Knights of Avalon

 

Schleich Knights   World of Knights Series. 

These toy knights by Schleich, with their great animated poses now make my plastic childhood knights a little stayed, progress I guess even comes to toy knights. Friedrich Schleich founded the German Schleich Company in 1935

These knights were introduced in 2003 under the title" World of Knights."

This Knight is approx. 13 cm to the tip of his sword (near 6 inches). All plastic manufacture with hand painting.

The molding is very detailed and gives a different meaning to the word toy. The pose has the feel of Elastolin, I would like to discover the designers name, he has done a fine job.

Judging by the box these are being produced in China and the series at the moment runs to 18 different figures with more planed. 

Congratulations to Schleich for a wonderful series.
