I really like that custom "Earl" - very cool... and Rascus has a facial expression that seems to fit in very nicely with the Forestmen attitude anyway... so point well taken Jojo!
I think that the blank torso's are a bit weak, but I really don't mind too much. Normally, if you want to make a custom fig (per Redbeans' instructions), you have to get the factory print that's already on there off (brasso or what-not). These KK2 figs are almost like an empty canvas!
Well, trying to be positive~

A Forestman sits
Wondering about the next day
But after three mugs of ale
Let it bring what it may.
I vote for Vladek. Why? Well, I'll tell you why:
HE'S AWESOME!!!!!
With his nice black armor(I dont like the other colors at all..). AND he's the boss of the Shadow knights. The only thing i did to him was that i gave him another head. I didn't found a good replacement for his red sword.
The red sword is nice, yes it is, but it's size...
Anyway, I just bought the Citadel of Orlan and I must say.... The Guardian is pretty cool to...

Well, I'm pretty sure everyone would have voted for the Shadow Knight, but he wasn't a choice.
I voted for Vladek only because that black armor is awesome. But I have disassembled all my KKII figures because they're all kinda crummy in my opinion.
I got the new Lego magazine today. It seemed to indicate that (for some reason I can't explain) Jayko was the most popular figure. My personal favorite (of the four knights) is the green one. The shadow knight is pretty cool too, as is Vladek. I don't own the citadel yet, so I can't comment on the guardian.

Yea, I think that LEGO wants Jayko to be the main man, at least among kids. I think this will pretty much be a classic good-guy/bad-guy story, with Jayko staying ever vigilant and defeating all foes to become the next king or great hero of the land...
anyway, I think if LEGO pushes Jayko, they will probally convince younger fans to think of him as the favorite, impressionable minds and what-not.

I like Vladek as he has the most useful parts of all the KK2 figs aside from the Shadow Knight. Although I do find uses for ALL KK2 minifigs, Vladek is the most plentiful.
I used to think the only good KK2 fig was a dead KK2 fig, but now I think they're really cool when another fig is wearing the black armor and the Shadow Knight's helmet. As for the Guardian, I still don't understand how a designer got away with not giving him hair or a hat.
