he appears to be ridding off the cliff in an attempt to fly on a horse :o

EDIT:
I just noticed something, he has a dark forest mans torso so I submit that he has stolen the bat lords horse and is trying to seascape by flapping two large wings while ridding off a cliff while the bat lord tries to stop him from the wrong side :raiseone:

I guess you guys are too young to remember, but the Fright Knights were actually crossdressers.

Actually, I'm pretty dang sure that the torsos were swapped with the heads. The "witch" (warlock!) appears to have dark grey arms, and the female dragon rider has Willa's dress top.

yeah, I noticed that, but there is still a fright night wearing a skirt and a dark forest man trying to fly on a horse :roflol:

I always wondered what's up with the sky in the Fright Knight's lands. Are they like, being permanently nuked, or are they on a planet where the sun is always going down. Or is everything just on fire?

Either way that cavalry is just great, I need to get me some wings and make a battalion of them. Flappy away!

If I remember correctly all old, like eighties classic Castle sets had this kind of sky in these images :)

I think I am too old to know fright knights, it is a Lego I have totally missed, from 1994-2008 have been in a Lego blackout.

Similar ones, always at sundown and earlier than that they were just backdrops. But something looks different about the Fright Knight land. Maybe it's the just the fact that everything featured int he sets was dark, making everything appear darker?

Although I can perfectly understand constant nukes, of course. :)

I think that the Lego designers just took all their crazy ideas and made Fright Knights, I mean that theme has some weird stuff and some lousy building. ~KnightMan~
