, and armor, it balances out a bit. It also makes the fig look taller, which helps.

Colors: well, I can put up with a few knights with odd colors...except that pastel blue. Visor shapes. Green's my favorite. Blue is actual pretty good - I like the way it comes down low in front of the armor and protects the throat. Both are good in profile. Purple is another good one and at least semi-realistic. Red: blarg. My least favorite. It's bulky, and looks like a dinged overturned bucket. Black: I'd probably hate it if it wasn't black, but at the same time after switching it with an old black visor, I'd have to say the new one matches the total figure better.

So, that was my official two cents worth after a great deal of hemming and hawing about not having the actual figs in hand.

And no, I didn't buy the castle and I didn't buy them as individual figs. (we need a toungue sticking out smiley) :D

I just bought my first KK2 set (the smallest one) and I have to say that the visors do appear to be large :( . I couldn't figure out a good way to combine the new visors with other figures or other types of armor.

This said, KK2 is supposed to be for ages 7+, so I guess the minifigs suit the sets because Lego put more emphasis on the 7 and less on the plus.

I don't know about the entire product line, but the one KK2 minifig available in town is for 6+.
