Papo Mini Tub's Knights Toy

Five year old boy and three year old girl loved these knights and horses. They have a wooden castle with some figures but not enough. These are too small really for the castle but both children loved them and played with them outside of the castle. The colors are nice and bright and the knights fit on the horses. The horses do stand up on their own.

Tube is very small-coke can size! My son saw these and wanted them for 5th birthday knight party. I was kind of shocked when they arrived. Knights are size indicated but because the packaging is so small, it doesn’t look like a very impressive gift. That being said, he’s had them for almost 5 months and still enjoys playing with them and Likes that they are so small. I ended up putting them on the cake and bought him the full size Papo knights as one of his gifts which he also loves. These small ones have so much detail and we don’t have any problems standing them up on flat surface. My son didn’t mind not all knights have horses. In the end, it was worth what I paid and we’ve been very satisfied with the quality.

This tub blows the Safari tubes out of the water in my opinion. I am very satisfied with them, and have used them to make tabletop miniatures for roleplaying games such as D&D and Pathfinder. The scale on the miniatures is perfect to near perfect, though some of them are a bit off for what they represent. The paints jobs are mostly great though a few are lacking. One real pro for these figures is that their weapons are completely removable, making weapons swaps among them or with any other bits you have around really simple and a lot less work.Here's a break down of the figures inside and what they might be good for.- The hooded black knight is the best of them all. He looks imposing mounted and unmounted and makes a great blackguard/death knight. The paintjob is excellent. He stands just a smidge taller than the standard 28mm figure, which makes him even more menacing.- The red horned knight comes with a matching horse. The horse is excellent, but the red on the knight is a tad dull. He also looks better mounted than on foot.- The black and gold knight is excellent looking and so is his matching mount. His armor looks splendid and well detailed, and he'd be perfect as a champion or even a paladin.- There is a hooded skeleton pirate whith a large scimitar and flintlock. I removed his flintlock and gave him the dagger from the Minotaur. I also mounted him on the hooded knight's horse, since he fits on it. He's a little taller than the standard 28mm skeleton, and his legs are to far spread to fit comfortably on a 1 inch base.- There is another skeleton who comes with a halberd. I don't like him, as he looks flimsy and his hands are overly large compared to the rest of his proportions. If anything, chop him up and use him for parts. Easily my least favorite.- The Cerberus is really cool, has a simple but effective paint job, and fits on a large base very well. He can be a great hellhound or other similar creature.- The ghost is very big and looks silly. I have yet to find a use for him. I am debating making him a wraith by painting him black and adding some detail. But I still like him more than the skeleton.- The Minotaur is a bit small, but effective. He is nicely armored, and his war hammer is well designed and looks like it could do some damage. He does have a chest plate, but it is painted brown and blends into his skin, making it barely noticeable. You can paint it to give him more armor, or just leave it unpainted and it'll look like his bare chest.- Lastly the orc I originally though was really lame. He looks very goody and his staff is out of place. He is also way too big to be an orc. However, I found the solution of repainting him as a troll, in which his sculpt is a natural fit for. If you're looking for a budget troll hunter, this might be a good buy.Overall, this tub is a good way to get some cool minis that you could find elsewhere, but probably more expensive individually. The sizes are good enough and you honestly could go without repainting a single one. I bought this tub when it was $15, although I'd wait for it to get a bit lower to truly get your money's worth. As it stands right now, its a good buy, but not the best buy.

A friend told me of these, she's been collectin em fer years! Mainly I love the huge skirts! Definitely fantastic price and delivery time!

I got both Mini Knights and Mini Plus Knights. They look great but the knights and horses in the two sets have different size.

Torn between the high quality and the poor design choice. 12 figures in the tube, 8 knights designed to ride (they only work on horseback, none stand alone) and 4 horses... all knights and horses are beautifully detailed and painted... very excellent work for the diminutive size of the knights (the entire 12-pack tube is little more than 5 inches tall). Another cool feature, all the shields are removable and can be swapped between knights. Sadly, of the 4 horses needed for the 8 knights, only 2 will stand reliably (the two horses rearing up have very stable bases)... the two horses in a forward trot are very poorly designed where the back right hoof needs to be bent at a terrible angle and the forward right hoof is simply too short/high off the ground for two horses to stand reliably... it's a challenge to get them to stand at all, much less longer for a few seconds... oh and believe me, I tried and tried and tried and tried all sorts of ways to get those two horses to stand... tried every way of bending legs/drapes i could think of to form a solid base... no go... it pretty much means you get 8 knights that need horses and only 2 horses to go around with this pack. That means out of a 12-pack, you're lucky if you get anything beyond two knights (on horseback) at a time to stand on their own... a big drawback to an otherwise beautiful pack of figures.

High quality super tiny collectible toy. My 7 yr old son plays with this frequency, and will likely keep it for many years to come. Packaging was terrible. Purchasers will have to find their own box for storage or gifting.

Granddaughter loves it

I was really impressed with these. They are SMALL but quite detailed and a nice assortment of creatures, horses and their riders. Very well made for their size. Everyone stood though the Minotaur was a bit tippy. They have some removable weapons. I put a pen, keyboard and mouse in the pic for scale. They are durable enough for appropriate play but we plan to use them as gameboard characters

Todo genial pero mal acamodo del ogro lastimó una parte de esta figura.

These are small and not all of them stand so well, if at all, but the kids get good play value from them. It's a good brand. Not cheap but at least they are not junk like too much of the cheap crap on Amazon.

Die Qualität und Standfestigkeit haben mich überzeugt

I'm making a little castle for my grandaughter and these little figures are perfect for it. They all stand quite easily and even the detail on faces is sweet.
