Look at this guy, he's dual wielding a sword and a spear! He's amazing!
AAAAAGGHHHHOh, I disagree with your Vladerk and Mathias comment, because I liked them, but yeah, the jellybeans are terrible.mouthofsauron wrote::evil: The rascus, jayjo, santis, danju, mathias, and vladek figures were bad all three years.

That's bad. The flying witch ship looks like a classic compared to this thing.
and the bat is a nice touch.) I thought the Fright Knights were dreadful; I remember looking at the 1997 catalogue and being quite shocked at what I saw, and to this day I can't bring myself to like them. They may have some useful elements but overall I consider them to be a failure - their sets are wacky, unrealistic and generally ridiculous. The crystal ball powered 'flying machine' is an example of this. I would argue that it was the Fright Knights that killed Castle, and good quality Castle didn't really return until about 2005.PunkRockCowboy wrote:I think that the Fright Knights weren't bad as a whole, especially compared to KK2. For me they contributed some really useful torsos, shields (the only KK2 shield I like is Jayko's), bats, chains, brown spears, short swords, helmets (minus the overuse of the bat lord), a witch, a black dragon, a broom, a cat, a crystal ball. All useful things in my opinion, even if a lot of the designs were crazy.

Of course, it's in old grey, so I guess it's automatically good

Don't forget Vikings. And anyway, what was so bad about KK2 in 2005? At the time most people generally had praise for the Fortress set. Granted the year wasn't perfect at all but I think it's the first time since the mid nineties that you start to see real effort being put into the sets.PunkRockCowboy wrote:2005... uh what?
