Well i headed up to Target and too my surprise they had some new blisters . (http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/2904/p1010192uc1.jpg) (http://img529.imageshack.us/my.php?image=p1010192uc1.jpg)
The Green Knight is nothing new ( 4586 ) and unless you are into Fantasy is not that exciting . I do find him quite useful for parts such as the long pony tail wig and the unshaven face . I also like the decal on the shield for different colored older versions of this Dragon knights i have .

The other Knight is also an old repeat but do to the fact i have none, I am happy with him. He has a darker look with nice red decals and highlights that make him an overall great bad knight . I would have preferred it come with a shield with the same lizard looking decal on his throat armor but seeing as this is supposed to be a reproduction Playmobil stayed true to the older special

Knowing that playmobil was sticking to true reproduction, there certainly was nothing stopping me from changing what i do not like . The first thing that stood out was the gold belt . It just did not fit with the color scheme so i thought this would look better

Overall at $2.49 and getting two old specials ( 4633 & 4586 ) and despite my initial dislike of the pair, i will now be getting a few more for the collection

Boy as soon as you get them out of the box they are at each others throats. I can see why so many mint in box collectors refuse to let them out of their dark prisons

Nice review, Rasputin; I like the ending! I think your change of belt is a great idea and really pulls the attire of the knight together. The gold belt made him look as if he'd either got dressed in a hurry or in the dark.

The silver belt is definitely and improvement!
Although these two knights aren't my cup of tea, I wish my Target, which I visited today, would stock something besides last year's blister packs!
