Next "Adventurers" Theme Ideas
Digger of Bricks replied to Commander Keller's topic in LEGO Action and Adventure Themes
So, it may not be full-on rebirth just yet, but until then... BricksFanz - LEGO Minifigures Series 19 Official Images -
I should also add, I really do love how your Peasant Woman design turned out; and, I initially didn't notice that the Automaton (i.e. the Maschinenmensch) is reusing your custom head mold from Series F's Android! Plus, I just remembered that you've had designs for that Monster Hunter CMF as far back as 2014 from what I'm aware, based upon this suggestion you made:

Damn it Robert, Van Helsing and the Maschinenmensch together in this Series? Indeed, that Matching-Costume Dad is a "costumed" CMF I can get behind...

I would think... low? When I think of iconic automobiles, the Ford Escort certainly isn't anywhere near the top of my list. Not an insult to its quality—I'm sure it's perfectly serviceable—but it just doesn't have the iconic, instantly evocative nature of cars like the Beetle, Aston Martin, Ferrari F-40, or Mustang. To me, it seems like a better fit for the Technic theme rather than Creator, being a rally car and all.

LEGO Collectable Minifigures Future Series Rumours
Digger of Bricks replied to r4-g9's topic in Special LEGO Themes
Well, at the very least, perhaps they're just Build-A-Minifigure exclusive parts? Alternatively, perhaps they're a part of that upcoming mysterious "Leaf" line (set numbers 71360 through 71373), which @TeriXeri had plausibly hypothesised to be a new constraction line, though there's a chance it could instead be another "big bang" theme. -
LEGO Collectible Minifigures Dream Series Game.

So, I take it that the few that have commented here are the only ones who've contributed to the game so far? -
LEGO Collectable Minifigures Future Series Rumours
Digger of Bricks replied to r4-g9's topic in Special LEGO Themes
For those familiar with Chinese mythology and lore, what further archetypes could we see based upon such after Series 19's Monkey King? If they were to go meta, I'd preferably like to see a TLG Set/Product Designer myself. -

As a step up from the exclusive Toy Solider, they oughta do a Toymaker exactly like @Robert8's design from his own Series C, paired with a microfigure Toy Solider as a callback to the previous edition of the book. -
LEGO Collectable Minifigures Future Series Rumours
Digger of Bricks replied to r4-g9's topic in Special LEGO Themes
This has been brought up here previously, but in conjunction with next year's presumed release of Series 20 in line with the theme's tenth anniversary, it's likely we'll be seeing a updated edition of DK's LEGO Minifigures: Character Encyclopedia too for the occasion. Anyone here like to take a gander at what its tie-in exclusive figure could be? -
I see we have a teaser image of the Series in its entirety ahead of its debut!

Like I just pointed out a few posts earlier, the blind-bag model should make inclusion of archetypes with less mainstream popularity not as much of a risk as it would with be for a playset-based model whose contents are disclosed. Plus, on a side note, technically the Collectable Minifigure theme's offerings could be thought of as Lego's answer to Playmobil's people packs for themes/genres they have but Lego doesn't currently.

I'm not sure if they're new prints, but two leaked minifigure variants of Chip and Dale both in Conductor attire (purportedly from the upcoming D2C Disney World Train) have some really nice torso prints for such! A System-based Juniors/4+ Thomas the Tank Engine playtheme that takes after Learning Curve's former Wooden Railway system could have so much potential for Lego nowadays if it weren't for Mattel...

Whether it be intentionally or unintentionally on TLG's part, the whole point of the blind-bag schtick is to piggyback those cult-favorite archetypes onto the popularity of ones that Lego's core demographic would be seeking out instead. Kids don't care about the Series as a whole, just a few figures they may have a particular interest in.

LEGO Collectable Minifigures Future Series Rumours

Well, I wasn't claiming with certainty that was indeed TLG's ulterior purpose for the theme. Rather, it has unintentionally become so for many fans as Lego's product landscape becomes further devoid of archetypical playthemes and genres, thereby making-up for where there isn't. Likewise, in selecting IPs to use for the basis of licensed in-between CMS, it's seems more just to utilize the theme for that same purpose, hence why I often tout Disney as the best umbrella IP Lego has had the Collectable Minifigure theme cover so far, as it can cover characters from films and TV shows that likely couldn't receive the minifigure-based playset treatment at this time presently. Well, to me, comic-based sets from both the DC and Marvel SuperHeroes themes have acted very much in the same way the Collectable Minifigure theme has operated: They both act as vehicles to give fans desirable characters/archetypes with a cult interest by piggybacking them onto characters/archetypes with more of a degree of mainstream popularity. That's why I feel a DC Universe CMS is kinda pointless. We already have such a thing with the playset-based theme. -
