“The Knights Who Say Ni demand a sacrifice!”

Now this #SomethingElseSunday, we’ve got Toy Vault Monty Python and the Holy Grail A Knight of Ni mini bobbler!

This week marks 50 years since the film opened in theaters in the United States. The film is being shown in select movie theaters TODAY as a Fathom Event to commemorate the occasion. It’s also screening again in a couple days; see local listings.

While this guy is a bit underscaled next to the Diamond Select action figure line, he physically fits on the shelf better while still requesting… a shrubbery!

There were just a few more figures made for this scarce line of bobbleheads, but the manufacturer smartly only labeled this character as a knight of Ni and not the Knights Who Say Ecky-ecky-ecky- ecky-pikang-zoom-boing-mumble-mumble.🤪

“I move for no man!”

This #SomethingElseSunday, we’ve also got the Factory Entertainment Monty Python and the Holy Grail Black Knight Talking Premium Motion Statue.

Today marks the 50th anniversary of the Holy Grail screening in Los Angeles. Tomorrow marks 50 years since the film opened to the public in the United States. To commemorate the occasion, the film is being shown in select theaters next week as a Fathom Event. See local listings.

This guy scales well with the Diamond Select figure line. It features magnetic removable arms (mere flesh wounds). It also includes a stand that plays 10 lines of dialogue from the film. Fun, detailed piece! Unfortunately, I don’t think the line went any further than this one character.

“Come back ‘ere and take what’s coming to you… I’ll bite your legs off!”

And now for something completely different on this #SomethingElseSunday from the archives, we’ve got the Diamond Select Monty Python and the Holy Grail Sir Robin!

Today marks the 50th anniversary of the Holy Grail screening in Los Angeles, with tomorrow marking 50 years since the film opened to the public in the United States. To commemorate the occasion, the film is being shown in select theaters next week as a Fathom Event. See local listings.

This figure accurately captures the likeness of a 1970s Eric Idle and comes with a comically large shield. His “stand” doesn’t work well to hold the figure, but does play several humorous lines from the film with the press of the grail-shaped button.

“When danger reared its ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled.”

And now for something completely different (again) on this #SomethingElseSunday from the archives, we’ve got the Diamond Select Monty Python and the Holy Grail  Sir Bedevere!

This is another good-looking figure from the line, but Bedevere would definitely benefit from having a bit more articulation. Knees would be nice, as well as elbows, to better hold his shield.

“How do you know so much about swallows?”

And now for something completely different on this #SomethingElseSunday from the archives, we’ve got the Diamond Select Monty Python and the Holy Grail King Arthur!

This was a fun toy line that featured great sculpts and paints on each figure. The figure stands even play dialogue from the film with the press of a grail-shaped button. The downside is that the 7″ line only had one wave of three figures. In contrast, the 12″ Sideshow line featured much more of the cast throughout multiple waves.
