Safari Ltd Knights and Dragon TOOB

As expected...quite expensive in Canada but very easy to take along and loved by children.

I wasn’t expecting much from this little knights & dragons set, but I was totally impressed! Even though the figures are small and I got them for a bargain price, they still look really nice and feel solid. The paintwork is sharp and clean. The knights and dragon both have good detail despite being a small toy, and the sculpting is pretty decent for such a set. I didn’t feel like I was getting cheap, flimsy plastic. Instead, each piece has enough weight and sturdiness to survive lots of play, which was a nice surprise for the price. They might not be big action figure size, but for imaginative play or small‑world fun, this set is nice. I’d recommend it if you’re looking for something fun and affordable that still looks good and holds up.

Bought for my nephew. This Safari Ltd Knights and Dragons Toob is packed with fun detail and instantly sparks creative play. The knights, dragon, and catapult make it easy to build imaginative medieval battles and stories. A great hands on toy that keeps kids engaged and encourages storytelling and play for hours.

Knights are a bit small for younger kids. but hard to find replacement knights for 1990's castle. Hours of fun!!

These little plastic figures are very well detailed considering their sizes, and my 4-year-old niece thinks they're wonderful. I bought them so she'd have something to play with when she visits (practically every day) and she prefers these small ones to a larger set I bought for the same reason. Some of the pieces are a bit distorted--a bit of extra plastic on a hoof, etc. I cut them away to make them stand up, and while the horses in particular are not very stable, my niece can set them all up before she knocks them down, so good enough. The dragon is her favorite and I have commenced to fear for it, but so far it's managed to survive the worst she's dished out. It's a surprising mix of medieval figures--all eight of the knights seem to come from different eras. The red figures seem to be from circa 1100, 1415, 1500 and 1550, while the blue are from circa 900, 1275, 1325 and 1450. My niece is a little too young to appreciate the differences in armor, but that's the reason I rated the educational value so high; with an older child one could actually show the evolution of armor from the Frankish period through the renaissance. An amazing feat with tiny plastic figures with only vaguely human faces.
