Knight, Dark Blue, Helmet, Cheek Lines

This Dark Blue Knight minifigure is a desirable addition to any LEGO Castle collection, particularly for those focusing on medieval themes. The dark blue torso with gold crown and medium blue quarters offers a unique color scheme compared to the more common red and black knight variants. The cheek lines on the face print give the minifigure a distinct and battle-hardened look, adding to its character.

Collectors appreciate this minifigure for its relative scarcity and the detailed printing on the torso. As a knight, it fits well into various castle displays and MOCs (My Own Creations), making it a versatile piece. The metallic silver helmet is also a highlight, providing a realistic and appealing aesthetic.

This minifigure appears in only two sets, with the most prominent being the retired Medieval Market Village (10193). This limited availability contributes to its rarity on the aftermarket. While not a regional exclusive, the retirement of the sets it appeared in has reduced the supply of this minifigure, making it less common than standard castle minifigures. The production years were limited to the release timeframe of the included sets, further solidifying its scarcity.

The Dark Blue Knight minifigure holds moderate investment potential due to its limited availability and the enduring popularity of the LEGO Castle theme. While not as valuable as some of the rarer licensed minifigures, its value has shown steady appreciation over time, especially as the sets it appeared in have become increasingly sought after by collectors. The Medieval Market Village set, in particular, commands a high price on the secondary market, indirectly boosting the value of this minifigure.
