Knight of the Yellow Castle

"The Knight of the Yellow Castle is a well-executed CMF figure with strong castle integration and a charming series lineup, earning a BrickScore of 71.5, though its 3.81 owner average honestly reflects the blind-bag duplicate frustration that is the perennial friction point of the CMF format rather than any flaw in the figures themselves."

The Knight of the Yellow Castle from CMF Series 23 (71034) earns a Recommended verdict with a BrickScore of 71.5, standing out within the series for its strong castle aesthetic and well-detailed design. Owner ratings are moderately positive at 3.81 out of 5 across 447 ratings, which is notably lower than the single-figure average for most sets, reflecting the inherent frustration of blind-bag collecting where duplicate pulls can sour the experience regardless of individual figure quality.

Where they split: The gap between the 79 percent would-recommend signal and the 3.81 average star rating illustrates a classic CMF pattern: most buyers who get a figure they want are happy with it, but the blind-bag format generates a meaningful volume of low-star reviews from duplicate pulls, pulling the aggregate down regardless of individual figure quality.
