One of the key players was comedian John Cleese as Sir Lancelot.
Sideshow Toys (Collectibles) recreates Cleese who turned in a hilarious performance as the over-the-top knight of King Arthur's Round Table.
The 12-inch, fully articulated figure comes in a full view display box with the figure and accessories secured in a plastic cocoon.
John Cleese shined in the movie and in my opinion he had the best lines and delivered the most outrageous gags and over the top acting. You could tell he was having, “a jolly good time!”
The face sculpt on the figure's face is a dead ringer for Cleese right down to his square jaw, long straight nose, mischievous eyes and dark and heavy eyebrows.
Sir Lancelot comes dressed in neck, shoulders, arms, legs and chain armor cleverly recreated in fabric. Even his feet are covered. It really does look like armor.
He also wears solid cup elbow guards and brown leather gloves.
Lancelot's full body tunic drapes over his shoulders. It has no sleeves. The tunic is split vertically in gray and white with the crest of Arthur (a winged dragon) equally split on both sides.
A large belt with scabbard adorns Lancelot’s waist. It covers a checker board pattern at his waist.
Lancelot also comes with a full body shield also split by gray and white and with the Arthur crest.
A longsword with a gold pommel and wide hand guard and a single arrow with a message tied to it complete Lancelot’s accessories.
Detailing (as always) of the Sideshow figure is spot on with lots of flesh variation of tone, nicely fitted clothing and accurate and realistic looking weapons and accessories.
