Here's the Sunjade Archer in black with - OMG - a correct helmet (someone at Sunjade must've been sleeping when they approved this) Okay, that was sarcasm for those of you who may not have recognized it. Many (many) years ago, ever since I learned that Vikings didn't actually wear horned helmets it always bothered me to see modern era toys with them on. Toys made during the '50 & '60s when I grew up would not have looked out of place in horned helmets with what we understood to know then. Of course scholars knew but somehow the toy industry never caught on. But toys made now seem to perpetuate an unfortunate myth and I would ask toy makers to TRY and make more historically accurate figures. Okay, that being said, a little snip with the knife or razor blade will cure these Vikings of their horned helmet scourge!! Enjoy! Opa Fritz and Oma Bettina
