Wait, a Girl with Foal is a name of that character officially? 

Not sure we know that yet. 

[Robert8]

The name is probably going to be Horse Trainer or Horse Keeper

[cosmic]

New pics didn’t change much but I think the Snow Warrior looks better the more we see him. Unsure if I will end up getting him.

 

anyone notice how they paired the figures in the promotional images? Wheelchair racer and Figure Skater side by side those are our two sports figures. Chili suit girl next to Raccoon suit woman thats our two costume figures. 
 

next row birdwatcher and foul girl thats our two city figures. Bard and Snow huntsman thats our two Castle figures. Moon warrior and Forest Boy there’s our two Fantasy figures.
 

Finally Snalien next to the Robot and we have our two space figures. They paired the figures by their subgenre in the image that contained them all and I thought that was very neat.

 

This Snalien was such a creative use of parts I’m so excited for him.

Hmm one of the pics shows the paralympic racer STANDING next to the wheelchair

Not really. It’s just showing us the figure In the standard format, and wheelchair users don’t have to be chair-bound all the time.

Agreed with that one.

* pats myself on the back*
Looks like I was right about the husky color change and the minifig head piece on the snailien. 

And why is no one talking about the red “Karen hair “ ?

Not sure why they covered up the moon warrior’s dual-molded arms?the figure looks better when you can see them IMO. 

And the foal and girl must be made to go with that new city set with the horse truck and trailer set.

Overall I think this series is decent enough that I’ll probably get at least two of each for my collection and parts.

Well done,

And on the red hair piece, I’m not talking to you about it, I’ll speak to your manager.

Yes, the horses even has the same colour right?

Is it going to be that useful? To me it is just an existing part in a less useful colour than those that already exist. Maybe if it had been a more natural redhead colour it would have been useful to me as minifig hair but not bright red.

Seems to be, yes.

Agreed - Husky should not go with a horse in that set for sure.

Maybe for a short hair version of a more comic style Black Widow?

Ok, just a question about the snailien. How am i going to find it in a bag. Is the headpiece easily found as a different piece? Or should i focus on the space gun? I think i’ll go try out on series 21 (still here in shops) on the ladybug (i still don’t have that one).

the acorn kid should be recognisable by the dish piece i guess?

The headpiece is rubbery 

[Robert8]

Also, its the only character with 2 headpieces

Oh yeah, that’s true. I hope i won’t damage the ink then

I am afraid that the acorns hat will feel like a minifig head as well

Nah, you’re clearly not an accomplished feeler if you mix those up. 
the good thing about rubbery pieces is that they move about less in the packet, so you can find them that way

I’ll always try to feel them up with my nose as extra handicap. That’s why it’s sometimes harder to pinpoint what’s what. Now it’s extra hard with the covid out there because i have to use a rubber nose piece for hygiene

This is why you get banned from the shops

Apparently, I’ve been doing it wrong the whole time! My big nose will finally come in handy. 

 

Also, this is the like fourth or fifth non-licensed series with the blue packaging (though it is the first with the new style bags). I hope we get another red one next year.

All this talk about blind bags reminds me of this talk on CMFs from Hillel Cooperman. 10 years later, many of these frustrations still ring true...

Brilliant!  Thanks for sharing

The Bard could be a great Dandelion/Jaskier for anyone making their own Witcher MOCs. Hoping that purple space torso means a new Classic Spaceman colour is on it's way soon.
