Toys and Games Reviews of Lego Knights Kingdom Series 1 Action Figure Vladek #8786
Customer Review: Lego action figure surprisingly good
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm an AFOL (Adult Fan of Lego), so I didn't think the action figure would be the greatest thing ever. I got the Costco set of three Jayko, Santis, and Valdek for Christmas. I was surprised that the arm and leg pieces have plenty of studs on them for "real" Lego pieces to connect to. The joints are very nice, though, and provide many degrees of freedom and good strong clicking into position. These pieces can be put together several different ways. I built three knights by using more or fewer jointed segments in arms and legs, a tall knight, a medium knight, and a short knight. My one year old son likes playing with the short knight, called King Ian the Bold!
As action figures go, however, the helmets don't stay on very well, and neither do the heads. Some of the odd shaped armor falls off if you pick it up by grabbing these natural 'handles'. The shields fall off at the slightest blow from another figure's sword blow (a lever in the back makes one arm swing up and down).
All the knights are the exact same design. They each have different colors on their arm and leg ends, with a different face and helmet design. There are pieces that snap on as "armor". One uses standard lego roof pieces for most of this, the rest use somewhat more custom looking pieces that I cannot imagine much reuse in other models. Although some of these odd armor pieces just showed up in my latest Lego Cargo Train set as hoods, bumpers, wheel wells, etc for the trucks.
I see many applications for the joint pieces in my Mindstorm based robots. There, I'm always having trouble geting the mechanicals right for sturdy arbitrary angles, which is exactly what these joints do best.

Description of Lego Knights Kingdom Series 1 Action Figure Vladek #8786
Vladek the Dark Knight has stolen the throne of Morcia, and only four brave Knights can return the true king to power. But Vladek plans to unleash an army of Shadow Knights to make sure that none can challenge his rule. The scorpion marks his shield. Who will win the ultimate challenge? Set includes 3 collectible cards!You dont have to know all the back-story behind LEGOs Knights Kingdom line to know that Vladek is the bad guy. All you really need to do is look at the guy with his menacing black outfit, spiky black helmet, and fiery red sword. As if the getup were not enough, he totes a big red and black shield with a scorpion depicted on it. Okay, Vladek, we get it. We wont mess with you. We will however take advantage of the detailed step-by-step instructions to construct Vladek or, since all the component pieces are in fact LEGOs, use the bricks to build nearly anything else under the sun. Three game cards are also included. --Charlie Williams
