very nice stuff.. the stickers look really well done and look nice as well.
however, one thing i would like to see is larger animals on the shields and
breastplates.  the only way i know who is a phoenix is that you say what they
are.  the griffins excepted, i think all the animals are a little bit on the
smallish side.

also some of the images seem to get a bit cluttered.. to much stuff around the
animal print, like lines and whatnot.. perhaps clean the image up a bit,
simplify it.

since you have pawns and and queens and whatnot.. have you ever thought of a
chess set? like with green phoenix versus orange phoenix or something.. that
might be pretty cool.

good job!

would be my Brickbay store EJ's Custom Castle @

y'all think or how I could improve.  Thanks!

Thanks everyone for your comments. One comment was that they are still a little pricy to amass a huge army. To remedy that, I have started to list them sans equipment for about $2. However, the overwhelming comment was "sell just the stickers". (...) (23 years ago, 5-Dec-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) I agree, I like the griffin design a lot, but the pheonix and espcially the bear could be bigger. You could also add chevrons, lilies and cross bands and stuff. Also, some of the shields seemed to be in a colour between red and orange, and (...) (23 years ago, 6-Dec-01, to lugnet.castle)
