6. Which Castle subtheme has the best figs?

Just out of curiousity, I noticed that a couple of people felt that the
Fright Knights was the best subtheme.  Now, personally, I *hated* the Fright
Knights.  They almost singlehandly put me in my Lego Dark Ages while they
were out (with Ninja bringing me back into the fold).  I basically disliked
them because they were the most cartoonish Castle subtheme Lego ever put
out.  Although it was really cool getting black dragons for cheap, I didn't
much care for the witches, bat helms, shield logos, etc.

So I'm wondering - what about Fright Knights did you like?

(This message is not a flame in any way - just curious to see what other
people saw in it.  Perhaps it would make me better appreciate the Fright
Knights that I own.)

Thanks,

Jimmy

Fright knights were the last straw that sent me into the dark ages. (it had
been a slow decline that began with the dragon masters) I had no desire to
get any of the FK sets at all. Ninj/starwars revived me.  In retro spect The
FK sets and fig designs that TLC came up with were rather poor, but the fig
parts were quality (except the witch head) I absulutly love the FK torso's
the light grey with the flour de lee's (horibially spelt I think) and the
dark grey with the circles are so great.  (the red one isn't bad either) but
you have to customize and not use the original FK designs.
