Holy Grail Action Figures 99
Jethro writes "Get 'em while they're hot, they're lovely! Yes, finally, Monty Python and the Holy Grail action figures are available! Unfortunately they're quite expensive ($150 for all five, and you wouldn't want to break up the set, right?) Limited edition, too!" Ships in October, but you can preorder now.

Let's hope the fourth one stays up.

From their page:
These 12" figures are based on the characters from the Monty Python comedy 'The Holy Grail.' They have over 20 points of articulation and come with themed accessories which include chainmail outfits, shields and weapons. These figures contain sharp points and small parts and are recommended for ages 5 and up.
Sounds about right. Small parts for 12" figures.

So, when you consider the size of these figures, the price become a little more understandable. And you can find these figure for less than the $150 originally posted.

You know..... *hopes this is not off topic* some friends and I am watched The Holy Grail again last year for the fist time in a few years. An incredible thing occured. The three of us, (who had all seen the film a squillion times) similtaneously noticed for the first time that in the scene you are refering to, there is a man in the background throwing a swallow with coconuts attached to it feet, up into the air.
Whether it was a European swallow or an African swallow, I couldnt tell you.
