Fire within me!
Today we're taking a look back at Bandai of America's short-lived Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog toyline from 1998 with a gallery of Rohan, the Mystic Knight of Fire. This particular figure is from the 5.5 inch Mystic Defenders sub-line and features 17 points of articulation on top of excellently sculpted and painted details. Rohan comes with several weapons, including The Sword of Kells, the Dragon Breath's Dagger, another long sword, a shield, and an ax. Each Mystic Knight comes with a unique shield that can plug into the chest of Pyre, The Fire Dragon of Dare. Overall, Rohan is an example of a 'basic' figure of a toy line done right. It accurately captures the detail and beauty of the on-screen suits while still maintaining a modest level of articulation. Coming with an impressive number of accessories doesn't hurt either. If you were a fan of Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog, or American Tokusatsu in general, I strongly recommend tracking down the Mystic Defender figures.

Always loved Mystic Knights. And it always kills me when I remember that Battle Thunder never happened
But the figure looks great and the show is one of those rare non-japanese based toku that just really really works for me. Lookin' good man!

If I could only get one more thing on DVD from Shout Factory, just one more. It'd be this show.

I'd be with you. I only have a tape that has some episodes on it. I'd love to get the whole thing on DVD.

ALSO, If I recall correctly, that dragon figure was repainted and put in the Power Rangers Mystic Force toyline.
