Description

A ruler in miniature

Knights Kingdom II told its own story of knights, kings and their enemies, and King Jayko is the leader of the realm. At 130 pieces the set is small and centres on one main character rather than a large fortress. That makes it a quick project that can be finished in an afternoon while still offering plenty of detail to play with once it is done. Fans of the line will recognise the name.

Metal tones with gold

The mix of light bluish grey, black, pearl gold and sand blue looks muted and chivalrous. Grey and black stand for metal and armour, pearl gold adds accents on crown and decoration, and sand blue brings a cooler note. Pearl gold was popular across castle sets of this period, and those golden parts are especially interesting today for collectors who look for armour details or ornamental elements. Next to brighter sets of the same era, the cool tones make the king look serious and dignified.

A lot of unusual parts

The ratio of 51 different part types to just 130 pieces stands out: roughly every third element has a shape of its own. Armour pieces, weapons and accessories probably account for much of that, since they shape the character. Building the set therefore means handling many special shapes rather than piles of identical bricks. No minifigures are counted in the catalogue, so the figure comes from the building elements themselves.

Reusing the parts

Castle fans should look through the parts list, because the grey and gold specials slot easily into other medieval models. This page shows every colour and quantity. The “What can I build?” tool tells you which further sets you could assemble from your collection together with the King Jayko parts, for instance small knight strongholds or tournament scenes. Knights, castles and small stories around the kingdom can be extended piece by piece in this way.
