Monty Python Holy Grail Knights are representations of the fabulous cast of nutty and classically hilarious characters from the movie, "Monty Python and The Holy Grail". Also referred to as "The Muddy Knights", these small knightly statuettes stand 12" high and are extremely detailed and faithful renderings of the subjects who made that film such a ribald classic. Consistently cited as the Monty Pythin troupe's best work, it is certainly the most-remembered.

As a collectible, I imagine this will increase substantially as time goes on and the actors disappear. The film is such a classic comic masterpiece, that it will undoubtedly maintain a huge audience - perhaps especially in the GB - for decades to come. These are some instant classic statuettes, featuring some of the era's true geniuses of comedy. A book describing each character comes along with this set, with a page dedicated to each figure. For pure mirth, the notion of seeing these on one's mantle says something very fun about anyone who would feature them.
