Ignite Industrial co. - Crusader Series - Knight
Hospitalar II This month we will be
reviewing the latest from Ignites Crusader series called Knight
Hospitaller II. As a reader of Classic Action Figures you probably have
figured out that I am a big fan of Ignite's Crusader series and by all
accounts this figure is definitely worthily of the series. |

Review
The box is the high quality packing that we have
come to expect from Ignight, not only does it protect the figure but it
adds to its display ability. The knights box is a book type with a
picture of the figure ready to do battle on the cover. Once opened you
get a view of the figure behind a protective plastic cover on the inside
cove there is a history of the Knights Hospitaller. The back of the box
has photos of the costume, head sculpt, and accessories.
|
|
| The Head sculpt is nicely done, there were no obvious
defects and the paint job was flawless. The eyes on this figure are
especially well painted.
|
|
| The body is a standard Ignight figure which is well
articulated and solidly built. Over the years Ignite has improved the
quality of their figures and now they have an excellent product,
the only complaint that I have their figures is the limited articulation
of the wrist, but other than that this is a quality figure. . |
|
| The Knight Hospitaller's costume is fantastic. He has a
multi-layered costume that borrows from past figures with some
interesting improvements. There is a outer blue tunic with the
Hospitallers crest on it. the next layer is a full chain-mail suite
with, leather on the palms and feet, this is followed by a grey padded
tunic, white cotton under garments and leggings. |
 |
| The Accessories are definitely up to Ignites usual standards
"superb". This guy comes with a die-cast helmet, sword, Battle
Axe, pike with flag, spurs and a plastic shield. |
 |
Summary:
It looks like Ignite has another winner with the
Hospitaller II, this is a strong recommend.
