Insights

Released in 2005 and retired from the Knights Kingdom II subtheme, King Mathias has seen strong historical gains for sealed copies due to post-retirement scarcity and low reissue risk, and it attracts a niche collector base with modest trading volumes that can make performance more volatile than core Castle lines.

Set Facts

It features a figure of King Mathias equipped with a sword, shield, and armor.
King Mathias was the king of Morcia. In Knights’ Kingdom lore, Mathias is the king of Morcia and a rival to the warlord Vladek.
The set is contained in 65776 Knights Kingdom Vladeck & Mathias

“In retrospect, why I picked up these large action figure type sets, I don't know. In comparison to the first wave, the second version of these figures are far better. There's more of a modular snap together build then a Bionicle style build, which I myself prefer this... More modular to the Bionicle style if I'm going to put out money for these types of sets. The body and limbs look better and the shield is plastic, not card board.”
