I voted for Knights Kingdom I. He's my favorite, although i don't own one.

The other kings' heads not counting KKII were knights at one point and they shall remain knights in my mind!

I voted the Royal Knight king, because for many, many years, Royal Knights (and their king) were my favourite Castle king.

Even now that I have "grown up" some, I still like him, although I'd probably have gone Chess King if I hadn't had a Royal Knight upbringing.

I would say the Royal knights king to. He was like the real lego king because he had the first "real" golden crown(I'm not sure

)

You're not sure if he had the first golden crown? Rest assured, he did.

Or, if you're not sure if he's the best king, rest even more assured: he is.

Anyhow, I would vote for Royal king no matter who was on the poll...

Knight's Kingdom...I like the blue and gray colour scheme more than the red and white of King Philip...But really I'm happy as long as we don't have another "bley beard"...

I think that the KKI one is the best, I do'nt know, the face jsut says KING. The rest of his body I do'nt know about, the legs look good, but the torso does'nt really go toghether with the banners of this faction.

Any way, they all had lions as CoAs so I guess they are basicaly the same guy, except this new one, Mathias. He has a lion too, maybe a close realtive.

I was about to ask the same thing. I always thought of this guy as a king even though he doesn't have a crown. Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

Personally I don't like the LEGO crown too too much. I think it is nessassary, but should not be worn around all the time. It looks too much like a crown to pass for a battle helmet. And real rulers did not wear there crown for long periods of time. Crowns were uncomfortable and cumersome, only for ceremony.

IMO, the king from 383 is fine!

Sean Connery of course, because every good king needs a Scottish accent.

The chess king I would have to say. The Royal knight and KK1 are ok. Good faces, ok shirts, but they have only so much use. KK1 pants are awesome. I hate the Kk2 king. The gloves are disgusting. And the beard is terrible. His whole colour sceme is horrible.

The chess king has the most useful parts, not to mention the fact that he was the king I never had but wanted.

It's funny, because I actually use the KK1 king's head for Sean Connery... why I have use for a Sean Connery minifig is beyond even me.
Anyways, I like the KK1 king because a) he looks like Sean Connery and b) I like the color scheme and design of his body. Perhaps the body isn't quite fit for a king, but I like it anyway.

I'd have to vote for the chess king as well because it is the first time I have seen one
