Nice Toys Available at Michaels Craft Store Cheaper, January 23, 2010
= Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars = Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars
This exact same Safari Limited tube of knights was available locally at Michaels Craft Store for only $6.99 and there was no shipping charge. How is it that a "bricks-and-morter" store, with all its expenses and overhead can charge about 30% less than the cheapest vendors on the Internet? I would expect the opposite to be true. These cool little knights should be available for about $4.00 on the Internet & be eligible for super saver shipping. The greed continues. Caveat emptor.
As far as the figures go, they are nicely done. Tha painting is reasonably well done for a mass market item. The figures are on the "rubbery" side rather than the brittle side of plastic, which is a good thing. The swords, axes, spears, and banners will bend rather than break. The paint seems to be resiliant and impervious to the bending, but I wouldn't put it to a stress test. There is a nice assortment of figures including two horses/war ponies, a dragon, and a catapult. The set is designed to stir the imagination and I think it succeeds admirably. Safari Lmtd. is a good brand and I hope they continue to put out such excellent toys. If you haven't checked them out, they also offer pirates, James Town settlers, Powatan Indians, more dragons, Egyptian play sets, boats, planes, trains, farms, Wild West, dinosaurs, etc., and all at a similar quality and price. I highly recommend them.

Great product, great buy, December 25, 2009

My toddler loves animals so he got this in his stocking, and the Melissa and Doug carry-along barn and animals as a present. The Toob animals are FAR BETTER in quality, and the packaging says they're pthylate and lead-free. The animals are realistic looking, can stand on their own, and are a good size for little hands (and parental purses and pockets). I plan to get the other Toobs, my child has been carrying around his animals all day.

cute little animals, March 8, 2007
These animals are very cute. They are detailed and great to hide in kids pockets. The only complaint I have is the scale. The kitten is the same size as the calf! Odd.
