Notes: Derivative product of the Prince Merlin manip, see below. Notes from that manip apply here as well.
Notes 2: Posted for the Merlin 10th Anniversary of the Finale Christmas Eve 2012 by Ladyofthelake on Tumblr.
Tec stuffs (aka Behind The Manip): When I decided that the Merlin's face fitted better, I already had the finished Colin's version, and I didn't want to delete it. But I didn't want to post two twin manips. So I decided to apply some changes and eventually gone for the "why not replace the knights in the background with some of The Knights?".
Unfortunately, only Leon, Percival and Gwaine could be used: Lancelot's and Elyan's pics from the set were taken from a different perspective and didn't work (front/other side - no complete horse head that would need to cover Merlin's cloak).
For some reasons, I removed the sword and the decoration from the chest.
All in all, I believe the Merlin's version is perfect on the face, while Colin is a bit "off". But I like it nonetheless.
