Figures to go with a wooden castle?

[Twirl]

Hi
I have bought my kids a wooden castle and I am looking for suggestions for princess/knights etc figures to go with it.
What do your kids have? Do you think posable figures are better? So far I have only looked at the melissa and doug pack of wooden figures which I think look pretty dull. I really want the figures to capture their imaginations and make them want to play with them. DD is into fantasy/princess/fairytales and DS knights (or anything his sister lets hime play with, lol). Any recommendations? Thanks

we have got loads of knoghts and dragons from the ELC they are great

Papo knights are fab, mine love them and play with them endlessly.
these and they do a range of fantasy figures too (fairies etc).

Not cheap but really nice detail and (relativley) indestrucible.

Or there's always Playmobil which we also love.

Thanks for your help, those Papo ones look fab, DD will love the detail! I'll check the ELC ones out too. Thanks!
