The variety of figures is great for D&D, easy to identify bowmen/spearmen/macemen. The figures are a little too tall for regular guys (they overshadow your 1" minis) but a little too small for giants. Still, you can't beat the price per figure.

I ordered these as favors for my son's birthday party. They were a huge hit with everyone.

This is definitely the most knights you can get for the price, especially if you get free shipping via Amazon Prime. The figures are reasonably well formed (a few bent swords coming out of the package) and have good detail. I was mostly disappointed with the selection of poses and their distribution between the two colors of men. I count 12 different poses in my set, 6 poses per "side" (color). But, the gold side has 8 figures with maces (2 poses), 6 figures with swords (2 poses) and 6 figures with axes (3 also holding flags). The silver side has no maces or axes, 6 archers (3 longbow, 3 crossbow), 4 peasants with pitchforks (might be historically accurate, but definitely not knights), and 10 knights with swords (in 3 different poses). The poses/colors of my set seem to be opposite of those shown in the product picture.

Perhaps there is a true historical reason the weapons were selected for each side (the English did favor the longbow), but I would have preferred a more even distribution. The gold figures mostly have round shields, but I haven't found anything that indicates a specific time period or nationality (I could be wrong).
So these are good if you want a lot of figures. If you want more interesting or colorful figures you might look at the other knight sets on Amazon. Unfortunately their shipping costs can be as much as their price. After I ordered these I found several different sets (Knights & Dragon Toob, Crusader Knights & Horse Figure Playset (12 Knights & 4 Horses) (Bagged) by BMC, Knights Play Set, etc) at a local Hobby Lobby for less than Amazon's price (and no shipping). Generally it is not easy to find knight figures, so I was surprised to see them there (I had looked several other places locally with no success).

These are pretty sturdy little toys. They're made of the same kind of plastic as those little green army men. The package was perfectly evenly balanced (20 gold 20 silver) with an even number of figure types of each color. Over all the worst thing about this product for me was trying to find it in the first place. Almost all the Army men out there are geen WWI army men or Civil War Army men.
This was good buy!
