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.
Going to hid in his dark age,

and arrow

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 :)

That would have to be the Black Knight with the foofy mustache. He's so
cheerful-looking, he always makes me laugh. Interestingly enough, he's
specifically a sailor - I don't think he's anywhere except on 6057 Sea Serpent
and Black Knight's Boat, with different costume. His Fibblesnork pages:

He might be behind one of the mysterious full-face helmets, but I haven't found
him anywhere else yet.
Next?
Cheers, Heather

Is it the same head in 6009? (It loks the same in the brickshelf.com instructions,
anyway)

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 :-)

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.
