It looks like the Series 17 LEGO Collectible Minifigures (71018) have started to show up early in some places and we have a first look at the secret Highwayman minifigure that is included with wave. A user named lego_collector_dad has gotten a hold of the Highwayman at LEGOLAND Billund and he shown off the minifigure over on his Instagram page.
He has a black torso with dual molded legs. To complete the look he has a tricorn hat with a bandana, and a cape. The accessories include two Flintlock pistols. I’m not sure of all the secrecy behind it but he appears to be a fairly generic character.

I see this making a great Headless Horseman with a trans-clear headpiece swapped in.
A spoiler warning would have been nice!
Not really seeing the need for a spoiler warning
After 18 years of Star Wars I have something I need to tell you…
Come on! Spoiler warning for a lame minifigure? Really?
I would have liked to only find out the details about this, when opening the pack. I don’t think the purpose of having a mystery figure is to simply have everybody know long before its release anyway.
But whatever, the ship has sailed.
That is actually a pretty nice figure. Too bad I don’t like most of this wave, but I guess I can just get this specifically.
looks like some kind of mix between a pirate and a assasin
Looking at this, it looks fairly generic and bland. I expect the secrecy was simply a test to see whether the idea of hiding a figure would increase sales.
Overall this wave as a whole seems pretty dull – likely it lost out in regards to the CMF’s as the Batman and Ninjago CMF’s probably got more attention.
it’s hard to tell, but his face looks similar to the Frightening Knight from series 15
See, when I go to Google images and look up “highwayman,” I’m greeted by many images of a man astride a horse, with lace details and a bright red or blue coat. A mustache and a mask over his eyes is pretty common, too.
As such, the bland blackness disappoints me. I expected a man straight out of Alfred Noyes poem. This is not worth the secrecy.
bloodborne lego
Bah! Not “Darth Ted” after all – curses!
Nice! I have to get this one!!
The only way for this to be a mystery is for people with no Internet access, very young children, or buyers who only purchases LEGO as gifts.
