The goat uses the original 2011 mold but in a plain white color without the previous spots, making it a new variation.
Similar Minifigures
Forestman, Medieval Blacksmith figures, and the original 2011 peasants.
Collectibility
Extremely high for an individual CMF; collectors often 'army build' this figure for the goats.

Marks the first return of the LEGO goat mold since the 2011 set 7189 Mill Village Raid.
Interesting Facts
The QR code on the box (visible in image: 6472867/745S5) allowed collectors to scan and identify the contents during the initial launch phase.
Display Suggestions
Ideal for medieval village dioramas, castle MOCs, or farm scenes.
Modification Potential
Excellent for 'Castle' theme purist customs; torso and legs are versatile for many historical characters.
Overall Assessment
A 10/10 CMF release. The 'goat' factor alone makes this the standout figure of 2024 for many adult fans.
