They are all equally terrible, nothing but action toys.

Rascus is easily the best - he's the only one of the jellybellys I really want. His visor is the only one I really like.

Although, I have to say, I love Jayko's new shield.

Rascus all the way. I love his Celtic-rune armor: excellent for elves and Forestmen
i absolutely agree
i hate santis's visor, it looks like a welding helmet :evil:
rascus's head is awesome for a musketeer, thief, pirate, trickster, etc.

Jayko and Rascus of the new line are leagues better than their previous representations.

I think you are referring to the large scale figures. This topic is in regards to the system scale minifigs. Not the giant action figures.

After a long absence, I have returned. I can't wait to start building again.

Now that they have been around for a while, I actually don't mind the Knights Kingdom figures, both minifig and maxi-fig... The only problem I have is the small number of figs per set, and the poor design of the new"hero" sword...

I invite anyone, who has twenty years or more experience as a builder, to take a moment and look back on the history of Lego Castle.

Even if you don't like alll of the year to year design changes, the reusability of Lego pieces ensures that the serious builder will have enough to tide them over until the next wave...case in point, stop griping about the figures, weapons, and colors of the current Lego castle, and continue to build your own mocs, vignettes, etc. to show Lego that you support them as a company, and a product, and continue to offer constructive criticism of the company, because Lego is listening....

Vladek's Dark Fortress' only problems (as I see it) are the strange red pieces that can't really be used on anything else.

That's all, though.

Jayko and Rascus are the best ones, but they are closely followed by Danju. Santis, well, he just sucks, ..., MAJORLY!

I've never really disliked KK2, but if I had to choose my favourite I'd have to say Danju.
People say he's weird just because he's purple- now thats just stereotypical.
He's got the 'best' shield design (well come on, it's better than a monkey) and the gold sword too.

They're all pretty similar in my book, except I like Vladek's brestplate the most, expect we're not talking about him...

Red, (Santis?) has a pretty bad face. All of their helmets are kinda odd, and so is the light blue color, even though it's a nice color (for a knight!?).

I'll probably go with the green one, Rascus, just because I like his brestplate pattern slightly more than the purple one. Though his face isn't that great, and purple has the better sword, hmmm.

This only pertains to the first year of the knights. I'm too lazy to look up again what the new ones look like, and I don't have any. If I remember correctly, they are pretty good looking.
