I do hope that they retain that armor when they are scaled down. Jayko would have grey Euro armor or something similar! Yes, it would have a design, but not all that bad of one.
Also, two of the other knights would have gold-ish armor. That could look quite cool.
See, this is what the originals should have looked like - the purple figure and helm, but covered with a more realistically colored armor.
Well the first thing I said when I saw it was GAAAGGG!
But on reflection they are somewhat better than the first ones. Somewhat. I would love to see them minifig scale with that kinda armour. However, those knights don't quite look fleshed out enough. Their joints are too skinny. Still it will be interesting in the coming year.
Well the maxifigs themselves suck. They look even more like Megablocks now (Just look at the shield, YIKES!).
The only one I can truly say I kind of like is Rascus, the color scheme suits my taste.
That being said, I'm looking foward to the new minifigure versions of these, gold and silver armor and prehaps new sheilds (or maybe back to the triangles?) is nothing to frown upon.

Not really since he found them on shop@home, so they were on the official LEGO site.
I have seen these before and am very excited to see the mini-fig versions. My guess is that they will have the same helms but just with new plate armor.
I must say if the minifigs look anything like this I will buy all the sets.
Did you see the design on Danju's chestplate? It's like the WP's emblem!
The falcon is not quite like the old days but ti's getting close!
Vladek looks awesome!
And gooooooooo monkey man! Rascus looks awesome.
The big guys may not look all that cool but the minifigs hopefully will. Infact the big guys aren't THAT bad. They have some downsides such as the small joints. But their shields looks better, and they don't looks like cardboard!

It does not violate the ToS. Images/Info stolen from databases, dealer catalogs, etc are illegal if LEGO has not publicly announced a set yet. But when LEGO places images on Shop at Home or in one of their SAH catalogs, we can post links to it. This is one way they make new sets public.
Members trying to enforce CC forum policy instead of Admins and Moderators is against the ToS... Send us a pm if you think someone is violating a policy. Thanks!
My comments about the knights: I like the new shields and armor. It makes the characters appear like knights and not just action figures. Of course there are other things which I would prefer new molds to be made (pitchforks, cows, sheep, medieval hats/headwear, etc) before 4 new shields.
I would really like these minifigs... lets hope they all get knighted by Mathis or something at the end of the KK2 comics so they can afford a fashion consultant.
Yea... I would really really like it if lego would just release some castle town sets. Instead of a castle, it would be sweet to buy a castle-sized "town" or "market" or "great inn" or... anything.

I didn't buy any Galidor figures, so I don't see why I would bother buying these...
Their torsos are one piece each, it looks like (two, at most). What's that all about? I know that the original run wasn't much different, but at least they looked like building sets somewhat. The first run blurred the line between action figures and building sets, this second one crosses it and leaves it far behind. Honestly, is anybody else bothered by the fact that you can count the number of studs on each figure simply by looking at the catalog picture?
I might consider buying the new Vladek figure, if it goes on deep discount, so that I can combine it with the original Vladek figure (which also needs to go on deep discount before I consider buying it). I'm not going to be upset if I miss out though.
However, I can see why people might be excited to see these in minifig form. Different colored or types of armor might be useful, but I'm still upset that these mega figures exist.

Speaking of Galidor...
(They gave this junk out for free at Legoland Billund.)
The new Megafigs look better than the current ones, but the figs themselves look even less "LEGO" than the old ones. I wonder, though, if the 2×4 studs on the shields are real 2×4 bricks or plates or inseparable parts of the shields?

I'm wondering whether to buy one soley on the fact that last year they had a preview of the minifig sets in the instructions.
Is it worth the gamble to potentially find out what minifig sets are in store?

Sry, I dunno. I never bought the first megafigs, I only saw this on S@H. They are not even in the stores, here in Belgium.
