Do you like the Shadow Knights?

I like them, don't have any, and I plan to buy one (1) (well, maybe two...) the next time I find them for a decent price on BrickLink.

Your wish is my command.... I'll see about molding it in different colors.... maybe even some mettalics? Perhaps a gold dusted one for your valkyries.

I love the open faced (Milanese) Barbute helmet, its my favorite style of helmet next to the german salet. I was thrilled when Lego made it (and its a wicked looking version!), but the scorpion insignia is too angular.... too.... modern. That's what everyone doesn't like about it, the same with the rainbow knights' shields, their designs are too modern. If they had stuck to a more traditional coat of arms style they would be selling a lot more, IMHO. However, I love them for their dark red parts. I live for the day I get a nice new fig with new colors... and I TEAR it apart and harvest its appendages.

As far as I know KKII.2 is selling quite well. The heraldry isn't what is selling the sets though, the better set design is what makes them much better than KKII.1.

As for the Shadow Knights, now I have over 100 and 4 more chess sets due to arrive around Oct. 13.
