This guy’s cool; I wish I would’ve nabbed him when that series was out. He’d make a great custom Rohrrim soldier.
One of the only times I got bag feeling wrong. I mistook the athlete for this guy.
Probably my second favorite C!F I don’t have, second only to his Medieval counterpart from the same series. I’ll get him eventually, but there’s just so much to like about him. The helmet is phenomenal (the printing and the mold), his face print is great, he’s dual molded, has cloth, a real spear, and a great shield. Definitely one of the best CMF’s ever. I can see why he was army built so much. Definitely something I regret.
I definitely got one of these, but I really wish I'd picked up more. I'm not sure why I didn't.

I have two, and still feel the same.
The beard plus helmet kind of looks like the fake beards from Life of Brian.
Historically accurate, it's got no horns!
Lego better hurry up and use that helmet mold for a Dernhelm/Eowyn figure.
Excellent figure, really wish Lego would give us more Viking sets

Exactly what I’ve always thought.
A few weeks ago, I managed to buy one for €7, unopened. Nice catch! One of the best CMF figures.
Damn that helmet rules
This minifigure is loaded with accessories. Beard, shield, helmet, cloak... So good, so very good. I wish I got more than one (I can be very cheap sometimes).
Great fig. Series 20 was n many ways not that great, but this one single-handedly elevated it as a whole.
I like this guy. I appreciate how the helmet is a good fit with or without the big beard, and the same goes for the actual face-print. Although without the beard, it does seem like that faceprint requires some sort of manbun, full sleeve-tattoos, horn-rimmed glasses and a condescending attitude towards the music you, yes you specifically, enjoy. Whatever music you like, this face liked that music before it was cool, and stopped liking it around the same time you started enjoying it.
The owner of that face is very definitely growing his own organic kale, and while he's going to take he's sweet time crafting the perfect cup of artisanal coffee for you, he's also 100% going to get your name wrong on the cup.

So you're saying... it belongs in a museum?
Love that they finally made a more historically accurate viking helmet.
Figure was great, still haven't made up my mind about those spongy capes...
The neck line looks weird (fortunately not on this one) and it feels kinda even more flimsy than the old ones.
