Collectible Minifigures
Year Released
2024; released in the 50th anniversary year of Dungeons & Dragons and coinciding with high interest in fantasy RPGs.
Rarity
Common to Uncommon; distributed in blind boxes, making specific pulls luck-dependent, though it is currently in mass production for its wave.
Head
Unique molded Dragonborn head in Gold/Pearl Gold with detailed scales, horns, and determined facial features; no hair piece needed due to custom mold.
Torso
Pearl Silver plate armor with elaborate printing including a blue and gold tabbard; back printing features strap and belt details.
Legs
Pearl Silver matching the torso armor with detailed knee-plate printing and tassets on the hips; side printing is present to show plating depth.
Accessories
Includes a Pearl Silver kite shield with gold dragon emblem, a blue mace/scepter (shown in image) with a translucent top, and a white candle on a stand (sometimes included in set).
Color Scheme
Primary Pearl Silver and Pearl Gold, with secondary accents of Royal Blue and Trans-White/Clear.
Printing Details
High-density pad printing on 360 degrees of the figure; includes high-quality metallic inks and precise alignment on the torso and leg assembly.
Variants
Standard version features Gold scales; no official LEGO variants exist yet, but community 'mocs' often swap the head for different colored dragon heads.
Condition Notes
Pearl Silver plastic is prone to visible scratches and 'swirl' marks from the molding process; the rubbery texture of the Dragonborn head can attract dust over time.
Estimated Value
New (complete with box/leaflet): $5.00 - $7.00; Used: $4.00 - $6.00.
Price (New)
Retail price of $4.99 per blind box.
Compatible Sets
71047 LEGO Minifigures - Dungeons & Dragons Series; interacts perfectly with 21348 Dungeons & Dragons: Red Dragon's Tale.
Character Background
Based on the iconic D&D 5th Edition race and class; a holy warrior imbued with draconic heritage, typically serving a deity of justice or order.
Design Notes
The head is a brand-new mold for 2024; the armor printing uses a specific metallic sheen to mimic plate mail effectively at a 1:40 scale.
Similar Minifigures
Dragon Knight (Series 18), Black Falcon Knights, and the various Dragon-themed characters from LEGO Ninjago or Castle themes.
Collectibility
Extremely high; D&D crossover figures have a secondary market appeal to RPG players who do not typically buy LEGO, driving long-term demand.
History
Part of the first-ever official collaboration between LEGO and Wizards of the Coast/Hasbro for a dedicated Dungeons & Dragons minifigure series.
Interesting Facts
The shield emblem represents Bahamut, the deity of good dragons; this is the first non-humanoid 'bestial' head mold used in a high-detail CMF knight.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside a d20 die or on a stone-texture MOC baseplate; use a display case with a dark background to make the pearl silver pop.
Modification Potential
Excellent for 'army building' knights; the head can be swapped for a standard human head to create a generic silver knight, or vice versa.
Overall Assessment
A masterpiece of the CMF line; provides exceptional value for the detail provided and serves as a cornerstone for fantasy-themed LEGO collections.
