I have been collecting nutcrackers for a great many years and I always wanted the King Arthur Series. I missed out on the Steinbach series of the 1980's but when I saw Merlin I knew I would love the Christian Ulbricht series. MERLIN is absolutely gorgeous, Lancelot makes a nice addition, however, I thought he was blonde in all the stories. I wish Lancelot had more armor (knight in shining armor), and looked a little more friendly but he is a nice addition to my collection. LIFELONG took very good care of me.. shipping was quick, packaging was safe, and when I wasn't sure about Lancelot, they said a return would be no problem.. I did decide to keep him though.. even if he wasn't smiling or blonde.. now I'm ready for Galahad, Percival and Gawain.. Thank you Lifelong.
