Quoted from fosaisu:

Have you found many others that share your views on this? I guess if you break the toy into component parts, then the torso itself is relatively boring (I assume you also count his head as a stand-alone toy, since that does have cool interactive lighting). But to my view the flail and shield also seem like part of him since they're physically attached to his arms, and are obviously intended to be his weapons.
As you say this is all subjective, but I was kind of surprised to read that anyone would view BK as anything other than the most impressive toy Stern has put out in the past decade.

Quoted from cottonm4:

You know, on a video game you could have the knight doing double-back flips and top off the back flips with a couple of forward summersaults. On a real play field, where the laws of physics still apply and the physical parts can cost a lot to build and can result in more parts to break after some hours are put on the pin, I think Stern did a pretty good job with the knight. He looks boss.
