Minifigure of the Week
by Nic Laflin
71039-3
This week I would like to share 71039-3 Mr. Knight! This is the 3rd minifigure in the second Marvel series of collectible minifigures. Released in 2023. He is probably the newest hero on the list appearing only in 2014! The fish tank is one of my all time favorite printed bricks in 2023.
