Massive nostalgia for these larger Knights’ Kingdom figures! Sure, they didn’t look the best, but I still had a blast with them as a kid.
I had the wave...was it 2? version of King Mathias, along with Sir Santis. Man, I loved those guys. I'm actually considering buying a few, despite their vaguely odd looks.
These guys were pretty sweet.
I found that these guys made really great statues for your Lego City streets.
Nexo Knights - the prequel
I loved these as a kid. There was four of them and four of us (my brothers and cousins) so I was always Danny! :D massive nostalgia too
Many thanks to my parents for never surprising me with a large Knights’ Kingdom figure set!
No price?
Heeey, I had this one! As a kid who was invested in both Bionicle and System, semi-system figures who were the same scale as the Bionicle models seemed pretty much the best of both worlds for me; I collected all of the first wave.
I don't think I even knew this set existed until a friend surprised me with him as a birthday gift that year, which nicely rounded off my collection!
The subsequent wave failed to interest me, though; mostly because they were the same characters all over again, just with even less building to do as large armour pieces covered most of the little brick detail on the arms, legs and chest. I will always stand by the first year of Knights Kingdom figures over any of their successors xD
Good set but of the LEGO castle I prefer the sets of the subtheme fantasy era.
I bought this for my son when he was a toddler as his first Lego set. I thought it was a cool figure which he could play with as an action figure. I remember he loved it and insisted on having it under his pillow at bed time!
I loved these when I was younger!
