Exactly 15 years ago today, the last episode of The Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog aired on Fox Kids.
Just in case you're unfamiliar with the series, here's the synopsis from Wikipedia: Quote:
The Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog is an Irish/American television series set in a fantasy version of ancient Ireland, created by Saban Entertainment. It was loosely based on actual Irish mythology. The name derives from TÃ*r na nÓg, one of the Otherworlds of Irish mythology. It was Saban's first fantasy series to involve knights, dragons, and wizards and the resulting series was an attempt in doing an original non-Japanese special-effects series rather than adapting from actual Japanese tokusatsu. It aired on the Fox Kids block on Fox from September 1, 1998 and ending on May 7, 1999. A second season entitled Mystic Knights: Battle Thunder was planned, but was later cancelled, and its budget was put towards Power Rangers Lost Galaxy.
Bandai of America handled the toy line for Mystic Knights and produced 5 inch figure of the four main Mystic Knights, Rohan, Ivar, Deidre, & Angus, the fifth, Garret, and the four Evil Lords of Temra. The Knights have stood the test of time and are solid figures, each with intricate sculpt and paint details, a fair amount of articulation, and an impressive accessory account.

God I miss this show. Great gallery as always, but stopping making me nostalgic I do that fine on my own!

Decent, but none of my players really caught the reference. I usually played an angus clone because noone id ever played with ever used a flail so I wanted to be different. I also had 4 npc half elementals with artifact weapons based on them I used for another campaign. wish I knew what happened to those charecter sheets. This was all under 3.5 rules, never played enough 4ed to try a conversion.

A couple of weeks ago, I was at work and someone had returned a Spider-Man Marvel Legends figure, but something was off. I took a closer look and it was Rohan. At the time I had no clue what it was, but now I know.

I have photos of the Season 2 unreleased toys. Concept art, prototypes, and actual season 2 story plans. I will post them sometime this week.
Basically all the knights return, new animal-themed bad guys, and some cool toys that we actually got but were used in other Bandai toy lines. Overall gimmick of season two was knights whose armor transformed into their battle-ized forms, so no need to buy a regular rohan and then a battle fury rohan, instead, his armor converted from normal mode to powered-up mode. Really cool stuff that I wish they made. Some toys made it to actual plastic molded samples with working gimmicks (the knights and a dragon), while others didn't even get past concept art stage (other dragons, animal-themed bad guys). PLEX designed EVERYTHING. Overall this stuff was awesome and I'm bummed we didn't get it. If they ever revive Mystic Knights, I hope they just continue with this stuff. Toys, story and all.
