Can anyone who has both the Knight of Accord and Lance Steelblade take a pic of Lance's head, shield and loincloth(?) on the Knight body?

I’ve noted previously that the upcoming Male Elf Ranger appears to be something of an homage to the old LJN AD&D Male Elf Fighter Perelay, and bearing that in mind, it seems possible that the heraldic arms of Accord in Boss Fight’s fantasy world might be another reference to the classic Dungeons & Dragons toys, this time to the Female Human Cleric Mercion.
While not appearing on the actual toy (possibly because of the limitations of the manufacturing process at the time) Mercion’s surcoat as seen on the original packaging artwork featured the heraldic device of a Pegasus segreant (on hind legs with forelimbs and wings raised), a device mirrored by the arms of Accord as seen on the shields of the Knight and King figures, which feature two Pegasi combatant (facing each other in segreant attitude). |

Interesting, but I think it's more likely that they're just both drawing from the same small pool of generic fantasy iconography. I'm sure Boss Fight is fully aware of D&D and is not shy about homaging it, but the pegasus sigil is not at all specific to that property. And if they didn't choose a winged horse, it would have been a winged lion or falcon -- something with wings. The options for an iconic fantasy coat of arms are not vast.

Oh nonsense; the heraldic possibilities are virtually endless. |

Regardless of whether it's an homage or not, it's time for me to start nagging them about making Elkhorn. Now that I'm getting my male elf, I need to see some dwarf action!

I know they are or were planning on eventually moving on to spacemen, but to be honest, I don’t really care for the designs/concepts they’ve previewed so far and would rather they ran with the Fantasy line for at least a couple more years yet. |
