The Pizza Man, Executioner, Fairytale Cat, Art Restorer, and Qunceañera all have pieces I'd be interested in.  I also like the Rook's shield.

Perfect!

[Digger of Bricks]

Dang, another brilliant series once again @Robert8! So many innovative archetypes that I would've never thought of for a Collectable Minifigure Series!  

Well, my two standout favorites for this series have to be the Art Restorer and the Quinceañera! I'm in love with the latter's hairpiece in particular!   Special mention should also go to the Super Kid and the Fairy Tale Cat, the former being a most novel take on the much needed generic Superhero archetype within the CMS theme. Also, that Executioner and Amusement Park Mascot, rather unsettling if you ask me...  

Looking forward to Series N!!!

Chauffeur is already made. You'll see him at some point    

Sweet!  

[Karalora]

Robert8 does it again! I think the Rugby Player and Art Restorer are the only ones that didn't immediately make me go "Ooooooooh!", and even the Art Restorer has that sweet painting piece. Mrs. Claus looks perfect (the "official" one that came with the Santa's Workshop set has a great skirt piece, but her face and torso are pre-existing prints and they don't quite fit the archetype) and I love the Pizza Guy's mismatched sleeves representing the Italian flag!

[Nerd-with-a-Pencil]

hOLY HECK I love these! The Slime Monster, Orc, and Spooky Doll are among my favorites of your designs, and the Pizza Guy, Super Kid, and Mrs. Santa are delightful as well! I'll get to the bios on them soon as I can.

[JJ Tong (zfogshooterz)]

These looks real good! They do really make me get enthusiastic about the CMF series. The highlight and favs are the Slime Monster, The Rook, Spooky Doll, Fairytale Cat, the Mascot and Lady Justice. They're amazing! More than those mentioned above really do intrigue me in some way, however not so much for the Art Restorer and the Carnival Baker though. Just my two cents.

I also wanted to add (since I did not have the chance to say it then) that I do quite dig Series L too. They're really great figures too! That Calaca is really an awesome highlight for me.

Thanks. Everytime a post a holiday minifigure like Mrs. Santa I wonder what you'll say about it 

Also, there will be more paintings in the future

Ooooooh...  ...should we expect it by early/late January? 

[8BrickMario]

Great group this time around. Following up on your hint and my previous bio, here's the Spooky Doll.

Spooky Doll

"I want to possess your-- no, wait, why are you hugging me? Fear me, you fools!"

Inhabited by an evil entity ready to give you nightmares, the Spooky Doll is all ready to keep you up in terror. She's practically made for it, stitched and dirtied, and glum as can be, with her own little dolly's eye piercing into your soul. She'll move when you're not looking, destroy your property at night, and make you doubt your sanity, and when that's all done, she'll start coming after you, too! Maybe she'll even take you over in the end. It's the perfect racket for supernatural evil! 

But the real nightmare is her own. See, the thing is, people love her! Why? Why do the kids love to give her tea parties and take her on imaginary adventures? Why, every time she's damaged, does she get lovingly repaired with stitches that don't stick out? And how is she supposed to get out and cause chaos when a child is hugging her tight at night? Even if she scares the the parents and finds herself at the thrift store, she finds herself picked up by teens who consider her trendy! 

Perhaps it's time to hang up the towel and just enjoy being a doll. Those imaginary cookies are rather tasty, after all. 

[Ecclesiastes]

Yes, this one please! I'm surprised they haven't made a lamb or sheep yet. Such a perfect animal to use in several themes. Way better than for example a skunk...

[zoth33]

Great job again.  I love the orc, slime guy, executioner, blue boy, lady justice, fairytale cat, rook chess guy, and spooky doll.  So much detail on all of these especially the orc and the spooky doll.  

[Beardless Dwarf]

These are awesome! I've been looking at all the series up to this point and they all are very well thought out. I like how you have kept to TLG's established 'rules' in your own designs. Such as not introducing a brand new piece on every character.

And I admire the thought and detail that goes into each series. The fantasy themed ones are especially cool. Excellent work!

Thank you so much for that bio. I think it's hilarious how no one fears her hahaha.

Thanks. I'm surprised as well a lamb hasnt been introduced. 

The lamb will appear 2 more times in upcoming series

Fantasy minifigures are always fun to do. Thanks for your comments

One may accompany a Lil' Bo Peep CMF, I presume? 

[DarrellBricker]

Another really great series, Robert! Lady Justice, Slime Monster, Spooky Doll, Executioner and Little Boy Blue are all favorites, but the rest are amazing as well! Thanks for sharing!

[InvisibleTimmy]

I love the Lady Justice and Orc figures!

Amazing! Every new series from Lego I get the feeling there's not much more that has not been done, but I'm always proven wrong by you! Both the "Pizza Man" and the "Amusment Park Guy" are awesome and probably the best. I'm still stoked Lego hasn't produced the hat from the Gondolier, here awesomely reused. I love Lady Justice too. Quinceañera's hair and your verison of David's Napoleon are pieces I absolutely adore. Beyond particular cases, I absolutely love your continuous pursue of originality but of fesibility too. Your work is spectacular!  I designed a custom Bowie figure for my latest modular and boy I've learnt to appreciate work like yours better!
