Basil's brigandine and legs are perfect for army building. It'd be trivial to swap out helmets, heads, and weapons to add variety. If you want to keep the Fright Knight aesthetic, batman capes would be excellent for officers.

The barbarian has some excellent parts for a viking fan like myself. I am excited for this one since old CMF Vikings have become very expensive, and I never had the chance to get them when they were cheap. I'm a casual fan (for now!) on a student budget, so I can't justify the prices. Although the hairpiece and the sword is leaning towards a fantasy barbarian style, you could easily turn this one into a good berserker with some easily found pieces! The face is especially good, since its easy to find grimacing or stern/stoic male figure faces, but not so easy with female ones.

Basil being an undead vampire really fits with the whole necromancer thing you have going with him in your setting, maybe you can incorporate it into the lore?

Hopefully, the next CMF series after the space one is medieval or pirate-themed!

Lego confirmed that they wouldn't ever do paper bags since they can't be "feel tested" too many times or they end up ripping after a few times. That being said, some people use a cheap tool to look into one's ear used by doctors (which you can look into and has a light integrated) to look into a gap that's on one of the corners of the blind boxes. They can literally see the parts and identify the figures 10/10 of times.

I think all three figures are FANTASTIC!!, Basil is the perfection of a classic remake, modernized and more printed without losing the original charm!. The pheasant may be my favourite of the three!, such useful and versatile prints!, I have the forest cap in modern brown so I think I’ll try that out!. The barbarian is also great!, I have some ideas for a clan of warriors living near some lava for my own world but a tale for another time!. The head, legs, arms, and sword are big standouts!, good amount of versatility so I’m excited to see what customs emerge!. Have a great day Goldfyre!, I’m sure we’ll hear from Basil and his undead brothers sooner then later 😉

As a stopmotion artist (though I’m not very good) basil the bat lord would make a FANTASTIC war god or dark magic lord I’m definitely picking this one up and oh my goodness the goat farmer don’t even get me started, the main 3 things: A: the fantastic printing B: the hood and head, although the hood is really basic it just fits so well C: and of course the holy grail of Lego animals the goat, I’m not explaining myself

The barbarian woman is so a reference to Red Sonya!

The fright nights are like the night lords from warhammer

I like how they made Basil a vampire, as I always imagined him as one when I was a kid

My only complaint about the barbarian is that they could've given her dual molded arms. The printing doesn't go all the way around, so it looks odd.

So excited about this series. Basil is freaking sweet.

So lucky! I can’t wait to get my hands on Basil the Bat Lord!

I'm so glad they made a vampire head with a moustache now I can make a lore acurate Dracula. Plus basil helmet will look good for the army im building. I like the barbarian too and the red hair piece

Decided to research the trans-red axe piece when I saw Basil's axe, because I have a Speed champions Mclaren elva that uses them for tail lights. Seems they were only used in a few sets in 2013-2014, 2021, 2022 and now with this CMF. In 2013-14 it was introduced in a couple of Ninjago and chima sets. Six years later, in 2021, the trans-red piece reappeared as the tail lights in the Maclaren elva. The year after that, in 2022, it was again used in a ninjago set. And now with Basil.

@Goldfyre, Thank you for this video! Good to know that the weight identification system works for those three as they are my favourites from this series 😎

Very crazy minifigs. I think the old copper axeheads could be nice for Basil

I got all three of these in my Basil hunt, and they're great. Getting a bunch of medieval fantasy characters was what finally tipped me over the edge into amassing the parts to make one of my D&D characters as a minifig, and now she's nearly complete, just waiting on the hair (mostly because the original piece I wanted to use doesn't fit inside the collar of her armour), and I think causing a bout of Bricklink Irresponsibility is the mark of a good experience with Lego. Basil is overall my favourite, not really a surprise. I personally used both of the arrow pieces for his weapon, so it's very oversized, but that's my inner Bionicle fan and my resultant preference for overly large weapons at work. Besides, he's a vampire now, he can be strong enough to swing around an axe that's taller than he is in one hand if he wants. The red blades on the axe are a bit weird but I kinda view it as a cursed, magical weapon that's tied to his vampirism. The Barbarian's great, her prints are fantastic and the sword is a great piece, and it's always cool to see Lego making more badass lady warriors. She'll fit right in with a Viking village or a bandit pack or a rag-tag band of heroes. The goatherd, I have less to say about. He's very nice, at least. The goat's cute?

The legs of the goat guy would work for a viking merchant

I am looking forward to Series 25. I want the Barbarian Woman. The Mushroom Child and the Gamer. Fright Knight looks across between Batman and Darth Vader.

Amazing video!

The barbarian is perfect for a Simon Belmont minifigure if you change the head.

As long as willa stays away(her ballon and manor with her) im totally loving a fright knight revival

These are so good minifigures I really want to see what will you do with them and how will you make them a part of your world.

I don't mind the translucent red blades for Basil's axe. Classic Basil had his bat sceptre thing with the staff being translucent red so it fits in my eyes. I like to imagine the blades are actually forged out of blood.

I was thinking about using the head with the double chin and black mustache for Basil, as well as using the small beard in black for him.

I agree with your changes to Basil. He’s will be going into the Dark Forest Moc in my Lego Kingdom build.

Glad we got a new goat. Basil is looking good these days! Gotta pick up a couple of those figs.

Love the look of the figs! Not sure If I'll get them tho cause of the random boxes tho 🤷🏼‍♂️

You sound like All Time Scary! A youtuber that does mandela effect and mysteries of the world. Wow

Ive ordered them in my local store. Have to wait until january to get shipped. I ordered 1 basil, 1 barbarian 2 sheppard.... cant wait!

I hope i'll be able to get these figures!

Imho the new Bat Helmet looks nice, but more rough original version of it suited simpler eastern style of Basil's armour mich more. He is/was wearing definietely more utilitarian armour and not sleek ornamented ones. This new Bat Helmet would suit more with old Vladek Armours or Green Dragon Knight's from the Kingdom series than his rough look

I really hope i can find these!

Personally if im able to get the bat lord figure i will try to build an army with the figure as well as changing the head and giving it different weapons

That is some crazy luck wish I’d find them early too

When puttin Basil’s cape on, is it left hole or right hole first

All hail Basil the Batloard

Which helmet makes the updated Besil minifigure look better?

I'm in a very bad state and your video is more than welcome ❤ thank you

I'm definetly planning on getting multible of Basils for warriow woman for my villain army

i got the fitnessinstructor... great for the first i got. i just buyed one so i cant get twins so to say, next week i buy two and see what i get...

The Goat shepherd could be an ally for the Lion Kingdom or the Black Falcons.

wooo, time for get some new swords.

I really like all of the figures, but really wish they had done the printing on the barbarian so that you could swap it with flesh colored heads. Too much yellow in the arms and legs for me to personally use that way, but at least the torso has no yellow in it. A small nitpick since I'm more partial to flesh colored figures as opposed to the classic yellow.

What is the weight for them because I took my scale with me, but I'm not sure 🤔

I like your video

I think I am going to army the fright nights just because of that basil figure

I like the old helmet better, but still new isn't terrible

Some great figs in this series. Already picked up 39 vampire knights, 25 barbarians and 24 goat herders. I agree that the axe isn't that good. I would love to see those big axes that they had in the early 90's castle sets. A vampire has super human strenght so he would be able to weild such a heavy weapon. Btw, do you see a problem with the material used for vampires cape? It feels like paper so im afraid that it will tear easily.

Nice bro lets be honest we need these in sets could be perfect to make an army of peasants and warriors only difference is maybe change faces and accessories etc

I want these but can’t afford them on secondary market

Basil the bat lord!

I still need some basils

I am going to get basil and the warrior on eBay so I don’t spend tons of money trying to find them because of the boxes

The female barbarian has a 8 pointed star of choas. That’s useful for war hammer fantasy.

instead of feel testing the legos for the one I actually want I guess Ill just buy them all and open them and return all the ones I didnt want.

The man with the goat is the best for a peasant farmers for goats or militia

Is there a way to pick out the specific figures like basil when purchasing?

How dose the sheep herders head look on Basil? Because I feel like lego might be implying that the sheep herder is basil before becoming a vampire?

I like blind boxes when I buy them online from Amazon. That’s how I get most of mine actually. But not for retail. Personally I think they should just have some boxes marked for online only.

did you build basils axe backwards?

When does series 25 come out?

I didn’t a have a scale and got three sheep herders and a gamer girl. That’s a ok line up. It could have been worse. When vido was out I got like four or five of the orange Alien. Like three bunny’s. Unlike vido the cmfs can be used on some customs. Vido had blind boxes and are so hyper spffic you basically can’t make customs.

❤

I think Basil was a human and has been bitten since we last got him.

The Bat helmet looks cool, but I think the old one was a bit cooler, because that one looked like a German crested Winged Topfhelm, which I always used for my Teutonic Order Grandmaster Figure. About Basils axe, I completely agree, it’s just not it.

What's the Basil head swap out?

I don't really care about the goat but I NEED that peasant!!! I dont have any peasant. I've got 4 black falcons and 3 dragon masters tho

NO WAYYY

Because the Barbarin lady has a 8 pointed star, she can be used as a champion of chaos and slid into fright knights. Assuming you use demons in your fright knights army.

I don’t like how evil the new helmet looks. What I think made the old helmet perfect. Is how Basil could be a good guy who’s bat themed. Or a bad guy. Personally I’ll see what I do when I get my Basil. But I like him to be mortally neutral. All he wants to do is be scary. While his wife Willow is always trying to invade people and start shit. Also I wish the axe head came in soild red, so I can replay the axe on my Marceline. Btw they need to reuse the wave two vido bass in red.

Could someone pls write weight of these three different figures? Pls! I think it sucks that lego decided to put them in boxes. 😢

What grocery store did you find these in??

I got 4 but no basil the bat lord😭

I'd have loved Basil's edgelord axe if it was bright red like his shirt or dark red like dry blood. Not a fan of the trans red in this context, either. Heck, if it was trans orange like it was made of magical flames, that would also be an absolute edgelord weapon! Being an edgy boy myself, I'm here for it. I was going to say I wasn't sure why they were giving him a labrys as his weapon of choice rather than a longsword, but then I remembered it's the same reason my bat warrior OC uses it, and why Batman was given an axe when he went to medieval Britain with Green Arrow in an episode of _The Brave and the Bold_ - the blades on the axe have the profile of spread bat wings! The earliest hints that Basil might be _maybe possibly_ a vampire were in Lego Racers, where one of the facial expressions you can give his minifigure head if you use it on your own character without a face-obscuring helmet has red eyes and visible fangs. I always chalked that one up to an Easter egg until this CMF came out and basically made it canon.

No one talking bout how he made the vampire axe wrong

I made a lego castle worldthanks to you

When is it coni out ?

I managed to get all three at my local Kroger.

im just going to tear up the packs and take what i want lol the boxes is a total scam

Hi

I have 21 Batlord in my collection, who has more?

Brickfanatics, check out their way of detecting which figure by scanning the QR code. Different for the US and Europe.

First to leave a like

I don’t like how they re made the goat. It bums me out, because my most prized possessions, is now nearly worthless.
