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.

If he's putting my name on any cup of coffee, then he's definitely getting my name wrong.
@Atuin:
From what I've noticed, the spongy capes don't hold their wrinkles the way the starched ones do. They also have heat-fused edges, so they're less likely to end up with tufted edges from fraying. If they _do_ fray, however, I suspect it will happen catastrophically, because it would require a thread to actually snag on something pretty hard, and start pulling it out like William Wallace's guts.

Ugh... That happened to me too, and I never made another attempt, but I really wanted this one!

Organnic kale is an essential ingredient to a good smoothie.
I wish I had one.

And also, he calls trilbies fedoras.

Same here. I will never understand how that drink got to be so popular.

Tea taxes and the fact that it took so long for people to figure out that you could enjoy your caffeine decoffeenated.

Coffee is the second best thing. The best thing is a strong dark beer that has been brewed with coffee.
Like everybody else here, I love this figure. Not only do I wish I'd got one (several in fact), but I also would have bought the Viking village if it had come with this style of Viking rather than the cartoon versions.

Alcohol is another thing I never touch, although for different reasons.
