Join the (unnofficial) Minifig Review! Post your opinions on color scheme, preference, etc.
This minifig is......Vladek!

Vladek was released in 2004 for Knight's Kingdom 2 and is included in The Grand Tournament, Vladek's Seige Tower, Castle of Morica and Vladek Encounter. He has a distinctly evil-looking face, a spiked visor, and armor with an interesting printed pattern.

Definitely my favorite of the original KK2 knights. The fact that it has no heraldry on the armor makes it very versatile. He has a decent head, it makes for a perfect angry old man or woman. The visor leaves something to be desired but no more so than the other KK2 visors. Overall, a rather decent fig.

6.5/10

Woman? He has a beard!
Unless, by some chance, I mixed up the heads on Vladek and a shadow knight.

This is Vladek's head, which I have used for an old woman.

This is a shadow knights head, which would look odd as a woman.

I like this figure a lot but as with all KK2 you get 'Harry Potter syndrome' very quickly. It's nice to have an angry head but when you have 20 it's a bit of a drag. Also I'm not really keen on the visor. Overall 5/10

the best KK2 minifig thus far...the black is the most realistic armour color, and the visor is pretty cool!

Not keen on any of the KKII Knights. Still, Vladek is the best of the batch. His visor looks goofy, but at least its in black. The armour is useful, and his head isn't too bad. The body itself is generic, so it can also be put to use. All in all, not a bad fig.

Later.

The visor is too big for my tastes, but other than that, I really like this guy. He's a good evil fig for your army.

Oops. I did mix up the heads. I actually like it that way though.

How many women have sideburns?

Vladek is pretty good compared to other jellybeans. His helm works awesomely for a Mouth of Sauron. At least as best as you can get without customizing. I like the armor a lot.

Well, I don't have any KK2 figs, but I'll say that I like this guy except for his head, sword (not really part of him), and visor. Everything else is (would be) useful if I had him.

Well, Peeron says that the minifig vladek has sideburns, and that the large one has facial hair. I think that head looks really wierd on a woman.

The armor is pretty good, and for that alone this is a worthwhile figure.

Oh, for crying out loud, I shouldn't have even mentioned it. But just because a head comes on a "man" fig doesn't mean it can't be used for a female fig. The sideburns can be covered up, right?

Check out this ugly old woman

*shudder* Those remind me of someone I know....

I've actually used Vladek with the female ponytail hair. It looks good.
