Thanks for the close up René! As I suspected the horse has a brand new saddle with rear harness! Cooooool!!
A.

Yes. And there are three different types of shield in the set ... but not one of them is an Egyptian type (which people like you have been using so successfully in your customs).

The two dark figures are pretty. The orange one less so. I don't like the mounted knight/halberd combo. And as I said elsewhere, the base is an utter waste of plastic. I wouldd have been tempted to buy another one of these, but 20 euro is too expensive for those 3 klickies, and I wouldnt know what to do with another base.

And not even gonna go into the inanity of the cannons.

Agree. I wanted the klickys with "equipment"... But the base.. meh. And the cannons.. I have no idea if it's accurate or not, but I think cannons with knights suck. All the ones we got so far will be sent to the pirates.

And one last thing ... I think now I can safely say that the bucket helm on the mounted knight (also seen on the last crusader) is one of the ugliest helmets ever released by playmobil. It just doesn't work. esp when paired with a feather or feather-like accessory.

I don't really like most HUGE helmets.. Klickys already have a ... large head. With those huge helmets.. well... Besides, it hides their gorgeous faces!

I don't mind great helms if theyre done properly - there are some really pretty customs out there if you see what I mean. But this one, it's a bit half-assed (ass as in donkey ... just in case I get told off for saying that  ;D)

Thanks for sharing. I actually like the helmets but that wing feather looking thing on top of it has to go. I think the swivel cannon is cool but not with knights!  These cannons would look cool mounted on top of a prison fortress.

…the knight set is not very good i think. it cost very much ( 20€ ) and just the knights might be interesting. i think the whole stoney-canon-tree thing is a waste of plastic and not very creative.

another thing that is really not well done is the design of the box. all products are in a total wrong perspective to the background. it just looks like a photoshop beginner did it. looking at the old boxes make me think : where is the evolution in the pics ? seems to go from "wow so nice" to "hmmm.okay" . it seems that every box is getting worse. sorry but this is not the spirit from the good old days…

the penguin set is making sense with the glass windows etc. this one i like a lot more.

Still ... those Eagle Knights are awesomely good. I really would love to see some more sets with them...
