As the others have said, this is the best of the batch. I kinda like the goofy visor, since I have around a dozen Vladeks it's starting to look normal.
*shudder* Those remind me of someone I know....
Didn't need to know that. :x

Hmm, this is kinda tough. I will try to remain as humble as possible in this, but I really don't like this guy (nor any of the KKII knights) much at all. I would have much rather had plain armor, or at least a more armor-esque print. The visors on all the guys jsut look to large and bulky. If I were that small I don't know how my neck would even attempt to hold it up. I do use one of the visors for my Nasgul whitchking (the head black guy of the nine in lOTR) but that is the only use I really have for it.

Sorry guys, I just don't think he is a good example of a well-made lego fig.

Yeah, this guys pretty average. His head can't really be used for much, and if you use the armour for anyone else, it would be really easy to tell that it would look like Vladek. I've tried usingthe components on various evil guys, but that makes them all too Vladek-looking. They coul've at least made it plain like the Viking armours.
But thats Lego for ya.
The face is okay, but it gets very annoying having a million of them but no-one to use it on. Like that stupid Johnny Thunder fig.

I'll give it reasonable marks because thankfully they're is a plain torso beneath that armour.

I like this guy. That helmet's growing on me, and the armor can be brasso'd. As said, I've used that face for witches, and who can't use a plain black torso?

Very good minifig. His armour can be used as a lot of other things. Does anyone else think his face looks like a monkey?
