Knights of Avalon

 

Crescent plastic toy knights

Crescent plastic toy knights were a hand painted series Although these figures are not rare ,finding good examples can prove challenging. The acrylic paint as a tendency to fall off. Apparently caused by the lack of chalk in the production of these figures. The horse should also be handled with care as they can become quite brittle.

The mounted knights have hand painted plumes and saddles. The knight and saddle are as one, covering a saddle already molded to the horse from other figure series such as the cowboys, obviously a cost cutting exercise, but it works well.
