Great set review Andrew. I picked one of these up today and thought I check to see if there was a review already. And was happily surprised by your good work :-)
Note he's also got one of the new swords, without the downward-curving quillons. And the plume for his helmet is good, too. This is my favourite of the four characters.
I fully agree with you. To me the whole set is really made to make the knight look absolutely stunning. The clicky works for the other three charachters but not as good as for the knight.
Now here he is as the archer. The brown hood is a very nice new part, but I'm not quite sure how well it will work without some sort of shoulder covering in the same colour.
I am really a great fan of these hoods but must agree on your sentiment regarding the shoulder covering. I am planning on getting loads of 4694 (

Personally, I don't that much care for the 'shoulder pads' with the lugs for quivers, wings, etc., but I'm sure there will be plenty of folks out there who will find good uses for them 
At first I agreed with you when I only saw them used for the Dragonknights wings. But then I got a 4926 (

you can have him ride the horse with his bow and arrows both on his back. Many weapons have been worn on the back and this gives us another way to enable this.
I just need to order many of 30 202 207320's from DS!!
All in all a great set!
