I think basically what people liked the FK for was the non-Willa figs.
IMHO, the figs with the silverball mail, silver breastplate, and red
fleur-de-leis (is that spelled right?) torso, were great Castle figs. Even
the Bat Lord’s torso has some potential.
Aside from the fig, I personally liked the black/red reverse arches, black
dragons, red lattice/barred windows, and dark gray castle walls and corners.
While FK may not have been one of the better lines, even the worst lines
have some useful elements.
Also, the fairly recent clearance of #6097 at half-price and less probably
left an impression of Fright Knights=great parts at low price.
