Well if you're talking helms, my favorite is the helm with the pig-faced
bassinet(sp?) or "moveable visor". The new pikeman's helm looks kindof neat
as well. However, I also like the peasents cowl and regular long hair.

Ditto on the helmet. The pig-faced visor is way cool. Fortunately it seems
to be back in 2000 (Yay!) Other than that, I like a variety of hair. I would
definately like to see some Qui-Gon Jinn or Padme hair in different colors.

I agree that all the helms above are good (the best is the one with the
moveable visor, but I love the peasant and woodsman styles. The best: The
Robin Hood Hat!

Let's see... the order I'd rank 'em in... how bout I rate 'em on a scale of 1
to 10? (10 is the best, 1 is worst)
Castle helmets:
8 Grille helmet
9 Moveable grille helmet ("pig nose?")
9 Bullet helmet
10 Bullet/Flare w/ nose guard helmet
3 Dragon Master's helmet
2 Bat Lord's winged helmet
8 New saucer helmet
5 Old-school moveable grille helmet
Other castle headwear:
4 Princess's conehead hat
4 Wizard hat
8 Hood
6 Robin Hood-style hat
9 Shoulder-length hair
4 King's Crown
3 Short "Boy" hair
1 "Pig tail" hair
Other castle-potential headwear:
10 Padme's hair
8 Qui-Gon Jin's hair
9 Darth Maul style hood
That'd be about how I rank them (at least in terms of castle usage... things
like the "pig tail" hair and short "boy" hair fit in very well in other places,
just not in castle. Did I forget any headgear that was used in a castle set?

yeah! you forgot two of my favorites! the beard and the green stocking cap worn
by the forest babe! the stocking caps from pirates/ninja have great castle
potential, as do the tri-corner hats and adventurer hats when garnished with
plumes. i've used these for castle denizens, highwaymen, gypsies and
villagers....

I think the rating I would give the following is: (if helmet/hat not mentioned
is because it is considered junk in the independent study:-)
10 Grill helmet
10 Sallet Helmet (Visored
10 Bullet
8 barbute (not really a barbute since the flange is really suppose to be
chainmail, so would be a norman helm) Marked down 2 because of flange should
have just been the helm.
10 New helmet (forget the name) Real period style will fit in good. Better
that the barbute only because they should have made the barbute more accurate
to the real norman helm.
10 green robin hood hat
10 crowl
Best crest fig was the falcon most realistic, though lion would come close.
They will probably never make again because of cost. the silver and gold part.

I never realised that TLG stopped using gold/yellow on their figs anymore. Does
anyone know when did they stop? I don't have my Castle figs with me :( but IIRC,
the crusader (lion crested) fig in the forestman set 6077 (River Fortress) didn't
have any gold on his torso, so it must be around 1988/89 that they stopped using
the gold/silver "print".

~ maybe not in castle theme, but the recent ufo and insectoid series had silver
and gold printed detailing not only on the torso pieces, but on the legs and
heads as well...
i just looked at my crusader 'fig from #6077 (assembled right in front of me),
and he does have metalic gold on his torso. maybe it's because it's "new". i
opened this set from a sealed box 3 weeks ago.

The "robot" minifig(s) have gold/silver printing on them.

The Bat helmets are pretty cool if you cut off the bat wings with an x-acto
knife! This way they make a great barbarian's helmet!

I can't remember my castle figs too well now - they are in storage :(
> The "robot" minifig(s) have gold/silver printing on them.
That's right, I forgot that the android figs - the red ones in Spyrius/Unitron and the
white ones in Exploriens - and the alien figs have gold/silver prints, but then classic
space figs and futron always had the gold "logo". Do Insectoid figs have gold/silver
prints as well?
I suppose that since TLG has been using gold/silver on recent figs (aka Space figs),
they could technically produce them for castle, but with the huge amount of Juniorizing
that goes into the Castle sets, I doubt this would be so.

I wonder if the metallic paint TLG uses now stands up to wear better
than than the gold paint of yore. One of my big disappointments as
an adult trader - trading figures to get a 'crossed axe' figure with
gold paint on his torso, popping him in my pocket to take to work,
forgetting he was there and carrying him around for a day or two, and
finding that I'd worn off most of his paint. Argh. For some reason
I think that the droid torso paint wouldn't wear off quite as quickly.

Why do you say this? Metallic paint was used on the torsos
as recently as the Dark Forest and Fright Knight sets. And I
thought (although I don't have any with me to check) that
it was also used to provide detailing on the torsos of various
ninja minifigs.

Yes youre right, both gold and silver are used on the Ninja's, I only have
three ninja figures (not my specialty), but I had a look and one has gold and
two have silver detailing.

Ack! I must be in the middle of my first dark ages then. You are right, there are
gold and silver on those torso.

Oh, me too. I can't pick a single favorite minifig. But that's
pretty close. Particularly if tricked out with black bow and
quiver from the western sets. I have one of those in a Postion
of Honor overlooking my computer right now.
If there's one I like more than that, it might be the figure with
dark brown armor from the Dark Forest sets. He's standing
beside the black knight archer.
Of course, a question like this isn't limited only to the configurations
offered by the sets. The third figure standing next to those is the
witch, but I've replaced her head with the female face from the
Adventurer sets. A foxy witch*. =)

My favorite custom mini-fig is my elite Black Falcon knight. Here's the
recipe:
- blue helmet with dark gray "pig nose" visor and blue dragon decorations
- blue armor torso with black arms and blue hands
- dark gray suit of armor over torso
- gray legs with black waist
- Black Knight knight head
- black sword and blue falcon shield
I've also got a Black Falcon king, queen (maiden from Maiden's Cart with a
traditional Castle/Pirate/Islander woman head), princess (King's Mountain
Fortress princess with a white hat and white arms), and a prince. They look
very cool together! (Or they will, once I get the second white hat,
second black sword, and second silver armor piece I need.)

Yeah, that sounds like a cool one Rick. Hmmm, my favorite? I'm going to have
to say the crusader on horse:
-Grey helmet with grey visor. Red medium size plume.
-smiley head (of course)
-grey armor piece (I'd buy some of these)
-red torso with plate armor painted on it
-blue arms
-blue legs black belt
And he carries:
-yellow crusaders shield
-grey sword
His horse:
-white horse
-red carpet with yellow lions (if anyone has extras of these, I'm looking for
them as well)
-brown jousting pole with yellow and red flag
-another sword or crossbow
Well, thats my fav. He looks very kingly :)

My favorite is the "White Knight" in set#6086 Black Knight's (or Dungeon
Master's) Castle. It's the knight on a white horse with the blue and black
armor with dragon design, the gray helmet with gray visor, white dragon plume
and wings, and a white flag on his jousting pole. I'm struck by the beautiful
contrast of a knight with a white motif being associated with the "Black"
Knights and the "Dungeon Master's" Castle.

I concur completely; the Bat helmets are the worst. In fact, I resent that
Castle legos went out with such horrible sets instead of with a bang. In my
opinion Fright Knights are the worst sets in the two decades of Castle.

Right you are Jonathan - I didn't spot him in Fibblesnork because his visor is
down. So I guess he's more versatile than I thought. Still cute though :-)

Enumerated contrariness:
1. The ninja sets come with armored guys on horseback with swords fighting
over fortresses, and come in the correct set number range to be considered
castle.
2. There are "classic" (non-ninja) castle sets coming back next year.
They may make you miss the fright knights. I'm pretty enthusiastic
about them in some ways, though.
In my
> opinion Fright Knights are the worst sets in the two decades of Castle.
At least they don't come with rubber-tipped firing missiles.

Additionally, although this has been mentioned before, I'll mention
this again.
Ninja come from LEGO in boxes marked "Castle".

Well have sucky helmets and their "buildings" leave something to be
desired (walls of burps!). They did have some interesting pieces in
them, such as the cauldron as well as the black dragons. Anyways
there does not appear to much to some of the walls in the newer
castles from what I've seen of the scans. I will however withhold
judgement until the sets start showing up in my "grubby (not so)
little hands" :^) Which I want to happen *NOW* not later :^)
