Ignite Knight Outremer

 

 

August 1, 2004

Ignite Industries Knight of Outremer 1187 - 1344 AD

Ignite's latest figure in their Crusader series is called Knight of Outremer.

 

Review

Let me start by saying this is a great figure. The box is the standard Ignite book type that is nicely illustrated with a image of the Knight of Outremer on the front and a battle raging in the background. On the inside cover there is a time line of the Outremer's, and the figure is viewable behind a plastic inner box. The back of the box has a  history of the Outremer's and some photos of the accessories.

 

     

 

The head sculpt has a lot of character and a little more detail than the other Ignite figures we have reviewed in the past. As with all Ignite figures the paint is superbly done not one blemish or defect.

The body is a standard Ignite figure that is very articulate and poses very well. There was a slight problem with our test figure, it's ankles were very loose and it made it very difficult to pose the Knight without a stand.

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

The Outremer's costume consist of a red fur  trimmed outer tunic, complete chain mail suit, red inner tunic, padded tunic, and leggings. Even though this costume is very similar and uses many of the same elements  from the other  crusade figures, the addition of the fur trimmed outer tunic makes this costume. This extra detail sets it apart from the other Crusade figures.

 

     

 

All of the accessories are die-cast and plastic and are superbly done. The Outremer comes with a dagger, sword, shield, and awesome die-cast helmet that is very detailed it even has hammer marks on the inside.  

   

  

  Summary:

Over all this is a great figure despite the loose foot, the costume is great and the accessories are some of the best on the market today. If your collecting medieval figures I definitely recommend you add this figure to your collection.
