I forgot to post this the other day. I wish they would have made a line of Heroica sets with minifigs instead of the Nexo-Knight stuff. Ninjago turned into a fantasy medieval theme would have been really cool too. So I put the best of both worlds together. I've never watched any episodes, so I'm just going on what the characters look like. Enjoy!!

An interesting idea, to be sure. And good figs. Having seen borh Nexo Knights and Ninjago, I must say that Heroica would be an interesting TV show, but I don't they would have made it due to the fact that space, sci-fi and castle have a much higher fan base than Heroica. Also, early on inthe Ninjago TV show, they introduce technology, so I don't think they would have turned it to fantasy. Please understand that i am not trying to diss you, just clear a few things up. However, the idea is great, and I hope you make more figs and elaborate on this.

Wait a sec! The BrickWarriors Hood mixes with Ninjago masks!?!?
My mind has just been blown.
Also, I love the trans-medium blue sovereign sword. I really hope they make different teams variants like that one.

These guys are suuuuuper slick! I love the knight's shield and trans-sword. Those are my favorite TLG leg print also, so I guess you had me at "Hello" with that one, haha.

Lord Silver - I understand what you are trying to say. I haven't been in Lego's target audience for over 20 years.  I don't hate Nexo Knights, I've just never been a fan of mixing futuristic technology and medieval fantasy (except for He-man). I just would have preferred if Lego would have made Heroica sets and minifigs. I never owned the games. As for Ninjago, I should have said that I'd rather they used medieval fantasy in the first place instead of ninjas. I hope I have the energy to continue the idea. nightstalker - The BW hood kinda "snaps" over the hood. When you remove the head, the hood, head, & mask all come together, so you have to pry the mask off. It doesn't seem to be that difficult though. BTW, he looks great without the mask too. I've talked to Kyle about making more trans-colored weapons with the screen print on them. He isn't planning on doing any more at the moment, but I suggested doing trans-neon green next if he decides to because it is UV sensitive. AK_Brickster - I'm glad you like them. Trans-medium blue is my favorite Lego color, which I've probably said a few times. I own the BF wizard sword also (which is my all time favorite) but decided to use the sovereign sword instead. Bf did a great job on this shield, so I had to get one. I also need more legs like this too. If you'll notice, the arched pauldrons are the original BF silver which is no longer used. I always did like it better. |

I asked BF about that, and he said that they transitioned out because no one was using the flat steel color and that is why they switched to pearl light grey. Even though starting with the Kingdoms Theme, most of Lego's medieval weapons are flat steel instead of pearl light grey. Maybe if a bunch of us prompted BF to restock that color... |

Heck, I'd be happy if BF would use the silver screen print to cover the pearl light gray. Next time I talk to him, I'll bring up the original silver color. |

I'm going to nitpick and point out that the arrow should be resting above the archer's hand, not below it, unless there's a technique I'm not familiar with.

The ranger was getting tired of all the photos I was taking. You can tell by the look on his face that he was getting annoyed. He didn't have the bow and arrow in the ready position which is why the bow is also angled toward the ground |
