Got all the figures, complete. Also got the Sky Claw...got them all really cheap a long time ago off ebayers. One seller ended his listing for me to buy all the figures. Only things I never got were the Dagger Assault Vehicle and the Capture Chariot and Lancer Cycle.
I would have liked it if the 2nd series of figures/vehicles had been made, I mean, 18 new characters...

I love this idea tbh. I had a couple of the figs back in the day and I thought the standards were way dorky. If they had been more "knightlike" I probably would have had more of these.

all the baddies had beards, which I found funny. They should have had a few with scars or deformed, allowing us to see all their faces made the villains a bit naff really. But I do like the toys.
Heres a factoid: the UK never officially had the Dagger Assault Vehicle with Reekon, we had just the figure as a mail in offer. I did however only ONCE see the full vehicle in a UK newsagents chain local branch as they used to import in toys from the USA/Canada like Robotech, G.I.JOE (had a few Python Patrol vehicles like the Conquest, STUN and I think I recall the ASP,) STEEL WARRIORS (kids would steal the figures from the boxes!), Computer Warrors to name a few toylines. So they had it there and I was amazed as a kid to see such a large box. It was around that time I saw the G.I.JOE THUNDERCLAP, we never had that officially in the UK neither.

I always thought they were pretty cool, their design & articulation made them like oversized medieval GI joes! althought i always thought it was funny that the holes underneath their chestplates looked like an electrical outlet.

I found some of these guys up on ebay, and I remember having a couple of loose ones when I was a kid. The prices are all over the place on the MOC listings. Holograms added value to a toy when I was a kid (the late 80s-early 90s). Battle Beasts were populate with my group of friends for this reason, as well as the old colorform holographics stickers (particularly MOTU).
Just looking for some thoughts. I don't possess any right now, but I am very interested in picking up at least 2. Thoughts?

I like the line. The hologram thing was a pretty neat gimmick, and I liked that they are basically two ups of GI Joes.
If you want to get into this line be patient. You can find the stuff cheap if you wait. A complete loose figure can be lsited for up to 20 bucks, but if you auction watch enough you can easily get them in the 5-7 dollar range, it just may take a while.

I love 'em, have a few. The prices seem crazy for them for the last few years. Don't forget Supernaturals for the hologram feature!

Which line do people like best, visionaries or super naturals? Neither one are good sellers for me in my shop, but I personally think super naturals are cooler, but then again I always default to the horror element.

I collected the hell out of these and Super Naturals as a kid. In fact, I think for a long time I thought the lines were tied together. My knights fought the evil Super Naturals. Ah, the good ol' days.

Hey folks, new to the boards , i am a digital sculptor by trade working in Visual effects and collectibles. I am planning to make digital sculpts of the Spectral Knights totem animals and perhaps the Darkling Lords ( would have to find a way to get them articulated later on, for now they would be to scale with the figures but unposable ) and uploading the sculpts to shapeways, where they can be 3D printed in a clear material ( hopefully blue tinted, or could be dyed Blue)...Always bugged me as a kid we never had the animals to go with the knights, so i will be doing this shortly . Ill post pics as i get them sculpted out.

Love the show more than the toys. Use to love the toys until all of my figures that use darker blue plastics began to get the plastic degradation disease :/

I think someone is about to do a Kickstarter on a book about Visionaries collecting. I would love some of those series 2 guys!
