LEGO Collectable Minifigures Future Series Rumours

[Lion King]

I can’t see Pirate CMF series that will have classic figures. Like others say, Space Series 26 has alien tourist, UFO costume fan, android nurse, etc that are not existing in the classic themes, I think. It’s really nice to have a series mixed of “throwback” and new minifigures. I can understand why Space fans were disappointed about Blacktron Mutant and that’s not exactly a throwback. Anyways, i can see Pirate CMF series would have random characters like Pirate Ship Costuem Fan, Ship Collector, Sea Guardian, Fiary Pirate, etc.  I just think automakers tarnish CMF series will appeal both young and adult audiences. Same way wiht Castle CMF series, I woudl instant it includes castle costume fan, zombie king, medicinal historian, diary queen, etc., along with throwback minifigures. i just love the idea of Space Series’ example.

For a Pirates theme, perhaps some "mashup" characters will be best...

For example, Krakens being a seafaring faction albeit officially Castle, can probably have a cameo in that series.

Maybe add in a Viking pirate?

And then maybe a Davy Jones look-alike.

And then some Sirens and a Merman.

Then throw in a Moby Dick costume minifig.

[Lion King]

I would think Caslte CMF ferries be a mix of classic and new minifigures, just following Space CMF Series’ examples. AFOLs would go berserk if there are classic / throwback minifigures to chase after and build army. Maybe Lego already realized when they put Wolfpack Breastmaster and Falconer into the previous CMF series. Meant they would include non-Caslte characters like Viking and ninja since both classic Viking and Ninja themes are part of the “Castle” core. Also, I welcome fantasy and City elements.

I cna’t believe they already released Crocidle Costume Fan without a minifigure hand, just to pay tribute to Capitan Hook… I would vote for Kraken costume fan over Moby Dick one since the Moby Duck is not quite exclty “pirate-y” but I like Moby Brick idea idea for Modular Building’s Bookshop!

[Lion King]

Here is my ideal Caslte CMF series…. 

1.) Lion King (tribute to King Leo)
2.) Bull Leader (tribute to Cedric)
3.) Medvidial Historian with a sword display and a 2x4 tile that ground document on castle
4.) Medvidal Witch a larger and new caudlron and a raven
5.) Castle Costume Fan
6.) Battle Hero with a broken sword and some scars printed across knight’s face and breastplate
7.) Armored Centuar 
8.) Robot Knight 
9.) Brave Man (tribute to William from Scotland)
10.) Fairy Queen
11.) Horse Knight with a tan foal horse
12.) Peasant Kid with a kid goat

if I was the gradient I would throw Viking King and Ninja Master into Caslte CMF series and running other two form my roster.

Thanks for my tribute (9)

Not aimed at anyone in particular, but often when we have chat about themed series and especially Pirate & Castle ‘archetypes’, I think we are missing the fact that the Lego group has moved on from old fashioned gender-based ideas. Like it or don’t, we have now had several castle and pirate themed sets and figures which have upended the old gender divide, and given us, amongst others, female knights, female falconer etc. These days we are (rightly imho) as likely to see female warriors as male ones, which then makes tropes like ‘damsel in distress/princesses’ or ‘Governor’s daughter’ vanishingly unlikely to be in modern or future line-ups.

ThYou are very welcome, my friend!

and I agree with you. Given that we got Lion Knights’ Castle, we had a few female knights (including Lion Queen), it’s really nice to break gender stereotypes.I like diversity in in-house CMF series as well as gender counterparts.

Yeah, I mentioned earlier a female governor and her son could be possible. I don't mind so much if they do female soldiers so long as they don't make the torso gender specific to maximise their customisability. The falconer was great like that, as were all the castle like figures in the D&D set. It is a bit harder with ones like the female barbarian in S25 when they want the 80s movie style characters. But then the earlier male barbarian was not particularly good for an army builder and it doesn't matter too much for one-offs.

Agree re the multi purpose torsos. I’d say the same about needless yellow flesh on display too!

I think everyone in this thread here is aware that every figure could in the end be both genders and if a mermaid is suggested Lego could aswell also make a merman for instance. However, I don´t agree that it makes any of those you mentioned to appear unlikely. Not sure how they would make a damsel anyways, as the only thing really that would make her look like in distress it the enviroment and partly at least her expression, but however they could also take the approach a certain movie did that was named accordingly ;). 

As for the other two, neither a princess, nor Governours daughter are really anything that I would call tropes. Not more than Aristocrat Lady or Unicorn Elf/Princess anyways ;).

IMO the Barbarian torso still works pretty well for male characters too though. But yeah, torsos that work for both genders are surely prefered.

For me, it looks too weird having a male barbarian wearing a leather basque/corset designed to emphasise femininity.

They aren't needless! Pirates used to walk around half naked, see the great Tatooga torso!

There is is room for everything, not all torsos need to be multi purpose, not all minifigs need to be warriors.

I don’t want them all to be warriors. I do want them all to be *fabulous*

Don't we all?

Problem is, the definition of fabulous is a very personal one. Besides, if I only bought minifigs that, imo, where "fabulous" I wouldn't have much of a collection, so I setlle with "good".

Yeah, I don't mind flesh printing on torsos .. if it is necessary. I don't mind topless muscular guys or girls in bikinis or skin showing where a dress style requires it. But I don't like things like this ...

I don't mind the collar numbers so much as they need some details on the figures (samecwith name tags), but the yellow neck makes it unusable for fleshie figures. Plus he would have had a (white) shirt anyway and colouring the neck area white would make it more usable. And there are plenty of similar examples with fleshie print that stops reusability with yellow figures. Luckily, I think LEGO has got better here over the years and similarly with the gendering of torsos where they could be dual use.

Well, but in the end it is a detail that isn´t that obvious on the first sight, and can get hidden by a beard.

I would know to see regualrl CMF series that focus heavily on mythology (Greece-Roman, Norse, Egytpian, etc…). We need gods/goddesses! It also welcomes fantasy creatures like centaur, sphinx, urge, etc. 

We got Cupid but he is not quite waht we hoped for. We got Orion and I think he is more Greek. We got Harpy but it looks ugly.

The harpy was fine for parts, but a total let down as a figure (I’d say the same of the centaur). I had hopes years ago after we got the excellent Medusa, Minotaur & Cyclops  that we’d get regular ‘beasties’ in that vein, but they have been relatively few and somewhat lacklustre 

[Karalora]

The design of the Harpy makes me wonder if she was devised for something specific that fell through, and hastily repurposed as a CMF. That's certainly not what a mythological harpy looked like!

You are right it’s a outl letdown as a figure. I am not a fan of those parts tho. I was hoping that Harpy would have new arm+feathered wing mold Not sure about her hairpiece. 
i do agree with you on Medusa, Mintoaur, Cyclops. I also love faun and centaur figures. Don’t’ get me round but I kidna hope that Minotaur would be a big figure for a set undead of CMF so it would be epic as well as cyclops. 

Anyways, the harpy should reicieve a new treatment, Lego! That harpy feels…cheap.

Great point!

They could have made a new mould for arms with bird wings, similar to the current raised arms with bat wings.

Other than that, perhaps the other biggest fail is the color scheme.

To point out, Pteranon Costume Fan has a new raised-arm mold, not a bat type one. How could Lego do that for Pterandon fan but not this harpy?!

I was bored earlier today and I was wondering waht in-house CMF series would look like in future. Suddenly, it came to my mind. What if…they do a themed in-house CMF series and it won’t be about anything but one thing… Music?? Like they would include a marching band minifigure iwht modled drum or trumpet, a Harper with a Gary, a teenager with an eletric piano board (new “X” Leg mold), a female Scots with bagpiper, a fairytale piper with piper and mouse,  rock king (tribute to Elvis), a woman wiht cabrinet (i forgot how to spell it), a light god with lyre, etc etc??

This is an excellent idea. Allows for a unifying theme but can also be as varied as you like within that. Spaceman with a futuristic instrument, jester with an old timey something or other and so on. I'll see if I can think up a good full series.

This could definitely work well – there are plenty of instruments that haven’t been made yet, not to mention a few that could do with being brought back (the bagpipes, Keytar, etc.). 
 

There’s also the fact that Vidiyo went defunct rather suddenly, and there are several instruments that haven’t appeared since then, plus we know there are parts made for the unreleased sets that have never been used elsewhere.

My vote would be either hurdy-gurdy or serpentine since lute has already been done

I'd love a concertina and a hurdy-gurdy.

Hope I got this right, Oxford dictionary says that concertina in english is... concertina!
