I bought a couple of the first batch of these big figs, and then I built pedestals for them and made them into statues, as a bit of scenery for my Lego city streets. Very big statues, as it was.
I couldn't really justify picking up any more, though.
Yuck! Those things need to be left in the (discount) dustbin of history.
I liked these. Had three of them, pretty cool figures.
I started collecting Lego only 2 years ago, but glad to have able to complete this Knight's Kingdom series from BL and Ebay
Overall they are not bad for completionist. Among them the Vladek the villian looks best (as always for the baddies)
Sweet shield dude.
Because I liked Bionicle as a kid, I was curious enough about the KK2 figures that I also got the first red one to go with the first red Toa. The click hinges were much harder to play with than the Bionicle ball joints and they wore out quickly, so I lost interest in the theme.
Never fascinated obout those, except for nice shields.
I had this one in a dubble pack with Lord vladek, and a mask and sword. I hve all of them, bt only woth the red one, I have the amaller version. I liked these figures, bit they have no rebuild value.
It hurts to look at.
Sets like this have almost dragged me into the dark age...
I always thought the heads these guys had looked weird. Like massively scaled up minifig heads that just looked strangely stretched
I got all of these guys but I ddon’t my know we’re they have gone :|
One of the first lego sets i got, man the nostalgia
I had these (and Galidor!) during my childhood. For some reason, I think these were a bit better than that failed line.
Anyone remember the KK trading card shields that came in the Lego Club magazine back in the day?
Contrary to popular opinion, I actually think these guys are still pretty cool. Sir Santis and King Matthias were the first Lego sets I ever got.
As a kid I used to love "King Arthur and the Knights of Justice" animated series. Knights Kindom sets were perfect for recreating scenes from that series; especially, since just like in the show every knight had their unique animal emblem providing them with special powers. :)
I never got any of these guys, but EXO-Force familiarized me with the click hinges. Those hinges are so clunky and awkward compared to BIONICLE's ball and socket joints, and the clutch power of the studs wasn't always enough to keep armor plating on when you failed them about too much (though, these fellas were smart enough to use pins.) Technic was clearly the better system for creating action figures!
This set does come with rare purple pieces.
