Year Released
2024. This figure debuted in the first CMF wave of the year, cementing the transition to cardboard box packaging.
Rarity
Uncommon. While part of a regular series, the 1-in-12 pull rate per box makes it specifically targeted by army builders and Fright Knights fans.
Head
Dual-sided face print with a pale complexion. One side features a menacing fanged grin, the other a more stern expression. It includes a brand new helmet mold inspired by the classic Fright Knights Basil the Bat Lord.
Torso
Highly detailed black torso with dark red and silver plating motifs, featuring a bat emblem in the center. Includes back printing and silver metallic ink accents on the chainmail.
Legs
Printed black legs with silver armor plating on the knees and toes, continuing the chainmail and bat motif from the torso.
Accessories
Includes a large blood-red plastic cape, a translucent red sword (Greatsword style), and a shield featuring the classic bat logo update.
Color Scheme
Black, Dark Red, and Silver. The translucent red sword and bright red cape provide sharp contrast against the Gothic dark armor.
Printing Details
Exceptional pad printing with high metallic sheen on silver areas. Multi-surface printing across the torso and legs with excellent registration.
Variants
No physical variants exist within Series 25, though it serves as a modern reimagining of the 1997 Basil the Bat Lord (bat001).
Condition Notes
The cardboard box (visible in the image) is susceptible to crushing. For the figure, the plastic cape can develop permanent creases if not stored flat.

Character Background
This figure is a direct tribute to the Fright Knights faction of the late 90s Castle sub-theme, representing a modernized version of the antagonist Basil the Bat Lord.
Design Notes
The highlight is the new mold for the winged bat helmet, which was designed to look more menacing and structurally sound than the 90s version.
Similar Minifigures
Basil the Bat Lord (bat001), Series 19 Fright Knight (col351), and various Castle-themed vampire figures.
Collectibility
High. Anything related to Classic Castle or Fright Knights has high secondary market demand from adult collectors (AFOLs).
History
Part of the first wave of 2024, this figure represents LEGO's commitment to 'nostalgia-baiting' successful themes for adult fans.
Interesting Facts
The QR code on the bottom of the box, visible in the image (220R4), allows collectors to identify the figure inside without opening the box using specialized scanning apps.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside a LEGO Icons Lion Knights' Castle or on a dark Gothic pedestal MOC to highlight the red translucent sword.
Modification Potential
Excellent for custom Chaos Knights or fantasy villains. The helmet and shield are highly sought after for MOC 'army building'.
Overall Assessment
A standout 10/10 figure for the price point. It perfectly balances retro appeal with modern printing standards and is the 'chase' figure of Series 25.
