KNIGHT GS2524)

ROYAL COURT JESTERS

In the fair Kingdom of Costalotta, because late-night television had not yet been invented, there was little to do in the countryside (after the main meal and before the onslaught of sleep). Leave it to our two main funnymen, Jester Letterman (GS2534) and Jester Leno (GS2535), to solve the problem by clowning around the castle, telling amusing stories and entertaining all until bedtime.*

WIZARD (GS4902)

Once upon a time, in the fair Kingdom of Costalotta, there lived a Wizard who was known far and wide as a great magician. Now the Wizard did not live in the castle with the King and Queen, but instead lived in a cave at the base of a mountain some miles away. The peasants who lived in the countryside never went near the Wizard's cave for there were many rumors about the items of terrible sorcery the Wizard kept there. Frightening things such as "The Milk pitcher That Pours Milk But Never Fills A Glass" and "The Bottle That You Put In A Cylinder And When You Take The Cylinder Off, The Bottle Is Upside Down."*

Wizard is an impressive 36 inches tall and comes with a wand... (arm rod).
