![]() They might be simple, but they will help protect your investment here. ![]() One thing I sort of breezed over was that all the knights also include basic display cases. I don’t think this hurts quite as bad as it would with some, as too much articulation on an animated style figure can lead to disastrously ugly sculpts at this scale. But to be fair, this is a collector figure, not an action toy. He swivels only at the neck, shoulders, wrists, and waist and both the shoulders and the head sculpts work in tandem to restrict movement. There’s not much for him in this category unfortunately. He is a bit tough to get onto the peg, so I recommend placing your knight on the stand first and then weapons afterwards, lest you break a handle off in the peg hole and lose it forever. This way you can display the lot together without needing a ton of space, like so: Wicked! The included base comes with holes for each as well as a peg for your knight’s foot. He includes 4 weapons from the game: a sword, mace, broad axe, and even the fish! They all include painted details from the game including cartoon lining and dried blood. The whole thing has sort of a matte finish and sometimes it’s hard to figure out what’s paint and what’s plastic. He looks just like the character art, down to the little crease in his brow to show he is pissed off and ready to lay some medieval smackdown! The figure is small, around 3 and a half inches, and what little detail there is to the character is molded in, other than the cross of his chest. There’s a lot going on, but it all serves to protect your toy, so I guess that’s okay. ![]() Oh the UPS tag is connected to the package, the package is connected to the mailer, the mailer is connected to the (say it with me, Kids) display case, the display case is connected to the inner white box, the inner white box contains the baggies, and finally I get toys! I can’t believe how many boxes this thing comes in. Of the four main characters, I chose my favorite–The Red Knight, master of good and cutesy lightning effects. Basically, if you don’t stumble across them looking for merch or customs, you probably won’t know they exist. The figures are somewhat strange in that they were never advertized in any major way. The artful animated violence and overall sense of humor of the game is silly and juvenile and fits the style of this flash-based fighter perfectly. You play a knight with superpowers chasing princesses and gems across a violent medieval wasteland. Adding progressive levels and upgrades at each level made characters unique and the unlockable playable characters, weapons, and orb power-ups made the game a must-play title. If you’ve never heard of Castle Crashers, here’s the rundown: In 2008, indie publisher The Behemoth (creaters of Alien Hominid) released an Xbox Live arcade beat ’em up that took the online world into dark alleys and beat it into submission with classic 4-player gameplay a la X-Men Arcade and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
