Ah too bad. A turning head piece always wins from a non-turning one. A non-turning one is also less useful for figbarfing. 

Indeed & agreed.

I never thought that i’d like the peacock, but that headpiece is cool. Most of the headpieces look good. I hope the croc head isn’t attached to its tail? 
Now all i need is a lot of Fabuland minifig torsos. 
and i think the Cat is white and not tan

You're right. The cat IS white. Didnt see the second slide before, but that pic clearly shows it to be white.  Considering the mask looks like the cat from Series 27 and the yarn ball is the same color, I expect the cat costume will be the same S27 Cat Lover but wearing a disguise 

 

.....

 

Also, in the third slide you can see the croc mask and the tail are molded together

I don’t’ think lack of turning headgear is a big issue. I just like Shark Suit Guy a lot. I could not remember if there is another animal costume fans with no turning headgears that separate from tails in non-licensed series so far?

Lizard suit guy.

That doesn’t count because it has separate headgear and tail, not a single piece like Shark Suit Guy’s.  I was saying that there are so many animal costumes with turning heads so Shark Suti Guy is only the one so far.

The Fish costume from this series will be the same

And I bet the Dolphin one as well

Yeah it ‘s nice to see more single-molded mask+tail pieces1

It’s interesting that there was no space-related minifigure in Series 25 then we got Space Series 26. But we do have animal costume in Series 27 (hamster and Pteranodon), yet we will get Animal Costumes Series 28.  It doesn’t look like it’s same pattern for both special themed CMF series after all. 

Can’t we get Chinese New Year CMF Sereis?!

To be fair, Series 25 and 26 were back-to-back series, while 27 and 28 will be a year apart. It's not quite a straight comparison.

They're already included in the Chinese New Years sets, and get released one at a time. Most of the headpieces even end up on Pick a Brick (though they are quite expensive). I'm sure Lego including them there gets more sales than they would doing them all at once - especially when some of those animals might not be New Year's relevant for over a decade.

That’s very true. Definitely not a pattern for both Space and Animal Costumes, although there will be Seires 29 in May 2026. 

I meant that it would be nice to have a complete Chinese New Year CMF series instead of waiting for a costumed minifigure exceutive to Chinese New Year set annually (even tho we are already halfway to finish the cycle).  But I completely forgot about PaB part!
