2025 Castle [wishlist/speculation]

[Black Falcon]

I think the figures clearly got inspired by their design of the D&D Paladin, which is great, since it should be a lot easier to get this torsos than it was for the Paladin ;) All in all it looks great. 

@zoth33 seems like we both were wrong about the shields, I was right that the moulded shields would be way to big, but that they could have used this piece for it didn´t came to my mind. I am actually quite surprised how good the unicorn/pegasus castle looks. Pretty sure kids will love those.

That castle set looks great!!! I must admit I'm disappointed by the colouring of the Pegasus type foals in the smaller set.

I like the third alternate build - the two towers over the joust area. It looks well proportioned to the size of the set. The primary build itself is not bad but just seems small.

If the candy colors aren't to your taste, you could make a white one with the foal from the 2022 Advent Calendar and the wings from the Cupid CMF.

That was unfortunate, I also forgot that part could be used could be used even if I remembered the heart, but you where right about the size

Not the most usefull no, but great to see the mould in use, easier to include it in other sets then (in a new colour).
A shocking year for Creator in a positive way A new foal unicorn (I wonder if the horn can be removed) and 2 recolours of the normal foal mould. Is the ghost new as well?
How many prints are in the castle set, 7 (2 different horse faction legs and torso, snake faction torso and legs ans 1 civilian torso)? We did not get much more minifig prints in the LKC right?!
In addition to the yellow feather and blue hood

Interesting the snake knight is all black, could mean a raven knight is in the making and they will keep the different

It's not that they aren't to my taste, I think they're fun and cute ( could've done without the eyelashes though) and the pink one clearly wants to take Charlie to candy mountain. However it was disappointing as I'd foolishly expected more neutral realistic colours that would have been more useful in a greater variety of contexts.

The foal from the AC isn't the most readily available, however I do actually have a fair few Cupid wings as I did buy several Cupids for the grecian style torsos for Ithacans .

At least the civilian hasn't green hands.

And it looks like you'd need  at least two Horse Knight sets to close the main build off.

As far as I see it is closed, unless you mean to close the actuall towers ofc.

That's what I meant.
At least, I had the impression the bottom left picture here is the back of the castle.

It is. But yeah, an open back to be played with was what we were expecting anyways, so no surprise to me.

"plus 2 posable horses"
 

 

[Retrocity]

The castle looks better with the full clear images. The minifigures are fantastic. 
 

The Snake Knight torso and legs look really good. I had initially hoped it would be similar to others with the crest on the torso, but I like what they did. It’s hard to tell, but is there a small snake as the belt buckle?

[DonQuixote]

The set looks good. I like this one more than the previous one. It has a living quarter with dining table and a bedroom. The former creator castle only had one chair.

The minifigs look good but I am also a little worried about the white printing on the legs. Lego is bad at doing light prints. Except for CMF. The light printing of the recent Dragonborn Paladin is excellent.

Ha, and one is a unicorn in the joust build!

Plus a sheep. 

I'm unusual as I like the more detailed brick-built animals.  It's easier to color-swap and customize brick-built animals.  I'm curious how the horses look without barding (if they can even lose the barding).

I agree, the minifigures are terrific.  I agree with others that the castle doesn't look as good as the last, but I think the pieces themselves are terrific.

The overall shape of the castle looks good, just the the wall textures with the seemingly random light and dark bleys.

yeah that's an interesting design there.  

Set looks good in my opinion. The figs look great and will definitely try to get multiple of this like the other 3in1.  The alt build look good too.   The figs will be popular on PaB for sure.  

[hikouki]

Snake Knight prints look good!

I wish lego made a black horse on PAB. They only have the beige and the two colors of brown.

Friends 42674 Comic Book and Game Shop has a new purple and gold Pegasus shield along with a cosplayer Elves figure! Another new faction on the horizon? Or the airborne division of the Horse Knights?

To go alongside the mystical division of Horse Knights provided by the unicorn boy cmf.

[Artanis I]

Proper horses really would've made that set.

Probably just a reference to past Lego themes and the Pegasus on the shield reminds me a lot of the one included in this elves Set: 41078 Skyra's Mysterious Sky Castle. Don´t think it is a coincidence that the colours of the shield also match the the ones used in the set. All in all the set is full of references to past themes like elves and classic space (though strange they included another colour instead of one matching to the suit colourwise), as well as recent ones like the 2024 Space plushie.

That will be 130-135€ for you, then...

I’m not too crazy about minidoll-orienteded themes so I kinda hope for minfigure—oriented female-centered theme filled with fantasty creatures.
