Whatever it may be, I somewhat wonder if that CMF is designed in mind for the new bag size introduced for TLM2 CMS, given how "BIG" it seemingly looks. :shrug_oh_well:

The first one reminds me the giraffe costume...

Based on the color, I'm calling Loch Ness Monster costume. It's a fan of the creature, or else a prankster pretending to be it.

You're most likely right... :wink:

The next series is around the corner, including a circus character, a grim writer with a raven and a costumed minifigure who has been causing a lot of troubles at certain loch...

While I haven't any specific idea for that first hint, the latter two are most definitely Edgar Allen Poe and a "Nessie" Costume Guy! :classic:

 

Looking at the teaser now, I'm guessing that "circus character" @Robert8 mentioned might be the one in the upper left-hand corner. :shrug_oh_well:

Reading your guesses is actually pretty funny. :laugh:

 

That minifigure was made last summer so I didnt know about the new bag size, which appeared this year. 

But yeah that new bag size would be very useful for bigger minifigures like the Series N Flying Man

Huh, interesting. Perhaps all that Dark Bluish Grey is a new cloth element? :shrug_oh_well:

Damn, I'm so desperate for real CMS 19 leaks that I'm over-analyzing yours! :laugh:

Dear reader

Thanks for passing by this thread
Let me introduce you to a whole new wave of ideas for Collectible Minfigures

I needed an extra letter for the alphabet, so I'm going with the spanish one. In spanish we have a letter called Ñ between N and O. So, here we go

NOTE. I'm playing to be The LEGO Group here, so I'm taking the new pieces from Series A to N as already introduced pieces.

Okaaaaay, that Valkyrie at the end just blew me away... :oh:

DAMN Robert, yet another brilliant Series from you all in all, with so freaking many groundbreakers!!! :thumbup: :oh3: Special mention should go to the gorgeously-designed Circus Acrobat, the lovely Southern Belle, that jaw-dropping Valkyrie, and that seriously excellent ADVENTURER!!! I mean, he's absolutely perfect!!! :wub_drool:

Another excellent series! The Valkyrie and Circus Acrobat are beautifully designed, and I'm a sucker for holiday archetypes and monsters, so the Snowman and ghoul are among my faves. The Loch Monster Guy has a perfect expression for his alternate face, and I love the reference to the Supervillain (and perhaps a hint at an upcoming hero CMF?) in the Delivery Guy's accessories.

Thanks @Digger of Bricks

Now you know what was that in the upper right-hand corner: It was the Valkyrie :classic:

 @Nerd-with-a-Pencil

The Supervillain and Super Kid are indeed in those printed tiles. But with short legs it looked kind of weird, so I made him with regular legs.

By the way @Robert8, I noticed you haven't published public Flickr images for this Series yet. Is it already due to Flickr's 1000 free photo limit? :shrug_confused:

Say, are these two utilizing new/nonexistent colors? I don't seem to recognize their base colors in particular.

I do hope we'll be seeing actual Superhero/Superheroine CMFs in future Series as counterpart to the Supervillain! :sweet:

BTW, for as much as I enthusiastically L-O-V-E your Adventurer design, one very tiny complaint I have about it is the color of his kerchief. Given how much brown he already has as a part of his color scheme, a contrasting color such as Olive Green or Dark Red for it instead could've helped. :shrug_oh_well:

- I just forgot to post them on Flickr. Im nowhere near the 1000 photos yet, but once I reach that amount, I'll just create another one. Like Robert8 2.0 or something

- I dont follow LEGO's color palette because Im too lazy for that. That takes some extra time and it doesnt worth it. If these become real, they would need to be "translated" into LEGO's color palette.

- Superheroine yes. But Superhero hmmm I dont know. Maybe

Will the Superheroine be more of a counterpart to the Super Kid trick-or-treater, as opposed to an outright comic book archetype? :shrug_oh_well:

I'm sure I've said this before, @Robert8, but I wish you were in charge of the actual collectible minis.* The only one of these I don't think I'd be excited to get is the Tae Kwon Do fighter, and even then, her trophy has a really cool design. The tan skull for the expy of Poe is so obvious that it makes me wonder why TLG hasn't done it already to represent a weathered old skull. The Acrobat's hairpiece is superb, and overall there are just so many different takes on cultural, historical, mythological, and holiday-related characters that I'm giddy with delight!

* Although maybe in that alternate universe, someone else would be doing this and coming up with the designs we actually have in this universe, and we'd be just as thrilled and wistful...anyway...

I must say, the turnout and response from EB for this Series seems a bit more underwhelming than it has with previous Series. :look:
