Fright knights were the last straw that sent me into the dark ages. (it had
been a slow decline that began with the dragon masters) I had no desire to
get any of the FK sets at all. Ninj/starwars revived me.  In retro spect The
FK sets and fig designs that TLC came up with were rather poor, but the fig
parts were quality (except the witch head) I absulutly love the FK torso's
the light grey with the flour de lee's (horibially spelt I think) and the
dark grey with the circles are so great.  (the red one isn't bad either) but
you have to customize and not use the original FK designs.
