This is easily the most exciting release of the year for me personally and i can't wait to start making some custom figs with these parts. I'm currently contemplating if i should turn the dragon born faction into a human one by swapping out the heads. September can't come quick enough lol
Literally Wow. I'm more into fantasy so I'm super excited for these individually and as army builders for different factions like dragonborn, eagles, mindflayers, etc haha. Thanks for the video, I don't really know about these releases otherwise 🤣
There is also Lady of Pain(middle one) know from Planescape, and Tasha(girl of left). Yellow skin "elf" is a Gith just like Lae'Zel from Baldur's Gate 3.
As a D&D player. It’s awesome to see so many amazing new pieces. As well as official Lego versions of huge lore characters like Tasha (the witch fig), The Lady of Pain (the spiky helmed fig), and Strahd von Zarovich (the purple cloaked fig)
@@Shoctr I was initially thinking the same thing. But the figure does look very similar to the generic Lich art from 5e. So I wasn’t 100% confident it was Szass Tam
A note for that Dragonborn Paladin: The emblem on the shield is that of Bahamut, the Draconic God of Justice (also the only Platinum Dragon in D&D lore). Honestly seems fitting, especially for a Gold Dragonborn, since metallic dragonborn tend to gravitate toward goodness and justice.
2:11 It's not an elf, it's probably a githyanki race 2:52 This character is Lady of Pain, the powerful and mysterious ruler of Sigil. She appeared in the game Planescape: Torment, for example
I appreciate the corrections. I'm not much of a d&d guy so this is cool to know that they actually took some real characters from the lore instead of just doing all randoms.
The witch is also the Witch Queen Tasha. If you look closer you will see she has the rune mark on her cheek and her book has the same arcane sigils as the chalk board seen in her study. Edit: fix autocorrect
@@Goldfyrealso, the symbol on the dragonborn is that of the good dragon god of justice, Bahamut. A similar dragonborn has a piece of art in the book Fizban's Treasury of Dragons (Fizban being an allias of Bahamut while disguised as a rather eccentric wizard) labelling him as a Dragonborn Champion of Bahamut. The original art has the Dragonborn with a sword rather than a mace, and without shoes (as they are digitigrade). I'm glad they changed it as we already have loads of swords, and had they not given them shoes we wouldn't have been able to use the armour for any other figure.
Oh! That’s right! Didn’t they say that Gith would be in this thing in the set leak? The face design does seem to check out with their Monster Manual entry. Not sure if that makes our bard an Elf or a Half-Elf like I was originally thinking. But yeah, that’s definitely gotta be a Gith of some sort.
The Necromancer is Szazz Tam, the oldest and most powerful of the Red Wizards of Thay from Forgotten Realms. And the witch is Tasha - I love that she's laughing, perhaps in a hideous way. The grey guy is Strahd von Zarovich, classic vampire and lynchpin of the Ravenloft setting. What a great bunch of characters!
It's great how the hands of the characters are all wearing gloves. This allows you to switch out characters without having to worry about the skin color on the arms.
I can’t wait I just recently started my own medieval village and I was thinking that it was seriously lacking tons of fantasy creatures. So I’m so thankful!
There's this one guy I follow on RUclips, he makes fantasy/medieval armies with Legos and I think he could do a LOT with these. I'd especially like to see him create his own Dragonborn army
I've never touched a Planescape before. I mainly do basic campaigns like Strahd or Baldurs Gate campaigns, sometimes homebrew, though I have been interested. What's it like?
Very excited! I think they’ll make several more. They want to push the idea of people using Lego to make dnd tables. I wouldn’t be surprised if we start seeing whole “build your own dungeon” kits.
Wild that you’re not a DnD guy, you should really get into it! A lot of these figures will be so much more impressive when you know the lore and context
As a DnD Dragonborn sorcererer myself, the Dragonborn head molds are all that I really want rn. I have the green one and am looking forward to th gold and red ones, Def a CMF I’m looking forward to. Great video!
The one with the spikey helmet is not a druid, but the Lady of Pain, the immortal ruler of the planar city of sigil. Several characters, the vampire, witch and lich at least are also specific characters from D&D lore.
also the only problem with getting hearted i was playing fallout 3 and the notification stayed there for 40 mins so it was hard to play but anyways have a good day who ever you are and stay kind
the dragonborn shield will be turned into a faction for sure, already got a few Castle 2013 blue lion torsos on hand to use with them and i hope for a great print under that armor as well
These all look so good! I hope they make more sets in future Sidenote, could that dragon Sheild on the paladin be a possible new faction? I don’t know much about Lego castle so if so,embody could clear this up that would be great
@@MiniMIniMorkGaming Yeah, but Dragonborn are not from Toril originally and do not actually have the historic ties to Tiamat or Bahamut that the native Toril dragons do in terms of colour, so they (in lore) just go for whichever fits them personally. In fact, canonically, most Dragonborn are fervent atheists who do not trust the will of Gods, dragonborn paladins are common adventurers specifically because they are outcasts from their normal society.
The figure with the rat and the king-esque torso/legs is strahd von zarovich king of barovia. The yellow elf is a gith- I'm not sure if they're githyankie or githzerai. I believe the witch is meant to be tasha- an evil sorceress. And the red wizard is well, a red wizard from the official dnd location faerun.
This is a very sweet looking CMF, with barely any duds and a lot of winners. This is the first CMF where I would confidently buy any package blind and always be happy with the result. I don't even like Dungeons and Dragons as much for Lego, but they are all really fun.
I would love if the characters came with stat sheets that you could use with the Lego set if you wanted to make your own story or have new player pre made characters
That would be awesome! or even if it came with a promo code that let you download a mini adventure like they did in the DnD X Nerds (the candy type) promo
for a while now I've been looking for the right torso and legs to make this evil spirit character with a jack o' lantern for a head. I think the torso from the bird character and the legs from the bard would be perfect
OMG the eagle man (one you didn’t mention) is perfect for me. As someone who has been… shall we say repurposing some of my old childhood Lego to create my castle layout as a adult, I’ve been using a lot of Chima, to the point where I want to turn the Chima eagles, the faction that I have the most of into a fantasy race in my world. This eagle figure is an instant bulk buy for me. I will be treating it like certain people were treating the vampire knight. Also the mindflayer looks cool… but as someone with 0 D&D knowledge it does look out of place compared to the other figures when I’m looking at them purely as a “Fantasy CMF pack”. However it would make a killer figure in a Lego space lineup, and if Lego made another Doctor who set that head recoloured would make a scarily perfect Ood (I wish Lego did more with IPs that it still has but never uses like Doctor who and Voltron, but I digress)
These CMF's are amazing! I will be getting many of these. Hopefully Lego does another run of D&D cmf's and sets in the future. Anything castle/medieval is my thing.
Love them! ❤ Surprised there is not a single archer character.. I can only imagine and hope there will be more of these series released with more characters 🤯 *just spotted the bow on the bird dude 😎
New shield prints are always welcome, and the new armor piece for the paladin looks super promising. The third character looks like Strahd von Zarovich (the vampire antagonist of Curse of Strahd). The witch might be Tasha/Iggwilv (of Cauldron of Everything and Demonomicon fame). The lich is probably Szass Tam of the Red Wizards of Thay.
I think an updated Baulders gate build with some of these pieces would be a cool video The bard already looks like Astarion just change torsos/legs And I could see you using the hair piece and tail for your Karlach And now we have a Mindflayer
I also really like that some of these figs are actual D&D characters from books and stuff! so the guy at 1:10 is a vampire lord named Count Strahd von Zarovich. He's pretty much Dracula
I've been a D&D guy since 1979 (yeah, I'm THAT old!) and while I'm not happy with the direction that the game is going in, I'll happily admit that these figures are pretty darn amazing!
The dragonborn's shield is actually the symbol of Bahamut from back in 4e. I know it's not everyone's favorite but I'm always happy to see it getting a shout-out.
1:20 That’s a vampire named Strahd. He’s a popular D&D bad guy. I think you could definitely use him as a Fright Knight leader or something. Idk man, go nuts.
They are a Red Wizard of Thay, an evil and undead disciple of the lich king Szass Tam. If you are intreasted in learning more, you should 100% check out DnD Honor Among Thieves. It requires no prior knowledge of DnD and is all round a great movie.
As a fantasy nut, the Aarakocra, the Tiefling, the DRAGONBORN, and YELLOW ELF ears have me so excited! And I def just want at least one of each for the new prints and accessories
It is DEFINITELY really cool to finally get to see these guys. But it does pain me just how much I’m aware of that you didn’t quite get. In your defense, most of these guys would be unknowns to you, but they are pretty big parts of the lore so I figured I’ll shed some light. Honestly what saddens me more so is the fact that you forgot the Aarakocra altogether. So, your kingly dude, I will say you’re not far off assuming he’s royalty, by lore standards, yeah, he sorta is so I’ll give that one. That’s meant to be Strahd von Zarovich, “A brilliant thinker and warrior in life” (Monster Manual pg 296), now a vampire, lord of Barovia from his home in Castle Ravenloft. He was the Big Bad of arguably the most iconic of all 5th edition adventure modules: “Curse of Strahd”. Next, and probably the only one that actually disturbs me you didn’t know, your necromancer dude. Not far off point once again, but definitely far from the whole truth. That is Vecna, Lich Lord and God of Evil Secrets, arguably the most well known villain in all of D&D - hence his inclusion in Stranger Things (at least that’s my guess on why, even if they don’t have the slightest idea of who Demogorgon actually is). That witch over there is Tasha. Not much more to say than that, if I didn’t know better I wouldn’t have dug very deep into it at all. Your Druid person though… could not be further from the case. To your defense though, Planescape isn’t exactly the most well known setting, sure it’s popular, but the average fan usually hasn’t much of clue on it - at least until the Planscape stuff was announced last year. I’ll admit, I actually didn’t know anything about its existence until then myself, and then promptly started looking into it. That is the Lady of Pain, goddess of the Sigil, City of Doors. The other Druid dude is in fact a Druid though. Last thing, not a nitpick, but I am a proud owner of “Fizban’s Treasury of Dragons” (It was my first core rules extension as a birthday gift one year.) I did happen to recognize the source material for the Dragonborn Paladin on-sight. That is a Dragonborn of Bahamut, god of Metallic Dragons, the design is quite literally a rip right out of its entry in the book, except they gave it a… I think that’s a mace? Honestly, I don’t care what weapon it is, it looks way cooler with that than a longsword. I’ll admit, I AM a bit of a nerd… actually it’s pretty much gonna be my job description and technically already is as a DM. But seriously, I do really appreciate a look at these guys. Thanks a ton for covering it!
I will also be going for a whole box! (preferably more than one) You might like to know that all the characters (minus the named ones and the ones with special heads, so the lich Szass Tam, the witch Tasha, the Vampire Strahd, the Lady of Pain with the spiky headress, the Dragonborn and the Aarakocra (eagle person)) have alternate gender-swapped heads!
@@dragonmaster501 Oh wow, i looked up the references for the figures. I think lego did a good job capturing the characters as a lego figure. I love the Lady of Pain and the Mind flayer .... well creatures? :D
@JorioDotti They really are! Mindflayers are actually cool and creepy aliens that eat the brains of intelligent creatures. They are ultra-intelligent, gaining all memories from the brains they consume. They also have a kind of hive mind controlled by a giant brain called an elder brain. As such, their individual doctorate level intellects join forces. They reproduce by implanting a tadpole in your head, where it eats your brain and then becomes your brain, transforming you into one of them.
I'm already rebuilding my norse mythology stuff into DnD for a few months now, and I'm super hyped about this CMF set. Been a huge DnD fan since I was kid, having played all both the oldschool pc games and tabletop as well. Always dreamt that one day I could build Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter and Icewind Dale from lego. Well, now I started the process with converting my Fenrir MOC into an epic leveled beastmaster's mount and also started working on an airship :)
Man these minifigure will be great for DnD session! That being said, if the players gonna have one, they may want to get extra parts or custom paint/ mold to try to make it accurate to their characters as close as possible!
Most of these are generic class/race combos but i see a few lore characters, Strahd the vampire, szass tam the red robe guy, tasha the wizard with cauldron, lady of pain with the big headdress
In almost every cmf ever there’s also a few characters you get that you are upset to get but here I wouldn’t be mad to get any of these they all look awesome
I am so excited to get the new dragon cmf and I’m probably going to be army building as well and I can’t wait to use some of the new pieces to create some custom figures. I can’t wait for this to come out!
Grey skin guy is probably Count Strahd, a vampire villain from a very popular dnd adventure. The little brain dude with the mind flayer is known as an intelect devourer. The character with the crazy spikey head piece is known as the LADY OF PAIN. She is from Planescape: Torment, a dnd videogame. The "Necromancer" is Vecna, basically the end boss of all dnd. the bird man you missed is known as an Aarakocra, a playable bird race. I am a HUGE D&D fan and havent got any lego anything since I was like 10 years old so I am def gonna grab these.
Like others have said, there are named lore characters: The spiked one is the Lady of Pain The Witch is most likely Tasha, with the eponynous couldron to match. Then there is Strahd, the vampire lord. And the necromancer is a Lich, Szass Tam, who rules over the red wizards of Thay
I think the grey, vampire-looking guy is Strahd von Zarovich, one of the OG villains of DND. And the druid is actually the Lady of Pain, an enigmatic character from the Planescape setting. And I think the witch is Tasha, another legacy character who even has a few spells named after her. Looking forward to grabbing some of these lovelies.
Unfortunately the 'yellow elf' probably isn't traditional lego yellow, it's probably more of a mustard-y color, since they're a Githzarai/Githyanki, basically psychic elves that got stuck in the spirit world for thousands of years. They've got varying shades of green skin and no noses, as well as those iconic marks beneath their eyes. (If you've seen anything for Baldur's Gate 3 on your feed, Lae'zel is a Gith)
Good stuff! Just a couple of notes. The witch is actually Tasha, who IS a witch. But she’s not just a random one. The necromancer is Vecna, who is essentially a god necromancer.
I don't know if the minifigs will be named, but the vampire with the rat is Strahd Von Zarovich, ruler of Ravenloft and D&D's Dracula analog. He's probably one of 5e's most iconic villains, likely due to _Curse of Strahd's_ popularity.
Alright, for anyone who wants to know what exactly all of these are within the world(s) of D&D: 1: dragonborn paladin/cleric (the shield has the platinum dragon bahamut) 2: tiefling warlock (with eldritch blast spell and pseudodragon familiar) 3: Strahd von Zarovich (vampire dark lord of Barovia) 4: Dwarf barbarian/fighter 5: Mind Flayer (with Intellect Devourer) 6: Sun Elf Rogue (not sure what the staff is) 7: wood elf or half elf bard 8: Lady of Pain (the ruler of Sigil, the City of Doors) 9: Halfling Druid 10: Tasha (an Oerthian witch who is basically a demigod or low tier god, who also has her infamous cauldron and demonomicon) 11: Szass Tam (Necromancer, Red Wizard, and ruler of Thay) 12: Aarakocra Beastmaster Ranger Yes, I am losing my mind over this. Yes, I will catch them all. Yes, I have too much free time. Why do you ask?
It seems to me that some of these are pre-existing characters, the vampire is likely Strahd von Zarovich, the witch is Tasha/Iggwilv, daughter of Baba Yaga and an immensely powerful magic user in her own right (reference the barely noticable purple tattoo on her right cheek), the "druid" is the Lady of Pain, one of the most powerful god-adjacent beings in the Forgotten Realms, and the necromancer is likely Szass Tam, long running big bad of the Red Wizards of Thay and background villain in the recent Dungeons & Dragons Honor Among Thieves movie!
These look absolutely beautiful and I will definitely get a few of them…especially with the new molds. While I love all of them, I’m definitely looking forward to getting my girl Tasha the Witch Queen
I love the dragonborn paladin. Especially since hes a paladin of bahamut the platinum dragon god. and every time i made a paladin i have them devoted to bahamut.
This is easily the most exciting release of the year for me personally and i can't wait to start making some custom figs with these parts. I'm currently contemplating if i should turn the dragon born faction into a human one by swapping out the heads. September can't come quick enough lol
Yes all the parts will be so good for customs!😊
Literally Wow. I'm more into fantasy so I'm super excited for these individually and as army builders for different factions like dragonborn, eagles, mindflayers, etc haha. Thanks for the video, I don't really know about these releases otherwise 🤣
@dankujbattles the eagle character is an aarakocra
Just to let you know, the yellow elf is a race called a githyanki
2:13 This is not an Elf, but a Githyanki!
Rip eagle guy in the bottom left corner
Goldfyre forgot that he existed
Jornathan
Not even a bad one either. He looks a bit too birdman to me, but still not a bad one to have. Great looking chestpiece at the very least.
@@FlushedNoob if you know, you know ;)
#JusticeForEagleGuy
He's a aarakicra.
Pretty sure the Vampire figure is Strahd, the Main Villain of the Curse of Strahd adventure
thought that too
It looks like you're right. I'm pretty sure they mentioned that in the original leak but it was so long ago that i forgot
100% Strahd i recognise him on miles
There is also Lady of Pain(middle one) know from Planescape, and Tasha(girl of left). Yellow skin "elf" is a Gith just like Lae'Zel from Baldur's Gate 3.
No its van Riktan
The druid is actually the lady of pain
we got a lego minifigure of the lady of pain before an actual dnd miniature
@@viperthelizard6286 Plainscape FTW
At least she has some rep, she's pretty underrated for a D&D character
Who is the lady of pain
@@powergolemzidk😂
As a D&D player. It’s awesome to see so many amazing new pieces.
As well as official Lego versions of huge lore characters like Tasha (the witch fig), The Lady of Pain (the spiky helmed fig), and Strahd von Zarovich (the purple cloaked fig)
Ha I just saw your comment as I posted mine saying much of the same. Good stuff! Szass Tam looks to be in there too
@@Shoctr I was initially thinking the same thing. But the figure does look very similar to the generic Lich art from 5e.
So I wasn’t 100% confident it was Szass Tam
@@Vyn_HK honestly I think it's Szass since he's wearing red and is a lich.
@@Vyn_HK Isn't the lich from the generic art Szass Tam?
This is the best cmf series of all time. They are all beautiful
ikr! usually i only like a couple from each pack but this one is bangers all around
Yes, so many are good. I didn't like nearly all the space CMF's, but this one has only a few medium ones and a ton of really good figures.
that user name cant have the number four in it bro what the hell
4 good ones not really the best
Lets not get ahead of ourselves its a good series but definitely nog the best

Yeah, aren't chromatic dragons typically evil because their goddess is Tiamat?
@@attackonponyproductions4927 Typically yes, but not all. I see no reason to not make a White Dragonborn who aligns with Bahamut, for example
@@tjsketch7300 well, dragonborn and dragons are different, but I see your point.
The only Winged one, Lendys and Tamara are also listed as Platinum Dragons, but are both said to be wingless.
Just PLEASE do NOT add tails to them. Or else... 🗡️
2:11 It's not an elf, it's probably a githyanki race

We need more D&D sets that cost $100.
Yeah or maybe a character pack that’s kind of inspired by that D&D comedy series on RUclips
The one they have needs to be 200 dollars cheaper

They'd make a killing if they released some smaller $20-50ish dnd sets
The most reusable CMF. No “shark costume guy” every character has multiple valuable generic pieces.
Best ever.
Agreed!
Sure unless u get a box and u only get x1 or two then dupes. Good for army building either way
I agree. Specially for that dragonborn and for Strahd.

Love them! ❤ Surprised there is not a single archer character.. I can only imagine and hope there will be more of these series released with more characters 🤯
*just spotted the bow on the bird dude 😎
New shield prints are always welcome, and the new armor piece for the paladin looks super promising. The third character looks like Strahd von Zarovich (the vampire antagonist of Curse of Strahd). The witch might be Tasha/Iggwilv (of Cauldron of Everything and Demonomicon fame). The lich is probably Szass Tam of the Red Wizards of Thay.
I think an updated Baulders gate build with some of these pieces would be a cool video
The bard already looks like Astarion just change torsos/legs
And I could see you using the hair piece and tail for your Karlach
And now we have a Mindflayer
I really want to get back into the game as i never finished it so i might go for it after replaying some.
I have waited so long for that exact new armor piece
I love that the Bard is basically "Legally Distinct Astarion"
Also, I can see people using the Tiefling's hair mold to make Karlach customs.
Probably the best we could get for castle fig mocs! Can't wait for the HD pics to come and will definitely be grabbing multiples of each!
I LOVE DA BIRB
Definitely turning that into a Chima custom
I also really like that some of these figs are actual D&D characters from books and stuff! so the guy at 1:10 is a vampire lord named Count Strahd von Zarovich. He's pretty much Dracula
I saw a few others mention that and yeah it's really cool that they included a couple of actual characters from the lore
Such a cool line I hope we get more like this in the future maybe more fantasy castle sets would be incredible
Nothing like getting home from school to go to Instagram and seeing this photo and then one of my favorite lego youtubers talking about it
Ayyy i hope you enjoyed the video :)
LETS GO new parts for castle
I've been a D&D guy since 1979 (yeah, I'm THAT old!) and while I'm not happy with the direction that the game is going in, I'll happily admit that these figures are pretty darn amazing!
The possibilities for army building are endless😲
0:57 That baby dragon in grey would be awesome for building decorations in a medieval or neo-gothic build
All the new figures will work amazingly as minis for actual D&D, and i'm excited to use them
COMPLETIONIST WAVE.
EVERY ONE IS A BANGER.
Couldn't agree more
Omg I see so much pirate moc potentional in this entire set 😮 I cant eait to get mysels these cmfs!!
So many custom mini figures I can make the possibilities are endless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I actually really like the Red Wizard and Vampire would be great additions to a Fright Nights Army or Skeleton Army
Yeah! It also looks like the Red Wizard might be Szass Tam himself!
Now we know why lego has become so expensive, because of these beautiful minifigures
The dragonborn's shield is actually the symbol of Bahamut from back in 4e. I know it's not everyone's favorite but I'm always happy to see it getting a shout-out.
That little red dragon might be the coolest piece ever
They look great I'm definitely picking up a few
1:20 That’s a vampire named Strahd. He’s a popular D&D bad guy. I think you could definitely use him as a Fright Knight leader or something. Idk man, go nuts.
The skull wizard in red looks like a character in coco
They are a Red Wizard of Thay, an evil and undead disciple of the lich king Szass Tam. If you are intreasted in learning more, you should 100% check out DnD Honor Among Thieves. It requires no prior knowledge of DnD and is all round a great movie.
Correction, someone pointed out that it might actually be Szass Tam himself
@@dragonmaster501 It is Szass Tam himself.
@@bz6046 It is indeed. And a very good figure of him as well.
As a fantasy nut, the Aarakocra, the Tiefling, the DRAGONBORN, and YELLOW ELF ears have me so excited! And I def just want at least one of each for the new prints and accessories
The yellow elf looks like a githyanki to me. The dots underneath the eyes are pretty distinct.
First persin you call a druid is the lady of pain ruler of the city of plainscape
I am a great fan of DnD and this is absolutely mind blowing
I'm very excited about these as well! I didn't care to spend $360 for the large D&D set, but will for sure pick these up!
100% agree. i would love to buy the dragon from that set used tho. Really great build imo
It is DEFINITELY really cool to finally get to see these guys. But it does pain me just how much I’m aware of that you didn’t quite get. In your defense, most of these guys would be unknowns to you, but they are pretty big parts of the lore so I figured I’ll shed some light. Honestly what saddens me more so is the fact that you forgot the Aarakocra altogether.
So, your kingly dude, I will say you’re not far off assuming he’s royalty, by lore standards, yeah, he sorta is so I’ll give that one. That’s meant to be Strahd von Zarovich, “A brilliant thinker and warrior in life” (Monster Manual pg 296), now a vampire, lord of Barovia from his home in Castle Ravenloft. He was the Big Bad of arguably the most iconic of all 5th edition adventure modules: “Curse of Strahd”.
Next, and probably the only one that actually disturbs me you didn’t know, your necromancer dude. Not far off point once again, but definitely far from the whole truth. That is Vecna, Lich Lord and God of Evil Secrets, arguably the most well known villain in all of D&D - hence his inclusion in Stranger Things (at least that’s my guess on why, even if they don’t have the slightest idea of who Demogorgon actually is).
That witch over there is Tasha. Not much more to say than that, if I didn’t know better I wouldn’t have dug very deep into it at all.
Your Druid person though… could not be further from the case. To your defense though, Planescape isn’t exactly the most well known setting, sure it’s popular, but the average fan usually hasn’t much of clue on it - at least until the Planscape stuff was announced last year. I’ll admit, I actually didn’t know anything about its existence until then myself, and then promptly started looking into it. That is the Lady of Pain, goddess of the Sigil, City of Doors. The other Druid dude is in fact a Druid though.
Last thing, not a nitpick, but I am a proud owner of “Fizban’s Treasury of Dragons” (It was my first core rules extension as a birthday gift one year.) I did happen to recognize the source material for the Dragonborn Paladin on-sight. That is a Dragonborn of Bahamut, god of Metallic Dragons, the design is quite literally a rip right out of its entry in the book, except they gave it a… I think that’s a mace? Honestly, I don’t care what weapon it is, it looks way cooler with that than a longsword.
I’ll admit, I AM a bit of a nerd… actually it’s pretty much gonna be my job description and technically already is as a DM. But seriously, I do really appreciate a look at these guys. Thanks a ton for covering it!
You are right. A whole box it is. I dont know anything about the lore but i could use every piece.
I will also be going for a whole box! (preferably more than one) You might like to know that all the characters (minus the named ones and the ones with special heads, so the lich Szass Tam, the witch Tasha, the Vampire Strahd, the Lady of Pain with the spiky headress, the Dragonborn and the Aarakocra (eagle person)) have alternate gender-swapped heads!
@@dragonmaster501 Oh wow, i looked up the references for the figures. I think lego did a good job capturing the characters as a lego figure. I love the Lady of Pain and the Mind flayer .... well creatures? :D
@JorioDotti They really are! Mindflayers are actually cool and creepy aliens that eat the brains of intelligent creatures. They are ultra-intelligent, gaining all memories from the brains they consume. They also have a kind of hive mind controlled by a giant brain called an elder brain. As such, their individual doctorate level intellects join forces. They reproduce by implanting a tadpole in your head, where it eats your brain and then becomes your brain, transforming you into one of them.
I'm already rebuilding my norse mythology stuff into DnD for a few months now, and I'm super hyped about this CMF set. Been a huge DnD fan since I was kid, having played all both the oldschool pc games and tabletop as well. Always dreamt that one day I could build Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter and Icewind Dale from lego. Well, now I started the process with converting my Fenrir MOC into an epic leveled beastmaster's mount and also started working on an airship :)
I am SO excited for that green druid guy. His parts will look great amongst my custom bear knight faction!
Man these minifigure will be great for DnD session! That being said, if the players gonna have one, they may want to get extra parts or custom paint/ mold to try to make it accurate to their characters as close as possible!
Most of these are generic class/race combos but i see a few lore characters, Strahd the vampire, szass tam the red robe guy, tasha the wizard with cauldron, lady of pain with the big headdress
The red robe guy looks like a normal Lich it’s almost spot on with the monster manual
FINALLY these all look fantastic
That guy will octopus head is a mind flayer
In almost every cmf ever there’s also a few characters you get that you are upset to get but here I wouldn’t be mad to get any of these they all look awesome
I am so excited to get the new dragon cmf and I’m probably going to be army building as well and I can’t wait to use some of the new pieces to create some custom figures. I can’t wait for this to come out!
They all look awesome can't wait to get some of it the day the new Minifigs comes out😎👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🏆🏅
Grey skin guy is probably Count Strahd, a vampire villain from a very popular dnd adventure.
The little brain dude with the mind flayer is known as an intelect devourer.
The character with the crazy spikey head piece is known as the LADY OF PAIN. She is from Planescape: Torment, a dnd videogame.
The "Necromancer" is Vecna, basically the end boss of all dnd.
the bird man you missed is known as an Aarakocra, a playable bird race.
I am a HUGE D&D fan and havent got any lego anything since I was like 10 years old so I am def gonna grab these.
0:26 Those body,leg and armour pieces would fit perfectly for a House of the Dragon Sir Cristan Cole or Kings Guard minifigure.
Like others have said, there are named lore characters:
The spiked one is the Lady of Pain
The Witch is most likely Tasha, with the eponynous couldron to match.
Then there is Strahd, the vampire lord.
And the necromancer is a Lich, Szass Tam, who rules over the red wizards of Thay
I litterally started building a medieval village to fill it with this cmfs. Can't wait !
I think the grey, vampire-looking guy is Strahd von Zarovich, one of the OG villains of DND. And the druid is actually the Lady of Pain, an enigmatic character from the Planescape setting. And I think the witch is Tasha, another legacy character who even has a few spells named after her. Looking forward to grabbing some of these lovelies.
Unfortunately the 'yellow elf' probably isn't traditional lego yellow, it's probably more of a mustard-y color, since they're a Githzarai/Githyanki, basically psychic elves that got stuck in the spirit world for thousands of years. They've got varying shades of green skin and no noses, as well as those iconic marks beneath their eyes. (If you've seen anything for Baldur's Gate 3 on your feed, Lae'zel is a Gith)
Someone got the figure in person….it was just plain yellow!😄
This is probably the first CMF Series were I could buy a box in the store and would not care which one I got. Even the Lich looks amazing.
Good stuff! Just a couple of notes.
The witch is actually Tasha, who IS a witch. But she’s not just a random one.
The necromancer is Vecna, who is essentially a god necromancer.
4:17 That dress/skirt piece looks fab though
Nah bro the fact that my character is a Dragonborn paladin makes me so excited for this
I don't know if the minifigs will be named, but the vampire with the rat is Strahd Von Zarovich, ruler of Ravenloft and D&D's Dracula analog. He's probably one of 5e's most iconic villains, likely due to _Curse of Strahd's_ popularity.
i love the new cmf that is coming they look amazing and goldfyre thanks for the video becuase now i know its real
Alright, for anyone who wants to know what exactly all of these are within the world(s) of D&D:
1: dragonborn paladin/cleric (the shield has the platinum dragon bahamut)
2: tiefling warlock (with eldritch blast spell and pseudodragon familiar)
3: Strahd von Zarovich (vampire dark lord of Barovia)
4: Dwarf barbarian/fighter
5: Mind Flayer (with Intellect Devourer)
6: Sun Elf Rogue (not sure what the staff is)
7: wood elf or half elf bard
8: Lady of Pain (the ruler of Sigil, the City of Doors)
9: Halfling Druid
10: Tasha (an Oerthian witch who is basically a demigod or low tier god, who also has her infamous cauldron and demonomicon)
11: Szass Tam (Necromancer, Red Wizard, and ruler of Thay)
12: Aarakocra Beastmaster Ranger
Yes, I am losing my mind over this. Yes, I will catch them all. Yes, I have too much free time. Why do you ask?
It seems to me that some of these are pre-existing characters, the vampire is likely Strahd von Zarovich, the witch is Tasha/Iggwilv, daughter of Baba Yaga and an immensely powerful magic user in her own right (reference the barely noticable purple tattoo on her right cheek), the "druid" is the Lady of Pain, one of the most powerful god-adjacent beings in the Forgotten Realms, and the necromancer is likely Szass Tam, long running big bad of the Red Wizards of Thay and background villain in the recent Dungeons & Dragons Honor Among Thieves movie!
These look absolutely beautiful and I will definitely get a few of them…especially with the new molds. While I love all of them, I’m definitely looking forward to getting my girl Tasha the Witch Queen
Awesome video !
But just one thing
You forgot to talk about the eagle
I love the dragonborn paladin. Especially since hes a paladin of bahamut the platinum dragon god. and every time i made a paladin i have them devoted to bahamut.
The 'druid' with green star headpiece is Sigil's 'Lady of Pain' goddess.😮😊
U forgot to mention the bird guy who I like the most
