No way, gotta have Black Knights in there for the best - love that armor! 8)

Actually, as I was helping Mel the NLNLF put together the 'figs from the Dacta
Community Workers set I got her, I was *really* pining for a similar Castle set.
Of course it'd have a king & queen, but having 15-20 soldiers and then 10-15
townspeople, merchants, farmers, peasants...it'd be *wonderful*. I'd probably
wind up with a dozen or more.

Unless they don't do it at all. 8( They didn't for DF/RK...

Well, I'm not too sure of that. The witch was annoying because that was
pretty
much *all* she could be...a witch. I bet if he had a more 'normal' face,
people
wouldn't be nearly as quick to get rid of her. After all, the black hat is
cool,
and the dress slope isn't too bad either.
I certainly wouldn't mind having a few more copies of either Leonora's or
Storm's
head, and heck, even multiples of their bodies wouldn't be too bad.
I guess they could put in 'Evil Timmy' to make the fifth...but I hope not!
