Zarohum Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) Anyone remember the theme from 2004-2006? Jayko, Danju, Santis, Rascus, Vladek, etc? I thought maybe since they had figures, a lot of Bionicle fans might remember it. I've had a few friends who even got the two confused. <_<I hate how they never ended the Adric/Kentis/Dracus/Karzon/Jayko/Vladek arc. And by the way, if 2006 was like 30 or 40 years after 2004 and 2005, why is Vladek still alive and Danju isn't? <_<if you want to see the old comics, click here.I also posted the instruction booklet comics in a topic somewhere. I'm too lazy to find it right now. Just go to my page, look at my topics, and you should see them.

Protodite Karzahni Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Dah, how could I forget, I even made my own little comedy about it, which died when I ran out of ideas. I'll confess I only bought a couple of sets. The designs just seemed a little off to me. Although the weapons are some of the best designed from Lego I've ever seen. Quote I wrote stories once. They were okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aanchir Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I really liked Knights' Kingdom II. It was a pretty great theme. Regrettably, I only bought the minifigure-scale sets from the first year of it, which in hindsight had some of the worst designs. 2005's playset designs were quite excellent in comparison.There's a lot of commentary and pictures, including unused concept art, by an artist for the theme right here. Seeing some of the concepts, it feels like Knights' Kingdom II was originally envisioned to be about as radical in concept as Ninjago. It's a shame that things like the animal-shaped castles (including the transforming lion-to-scorpion Castle of Morcia) didn't end up becoming sets. The transformation function of the final Castle of Morcia set, which I have, was quite lame in comparison.

T.B.O.C Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I was in love with the originals, bouth all of them (except Santis for no reason) and I was so happy to see the Castle of Morcia that year under the christmas tree. The second year wasn't too bad, but I didn't enjoy the thrid as much, though it was still good.

Sumiki Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 And by the way, if 2006 was like 30 or 40 years after 2004 and 2005, why is Vladek still alive and Danju isn't?If memory serves, Danju was the oldest of the Knights. He was probably dead.I liked the sets alright, they had some decent parts. The '06 parts were really great, and only recently did I get any of them at a vendor at BrickFair 2011.

Sumiki Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I was always under the impression that Danju was at least slightly older. A look at the face prints for the sets reveals that Danju had gray hair, yet Vladek did not. Quote avatar by Lady Kopaka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danju was still alive even by the very end of 2006. He and the other Knights of Morcia can be seen in this illustration from towards the end of a 2006 storybook, after Vladek is defeated.

UltraHau Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Ah yes, I remember this brand I even still own a few of the sets, but what I really remember about them is that Danju's and Vladek's names are swapped on the back-of-the-canister set list (for lack of a better term).And Aanchir is correct: Danju did not die, he's still active as of the second story arc. What bugs me is that they never explained why the KoM suddenly quit working with Jayko (or at least slipped from the limelight)...

Valendale Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 (edited) Vladek had couple of very cool castles and towers, but I was largly disapointed in the good guys. Especialy that joust set. Couldn't they have reached the same result by just putting some wheels on the regular horse? The action figures were okay. However, something like a medevil BIONICLE would've been better and more useful. Edited November 23, 2011 by Valendale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarohum Posted November 27, 2011 Author Share Posted November 27, 2011 (edited) Does anyone have the '06 sets? I'm looking for all the '06 sets except for Dracus, and I can't find any that aren't really expensive, or on ebay. Anyone willing to sell them for a semi-reasonable price?Also, I might consider buying some of the playsets, like the Castle of Morice, Vladek's Dark Fortress, Citadel of Orlan, Mistlands tower, etc. Not sure about those, though.Also, does anyone know where to find the online comics? Not the one in back of the instructions, but the online ones that actually moved. Or the 2004 figure ones.Also, do you guys remember the words... Banteras, Talonjay, Alendan, and Orkosan?
