I ran into an unusual situation today while inventorying Duplo parts. I have
two knight figures which are orphans from any original set components they were
purchased with. One of the two has no set assigned in the Bricklink catalog
- 47394pb084. This seemed rather odd for something produced in the 2000's.

Was this a case of random variants being packaged with sets? I'm really
curious to know the history of this issue and the series it belongs to, as I'd
never even heard of this series before. I was never seriously into the Lego
Castle sets, but the first-generation Duplo Castle sets look awesome! The one
thing that really sticks out is these knight figures are some of the very few
Duplo characters which don't have a happy expression on their faces. Even
most Duplo animals have a happy expression.

Hi Kris,

I'm curious what these knights look like. Will you please share a picture
of them?

Thank you,

-Mike

Hi Kris,

The Duplo knights in the catalog are:

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?v=2&pg=1&catString=167.9&catType=M


You may notice that the following two figures are identical except for the color
of their hands.

 
Minifig No: 47394pb084 Name: Duplo Figure Lego Ville, Male Castle, Dark Bluish Gray Legs, Blue Chest, White Arms, White Hands
* 		47394pb084 Duplo Figure Lego Ville, Male Castle, Dark Bluish Gray Legs, Blue Chest, White Arms, White Hands
Minifigures: DUPLO: Castle

 
Minifig No: 47394pb020 Name: Duplo Figure Lego Ville, Male Castle, Dark Bluish Gray Legs, Blue Chest, White Arms, Dark Bluish Gray Hands
* 		47394pb020 Duplo Figure Lego Ville, Male Castle, Dark Bluish Gray Legs, Blue Chest, White Arms, Dark Bluish Gray Hands
Minifigures: DUPLO: Castle

47394pb084 may have been used as a variant of 47394pb020.

Here are a couple of other figures who aren't too happy either:

 
Minifig No: 47394pb043 Name: Duplo Figure Lego Ville, Male, Dark Blue Legs, Red Top with Open Collar, Black Hair, VIP Badge
* 		47394pb043 Duplo Figure Lego Ville, Male, Dark Blue Legs, Red Top with Open Collar, Black Hair, VIP Badge
Minifigures: DUPLO

 
Minifig No: 47394pb044 Name: Duplo Figure Lego Ville, Male, Dark Blue Legs, Light Blue Top with Red Tie and ID Badge, Reddish Brown Hair, Beard, Glasses
* 		47394pb044 Duplo Figure Lego Ville, Male, Dark Blue Legs, Light Blue Top with Red Tie and ID Badge, Reddish Brown Hair, Beard, Glasses
Minifigures: DUPLO
