Not sure about some of the other names either.  Chili Costume Fan?  Raccoon Costume Fan?  What exactly are they fans of?  The costumes?  Also surprised the Acorn Guy/Forest Spirit got named "Forest Elf."  That name makes me think of something much more classic fantasy oriented, along the lines of LOTR or the series 3 Elf (or series 9 Forest Maiden).  Space Creature is also an odd choice, although I guess they don't have many options left after already using Space Alien, Classic Alien, etc.

Something funny happened with the names there clearly

Girl's name probably is Horse Groomer.....  "Horse and Groom" would mean the girl is actually a crossdresser and is about to marry the foal. They gotta change that

No, "Horse and Groom" is a reasonable name according to accepted use of the words in this context.

[Robert8]

So they actually named the horse first!

I was only joking when I posted this lol

With the new pics, I'd rank the minifgures as follows

12. Foal with girl

I figured I probably missed something without reading the prior posts ... fair enough.

Yeah 'horse and groom' is a bit odd, I'm just going to say kid with pony.

[Lion King]

Agreed. Or at least a Horse Keeper.

I mean, I don’t really care about the ‘official names’, but if you’re gonna call her a groom, then at least give her a brush!

Thanks!! However, I had my own version (WF interpretation) of describing them, but it is great to know their official names now.  

Can we assume your traditional review is coming soon?

Very cool arm printing with the Troubadour

But it almost looks like the mouth is printed over the beard e.e

I'm quite liking the dual molded White/Dark Blue legs, hopefully they'll eventually make the reverse

Someone on brickset said the bard matches the color of the knights of the first yellow castle. That would be a great salute to that set.

Love the bard! Do you any of you guys only collect certain sub themes of the CMFs? I collect historical and city characters mostly

I like aliens and monsters. And occasionally fantasy and costumes

I collect ALL minifigures throughout regular CMF Series. :) I think it’s useful for me to do lego sceneries for photography. Just for fun. :)

Most history/fantasy/horror ones, some sci-fi, lots for parts such as animals and for MOCing:

 

[Karalora]

About the only ones I'm not interested in are the City blue-collar workers and athletes. I started getting into the CMFs in part because I was trying to find characters for my Disneyland-themed MOCs, which made me hunt down a wide range of historical, fantasy, and science-fiction characters, and it just snowballed from there.

I fixed it! (Sorry for the low quality) 

once again I had to use the S17 elf hair piece to complete the look of a CMF.

Looks like NZ toy stores won’t get this until FEB :(

[williejm]

Anyone found these ‘in the wild’ in the U.K. yet?

[The Stud]

FYI, Lego is doing a six figure box of this series like they did for Looney Tunes and Marvel Studios.

I got my first four packs at the Lego Store. Interestingly, they kepy the boxes behind the register. (Presumably to prevent a bunch of people from feeling up the same bags, which is understandable.) I got two of the Bard, the Wildlife Explorer with the toucan and the Racoon Suit Woman. I’m 1/4 of the way done with the series at least.

[BitByBrick]

Besides the LEGO store, have any been found “in the wild”? (US) Thanks.

I saw them behind the counter at a Barnes and Noble today.

I caved and ordered 16 from lego.com on Saturday morning. Not my proudest moment, really.
