It remains to be seen if it will be useful for historical MOCs, however, as it might be intended to represent modern bows (since the existing part looks outdated when used for Hawkeye). Quote

It looks like Kate and Hawkeye have two different bows. Kate uses a more classic recurve so I hope that the LEGO version doesn’t look too modern. Quote

As much as I would love to get two new bow moulds in one CMF series, I feel it is more likely that both Hawkeyes use the same part, albeit in different colours. Quote
Sir Dano Posted July 30, 2023 Posted July 30, 2023 Kate Bishop's bow mould isn't new, it's been around for a while now. Quote

That's because it's this piece: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=10258 Well, looking at the image again it appears I need new glasses. My mistake.

That's because it's this piece: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=10258 It doesn't look like that piece to me (and I don't think a compound bow would be screen accurate for her). To me it does look like a new piece that is a recurve bow with rectangular cross section limbs rather than the existing round cross section moulds. Quote

Agreed. Quote
SirBlake Posted July 31, 2023 Posted July 31, 2023 This definitely looks like a new recurve bow with flat limbs instead of the more rounded limbs we’ve gotten in the past. Looks like it could be applicable to historic themes. It’s pretty low res though, so we’ll have to wait to see for sure. A new style lions archer with a new recurve bow in the next regular CMF wouldn’t hurt my feelings. Or maybe in the rumored village set? Wishful thinking on my part. Quote

Edit: they have the same new mould in different color Edited July 31, 2023 by Roebuck better pictures Quote
Classic_Spaceman Posted July 31, 2023 Posted July 31, 2023 Pics of the Hawkeyes are out, and the bow piece is new (same part for both)! It looks good, but too modern for a Medieval setting, IMO. Quote
Wardancer Posted July 31, 2023 Author Posted July 31, 2023 I am actually a bit excited about the new bow. Yes, there is some screw or rivet or something on it (in the hi res leak picture of the box), but I think this could easily be seen as some historic technology. It might look nice with a golden oder silver dot on it. I have never liked most of the custom bows on the market, so this is promising. I hope the next picture does not show some mechanism which is too modern. Quote

But definitely need to see a side picture for an answer to that question. Quote
Wardancer Posted August 1, 2023 Author Posted August 1, 2023 Yes, it does not look too modern IMHO. Quote
Lyichir Posted August 1, 2023 Posted August 1, 2023 Very neat new bow piece! And in two colors! The small owl is quite nice too—much more modestly sized than the larger version and probably easier to fit into a wider variety of trees, rafters, etc. Quote
Wardancer Posted August 1, 2023 Author Posted August 1, 2023 The little owl will be easy to feel. Oh wait… Quote
SirBlake Posted August 1, 2023 Posted August 1, 2023 Hey, this bow looks great! I think it'll fit in with Castle quite well. Crossing my fingers for an upcoming Lion archer with this bow in the future. Quote
zoth33 Posted August 2, 2023 Posted August 2, 2023 That's definitely not a classic recurve bow but I think this will be quite useful for some variety in my armies. Quote
hikouki Posted August 3, 2023 Posted August 3, 2023 (edited) Since Lego is releasing a Space CMF next year, could we one day see a Castle + Forestmen +Viking CMF??? LOL Edited August 3, 2023 by hikouki Quote

LOL If that happens I expect entire series boxes to be sold out and hard to find/get, considering how rabid the Castle fanbase can get. Quote
