Rex Tremendae Majestatis
*cue music intro: Wagner's "Siegfried's Funeral March"*
"The Dark Ages
The land was divided and without a King
Out of those lost centuries rose a legend...
Of the sorcerer, Merlin,
Of the coming of a King,
Of the Sword of Power
EXCALIBUR"
The question is: would you like to see 1/6 scale figures of King Arthur and his Knights (and Uther and Cornwall as well, of course, and Igrayne and Guinevere, and Merlin)? And if yes, who do you think would be best for this epic effort?
I vote yes, of course.
And my dream company would obviously be Hot Toys, based on their work on the armor of the Colonial Marines, their fantastic attention to detail and their great work on likeness (POTC).
A very close second for me would be SST. Although we haven't seen any work on armor from them, their latest SW releases are fantastic and I see them improving constantly.
Third would be Medicom, simply because we know they kick all kinds of butt with their armored Stormtroopers. Pricing would be prohibitive though.
A couple of interesting companies would be DID and Ignite. DID make fantastic WWII figures and have also ventured into Samurai, but at a very high cost (beyond the means of mere mortals like myself). Ignite's Knights and Romans can look very cool with a bit of futzing and customizing, but the base figure kinda sucks.
So which Knights and characters would I like to see?
Arthur (the dark, pre-round table armor could be an exclusive).
Lancelot in all his sparkly, shiny glory.
Leondegrance
Uryens
Perceval
Gawain
Mordred (not sure, his armor looked kinda silly)
Uther
Cornwall
Merlin
Morgana
Guinevere
Igrayne
These figures would quite simply blow everything else away and rule the world.
Swords would have to be metal, of course, like Ignite's.
