Umm, you must have gotten a different King than I did in your Chess
software. The one I got has *NO* semblance to the new king 6091...
Different colors and printing ALL around. Torso and where ever, I'd
call the torso a "fancy gold armor" type printing not the RKII style
(as I and others refer to it).. The only thing I can think of is that
I bought my Chess software early and maybe they changed production
runs, that is assuming that what the 6091 shows for minifigs on the
one flap in what's inside, I haven't gotten a chance to open it yet.
If its the same king that's in the smaller sets than it is NOT the
same as my Chess King....
Later, Mike
All other themes are jsut spare parts for Castle!
