I'm a castle person too...

I have 5 Johnny T faces so I decided to use them as smug knights. Under the
new castle helmet, you can see little difference between them and the black
mustached knight (See <set:4811>).
I use Johnny's torso for castle as well. After Craig (H.) told me to (and I
quote) "Grab a Johnny Thunder and go to town, literally" I just had to follow
his advice and take off the gun... (using an Xacto knife) Presto! A wanderer's
torso.
And the brown legs are too good to pass.

Rudo's torso would also be cool without the guns. Haven't tried it yet tho'.

My main problem with them (and Dr. kilroy/lightning) is their glasses. I can't
picture medieval people with glasses. I might be wrong here but it seems as
though glasses were invented much later... Just my 2 cents.

You gotta. That face is way to nice to pass just because a mike. I couldn't
resist it, result is seen here:

Dr. Kilroy's torso w/suspenders is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen,
BTW. I have yet to find a use for that...
