I honestly feel VINTAGE are superior, but the reissues are far worth their cost. The armor itself is worth the money! Here are the facts as I see them about the current Mighty Vikings / Noble Knight Reissues. Remember all of this is subjective, may the collectors make their own conclusions on the reissue quality and worth. I would say they have merit.

Sir Cedric the black Knight!

The figures are molded in black vs the dark purple UK Swansea produced vintage versions. I still feel it is lighter, more hard plastic like. The poly accessories are Black, harder. Broken tabs are still an issue. The custom version I did still had a few tabs that broke. Be careful during assembly! Accessories are sealed in bags for the most part. The flag is cardboard not paper like vintage. The Pole is not stained like vintage. The feather is black not yellow like vintage, lastly NO INDIAN flesh! Vintage had both, Indian red being most sought after. The Vintage toyroom has a custom version see pics! See the forsale list for pricing! Another improvement is the springs. Proper size springs are now used in the fugures legs. Rivets seem better. They are painted assembled though, vintage were painted prior to assembly. NOW...Points on reissues... Time will tell what molds they have complete. Stony? The Girl From UNCLE? Mike Hazard? HMMMM... It does not like any more will be out in the near future. Black Knights could be the last one. Enjoy what you get reissued, and most of all lobby for something NEW! UNIQUE! Jesse James! James West! We are lucky any of these molds are still around quite frankly. They are large and take up alot of space. Who would have thought we would want toys made as collectibles 20 plus years later, Tom- VTR

Odin The Viking Chieftain and Erik the Viking Son!

The figures are molded in Maroon and White unlike the vintage. Same in size, and color. I still feel it is lighter, more hard plastic like. The poly accessories are silver or gold. Despite how they were packaged, the intent was to have GOLD poly for Odin and Silver for Erik. The colors were switched after production, a small gliche...The VTR submitted these orig color concepts, so all of our products will be sold in that manner in which it was intended. Maroon/white/gold for Odin, and White/black/silver for erik accs. The vinyl accessories are nicely manufactured, both Eriks black, and Odin's white. Another improvement is the springs. Proper size springs are now used in the fugures legs. Rivets seem better. They are painted assembled though, vintage were painted prior to assembly. NOW...Points on reissues. We were lucky on the knights and vikings! all molds were complete! I hear the black knight is coming, though a few things like body color is different. It will not be Indian flesh color either so I am told. They sound nice just the same, what a bargain they will be! Missing and damaged mold equipment. If duplicate molds are located, perhaps future figures may include the proper gear, but for now? Negative- Plan on Vintage for that. Get ready for this story to repeat perhaps in later figs... After 30 years of tearing a company down, I guess alot gets damaged and lost, sold, etc. Time will tell what molds they have complete. Stony? The Girl From UNCLE? Mike Hazard? HMMMM...Enjoy what you get reissued, and most of all lobby for something NEW! UNIQUE! Jesse James! James West! We are lucky any of these molds are still around quite frankly. They are large and take up alot of space. Who would have thought we would want toys made as collectibles 20 plus years later, Tom- VTR

Sir Stuart and Sir Gordon Review!

The figures are molded just like the vintage in size, and color. The armor is a very close color match as well. Reissue color is right on! The exact same number of accessories are included with the reissues. Click here to see Gordon, Click here for Stuart. The Bodies feel similar to the vintage, the weights are 10.5oz vintage vs 10.25 oz new, a wash in weight, I would say they are alike in weight. Price Is exceptional! The Armor is worth it alone! Obviously knights are attainable to people now more than ever. The first difference I will hit on is the hardware! The Rivets stick out on the shoulders, and a little on the hips. The Mexi Vikings have the rivets countersunk in, so why the miss on these? They were made in the same plant. A second hardware difference is the arm springs are used on the legs. Vintage uses a bigger spring on the legs. See Pics. Hair Paint is another difference. Reissues have flat paint, painted by hand, not airbrushed with stencils like the vintage. See the Stuart and Gordon head Pics. Armor may look the same, but it seems a little more fragile. Some tabs were damaged, and break rather easily, so be careful! The shoulders are broke most of the time on vintage figures, the same applies to the reissues. I would have liked to see the armor sealed in bags on the trees! Then collectors could put it on only once, more carefully(and break the tabs themselves). Now the box. The box is too big, a pain to ship, and is not strong enough. I think we all agree to keep it to the Playing Mantis, or Dragon packaging style and design. The attempt was nice, but a miss by collectors p.o.v. Typos. Yes I know I cant throw stones, but Stuart and Noble are spelled as Stewart and Nobel on some of the literature/packaging. The graphics still looks cool though, I think they are off to a good start. The Flag Banner is cardboard, not paper like vintage. Here is trivia, The right hands are from The JWA Quick Draw series! Note they have a hole in it for the pistol! The Staff is unstained, 99% of vintage staffs were stained. Lastly, I know its nit picking, most vintage feathers I have seen are not flat at the end, rather they are fluffy. Please email feedback!!!
