Knight (Breastplate on Red) - Red Legs, Neck-Protector

This classic Knight minifigure, with its breastplate on red torso and neck protector, is a nostalgic piece for LEGO Castle collectors. Released in 1987, it represents an early era of LEGO knights, predating many of the more detailed and specialized figures that would follow. Its simplicity and classic design make it a desirable addition to any vintage LEGO collection.

Condition is a major factor for this minifigure. Collectors will seek examples with minimal wear to the torso printing and undamaged neck protectors. The yellow head with the standard grin is also a key element, as are the red legs, making complete and well-preserved figures the most sought-after.

This Knight minifigure appeared in only one set, the King's Oarsmen (6017-1), released in 1987. This single set appearance contributes to its relative rarity, especially considering the age of the minifigure. While not exceptionally rare, it's less common than figures that appeared in multiple sets or were produced over several years. Aftermarket availability depends on finding complete figures from disassembled sets or dedicated minifigure sellers.
