Collectibility
High; fans of the LEGO Castle theme aggressively collect these to build undead armies or nostalgically revive Fright Knights.
History

Interesting Facts
The image shows Data Matrix code '716S4' and '014842' - in Series 25, the larger QR codes like this one (R code) could be scanned by apps to identify the figure inside without opening the box.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on a stone-themed MOC or alongside other LEGO Castle factions like Black Falcons or Lion Knights.
Modification Potential
Excellent for undead paladin customs; parts are frequently used to create 'Chaos Warriors' for fantasy dioramas.
Overall Assessment
One of the standout figures of Series 25 due to its heavy nostalgia factor and high-quality printed shield and cape.
