Being a child of the late 60's-early 70's, I once had an action figure of a medieval knight. He came with all kinds of armor and weapons that were all removeable. It was about 12'' tall, and the bare figure was wearing maille. There was also a horse figurine you could buy for him to sit on. The horse also came with complete battle armor. The whole package was very impressive, and I would love to have it back. Anyone remember this? The same company also made some cowboy and Indian figures with a bunch of accessories. God, I miss being a kid............McM


A friend of mine had the cowboy/Indian/horse figures. Don't remember if he had any knights or not, but somewhere in the back of my brain, I think he might have. I remember about a half-dozen figures and as many horses, a chuck wagon, interchangeable tack, hats, vests, chaps, etc.. Pretty elaborate set-up. All I had was Evel Knieval and "Big Jim".

Those silly little knights in my pic also had a tiny catapult & a dragon. Can also be found at Hobby Lobby, Michael's, crafty kind of places. Bought as a joke, but thought they helped set the tone! Wink
