Rarity
Uncommon - While mass-produced in the CMF line, the 'blind box' transition made specific figures harder to find without scanning codes.
Head
Transparent light blue head with printing. Single-sided face showing a skeletal/ghostly expression with cracks. Uses a Pearl Dark Gray knight's helmet with a movable visor.
Torso
Pearl Dark Gray torso with silver plate armor printing, showing a bat emblem on the chest and tattered edges. Dark bluish gray arms and light aqua hands.
Legs
Pearl Dark Gray legs with silver and reddish-brown printing including belt details and knee plates. Features printing on the front of the toes/feet.
Accessories
Includes a Pearl Dark Gray shield with a red bat emblem, a trans-light blue sword (lightning blade), and a trans-light blue flame piece for the helmet plume.
Color Scheme
Primary Pearl Dark Gray with Trans-Light Blue accents, Reddish Brown details, and Light Aqua highlights for ghostly skin.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the head, front/back of torso, and front of legs/toes. The shield design is printed, not a sticker.
Variants
No official LEGO variants of this specific Series 25 figure exist, though it is a modern reimagining of the 1997 Fright Knights theme.
Condition Notes
Prone to micro-scratches on the pearl dark gray finish. Check for clutch power on the thin trans-light blue sword hilt.

Collectibility
High for Castle fans and nostalgia collectors. CMF 'army builders' often seek multiples of this figure for undead knight dioramas.
History
Follows a trend of LEGO reviving 90s sub-themes (Black Falcons, Forestmen, Lion Knights) within the Collectible Minifigure line.
Interesting Facts
The series 25 boxes featured QR-style data codes (scannable) that allowed collectors to identify the knight inside without opening the box.
Display Suggestions
Looks best on a dark grey or stone-colored baseplate alongside other undead or Castle-themed figures under cool/white LED lighting.
Modification Potential
Excellent for undead MOCs. The trans-blue parts are highly sought after for elemental or magical custom builds.
Overall Assessment
A standout figure in Series 25. It successfully bridges the gap between vintage nostalgia and modern printing techniques. 9/10 for Castle collectors.
