Britains Knights of The Sword Lion Castle Playset No. 7792

Well, I do believe this will be the last post for Britains medieval toys for a while. It was meant all along to be a gap filler while I was working on other photos and posts. Hopefully I can re-engage the subject in the near future with better set-ups, but - being easily distracted - I would really like to start working on another series of toys for the blog.

This Britains Knights of The Sword Lion Castle Playset No. 7792 came to me nearly complete. As far as I can tell it's only missing one flagpole and flag. Generally speaking, most of the little accessory pieces tend to be easy to find - I still can't find a replacement flagpole LOL Oh well. The castle is fairly large in order to accommodate the 54mm figures and includes a cast-in obligatory moat along with a nice portcullis that raises and lowers.. I had taken the set out and photographed it, but then put it back as other things caught my attention and the board it's sitting on in the photos was used for other things. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

Britains Knights of The Sword Power Knight's Pack

Here's a set of Power Knight's which came in a box most probably used as a counter display/ I'm not sure if Britains would have sold this whole box as a single retail unit.  In any case, these packs tend to get pricey and it was that way back in 2019 when I bought this and took the quickie photos, so I must have gotten it for a good price otherwise I would've just passed it up. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

Britains Knights of The Sword Power Dragon

The Britans Knights of The Sword range of toys introduced a series of riders and figures with pull-back (or pull-&-go) motors in them. This figure was called the ''Power Dragon' and was sold on a blister card as No. 17550, a boxed set with a Power Knight No. 7755, and as part of Britains' castle playset. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

Britains Knights of The Sword Ballista Set No. 7785 - No Box

On the one hand, buying these sets in their original boxes is really cool. On the other, there's a twinge of guilt taking pristine toys out of their packages. You don't get that when buying loose pieces. The photo here shows an incomplete ballista set that found it's way into the collection. The number for the boxed set is 7785 and would have included two ballista operator's and two silver knights. As the knights would have been any of the poses Britains made, I could've culled a couple from my stash and included them in this photo but chose not to. As you can see, a 'ballista' is little more than a really big crossbow and would have tossed outsized darts at the enemy or the enemies' fortifications. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

Britains Knights of The Sword Siege Set No.7769

Here's another boxed set I got some years back. These boxed sets tend to get pricey but I have managed to find sellers that offered them for very reasonable prices and did end up buying a couple. Okay, okay, I know that sooner or later I'll have to break these out of the box and take more photos but for now this is what I have - sorry! Enjoy! Opa Fritz

Britains Knights of The Sword Catapult and 2 Figures Set No. 7746

Over the past few years the collection has gotten a few sets from Britains "Knights of The Sword" range. There seemed to be a whole lot of them and it only took a little research to find out more - there's a reason there's a whole lot of them! I'll post what few sets I have but probably won't pick up any more than a few more sets :-) (just a 'few more'...where have I heard that before? LOL).  I culled this off the Internet:

KNIGHTS OF THE SWORD

KNIGHTS OF THE SWORD

In 1986 Britains re-branded their Knights and Turks range as Knights of the Sword. The range remained in production until the end of Deetail production in 1998. The figures previously known as Turks and The Black Knights are now called Storm Knights. The Knights of the Sword range has the largest number of sets of any of the Deetail series.
