High-quality pad printing on the torso (front and back) and the front of the legs. The metallic gold ink is particularly vibrant on this series.
Variants
This is the 'Classic King' from CMF Series 13. He differs from the Series 15 'Queen' and earlier Castle-themed kings by his specific CMF-exclusive prints.

Interesting Facts
The ermine-patterned cape is a direct nod to historical royal coronation robes found in British and French history.
Display Suggestions
Place him on a throne or at the center of the Series 13 lineup. He looks best when flanked by knights or the Series 15 Queen.
Modification Potential
Excellent for 'purist' customs; the torso is highly versatile for creating other noble or historical figures.
