Blackadder is a fantastic series. I like it very much. I even bought a DVD box with all seasons recently. When I was 9 or 10 I built the Blackadder castle and the characters from my Castle bricks and minifigs. I watched Blackadder for the first time as a rerun in the mid 90s.

Nice! I am defenitely put him in my Lion Knights castle. The CMF king  is in my lore King Richard of the Lion Knights. Blackadder and the Sherrif of Nothingham (tax collector of medieval market square) are teaming up to take over the throne. Even if they succeed there is also Robin Hood who will rebel against this take over. I just like to combine different stories and make things up in my castle lore.

Yes!!!

But also the minifig creations and possibilities!!! 

Come to think of it, the Frightening Knight/ Bear faction (CMF Series 15), and Tournament Knight/ Raven faction (CMF Series 20) both did not get follow up minifigs or PAB equivalents.

Yes I love customizing figs.  This will be awesome for us castle fans to make more Knight factions and flesh out our castle worlds with new and interesting figs.

Could you consider some of the Dreamzzz... mini figures in your OWN Castle Kingdoms? 

(for example I just bought small raven and those minifigures are like Castle fantasy world, 5/5)

Yes, and I have plenty of Nexo tiles I even consider useable (which have silver, gold, black or spiked shields to put them in), how silly they may sound. Like Wasp, Scorpion, various colors of dragons, axes , swords , hammers , fireballs etc or something funny like hotdog or chicken. Might not be "classic" , but still official LEGO parts and prints from 2016-2018.

2024 Dreamzz does have those purple/black copies of characters, and 71483 The Never Witch's Nightmare Creatures is a very good figure selection with 3 of them + never witch.

2025 so far has a few cool helmets and epaulets but not as impactful as 2023/2024 tbh. But I would not get the big sets just for the figures like the T rex robot or the 2025 robot.

Yes I use the Neverwitch and Nightmare King parts.  I also use the swords and other pieces.  Some of the good characters have usable prints and I use the dreamlings for making different small characters.

Images of the buildable horses have leaked.

Nice shields, and a new civilian torso.

[Roebuck]

Interesting to see the use of the Zelda shield in Castle.
There is also a leak of a pink foal or a new mould with a horn? If that comes in the unicorn Creator set it must be the biggest animal mould in creator ever and with 6 minifigs in the other one things seem to change and make Creator more useful I would say

There is also some monster fig leaks with a ghost very similar to the classic one from Castle at first glance

[Darth Phallus]

Civilian torso looks like the old pirate brown vest pi054

[MAB]

It looks like I'll be doing a PAB purchase rather than a set purchase.

[Roebuck]

New yellow plumes for the first time as well

[TeriXeri]

That horse logo really reminds me of the horse logo used for Lance from Nexo (which in itself used a rather generic horse logo, but still cool to see a medieval era faction with similar style, as Nexo suggests it's like far-future and they even have old theater play with a Yellow Castle stage, like the "old days".

Not saying Nexo has to be 100% canon (as in a far-future or alternate timeline of Castle), you can think of it what you want, but still cool to see some "missing link" as horse knights did not exist yet compared to all the others.

Are the knights in the witness protection program? I am wondering if there is a new helmet mold? brick built horses aren't too bad. I like that we have a new torso for the civilian . 

[Khorne]

Where can you guys find or see these pictures of the new castle or the new knights?

If you go on Reddit and look at the legoleaks thread

[danth]

How funny is it that we're all resigned to Creator horses being brick built, but the Creator Unicorn Castle was just revealed to have a molded horse?

Thanks!

Even though I'd prefer actual Lego horses, the brickbuilt ones look really good. Cool to see some new factions as well, but too bad the Ravens didn't any new figures. One fig/faction is kind of few. 2 or 3 variants per faction really help to bulk it out.

It's a foal but I do see your point.  You really can't put a fig on the foal anyway unless it's the size of a dreamling from Dreamzzz or something along that line.  

That being said I really can't wait to see official pics now the snake knight looks good and both knights shown have capes too.  Can't wait to see the build too.

Would kinda have been a shame if hey make that new mould and then just use it for a single set.

Yeah, but would bet it will be quite expensive on PAB. Well hopefully they use it again for a castle gwp or something like that.

[BrickJagger]

Really like the look of the Snake Knight especially. That shield combined with the color scheme, the Kingdoms helmet, a cape, and a yellow plume (!) is pretty slick. If only we could see the front. The Horse Knight is apparently in the witness protection program so I will wait to judge until he steps forward to reveal his identity.

The brick-built horses look better than I expected but I'm still not a fan, Creator rules aside. No one is buying this because it's a Creator set, they're buying it because it's a Castle set. The "no minifigures" policy was just as silly until they scrapped it in 2011.

[DonQuixote]

The snake shield looks like an alternate color Superman symbol

No, I think they might have just either been underage at the time of the photo, or their faces are protected health information.

I would tolerate brick-built horses in this case if the part for the said horses are essential to a good alternate build, and since horses are still available on PAB.

The foal is awkward with the Cupid wings.

Well, some Zelda parts gotta show up somewhere else for Lego to recoup their mould investment. Hoping they make more minifigs out of the new torsos from this set.

The Ocarina is already on Pick a Brick, and this shield means two of the molds are non-exclusive. I think that just leaves the Master Sword and hair for exclusive molds - and presumedly some of those will be used in whatever the next D2C Zelda gets next year.

[karrit]

THe Brick Built horses look really interesting but I'd love to get some new molded Black Horses.

Would not be the first time they used a mould only one time and probably not the last

There seem to be a new shield print and a new sword(?) in the dreamzz leak.

Yeah! Black and White horses (possibly grey) are much needed. Hope Lego will add them to some sets soon…
