It just occurred to me that we could get a Lunar New Year animals CMF series at some point - We already got Halloween, Christmas/Thanksgiving, and a generic birthday/costume party, so LNY is not unprecedented. 
 

I want Day of the Deaf CMF…

I would definitely buy that!

Although I can’t see Lego making 12 new bespoke animal costume moulds??? Or they could repeat past ones?

They do need to repeat the pig costume guy because he was not dressed in a fancy outfit like the others.

Every CMF has new parts (either moulds, prints, or both), so 12 new animal heads should be easy to do; additionally, the parts for the dragon, rabbit, and (possibly) pig still exist.

Pig- done

Rat - done

Ox - done

Tiger - done

Rabbit - done

Dragon - is on the way

so…we will need dog, sheep/ram, rooster, monkey, snake, horse - taht’s 6 animals we waiting. I don’t need pig costume, honestly, becuase I got him off Bricklink. 

However, Zodiac CMF Series sound wonderful. I’m open to new prints!

Snake costume I'm sure will be nightmare fuel

They need to redo that piggy - he has no nice celebration clothes!

I also wonder how they're going to make a snake costume person. LOL

I could imagine one minifigure wiht greenish gra snake headgear with two fangs on the upper side of the opening and a “determined” facial expression. 

But tail piece… Not sure! Of course Medusa’s tailpiece from Series 10 is used as Python’s tail in Ninjago very recently. So…we will see!

I like the restaurant but I am more excited for the dragon, think I might be the only one.

The dragon? I like it too.
