Wait a minute... this might a triviality, but I think I see a trend here: series 16 for 2016, 17 for 2017...

Sweet, now we can have a good 20 pages of speculation until we get some actual news

I did notice this but it could be just coincidence.

As for the actual rumour/discussion on series 17, it will be a long wait before actual news comes along.

Someone out there is sure to know at least 1 minifigure planned for this series.

[Amazing Bricks]

Dang, this is early

[Robert8]

I know this is kinda early but we have discussing S17 in the "future series rumors" thread and I think it should have its own thread since is 100% confirmed now.

Also, I expect news soon

Someone out there is sure to know at least 1 minifigure planned for this series.

What do you mean?

[x105Black]

What do you mean?

I'm just saying that there is usually information about these out there long before it is reported here.

Gonna go out on a limb and guess: Series 17 Whale Guy?

I don't think they will reuse the fin arms for the third (regular) series in a row.... but what do I know. 

 

Personally, I think the next costumed character will be a girl, because we got males in S15 and S16

I don't see why not. If anything, I would expect it to be easier to reuse the molds recently.

Who's to say there can't be both..

I meant, the animal costumed character.

But yeah, there could be other food costumed characters, etc...

[1980-Something-Space-Guy]

I'd love it if they made a food suit guy (girl) and animal suit guy (or girl) a thing for all future series. If we see that in this series, that would start being a pattern, I think.

This will the first May release of regular-series figures in 4 years (last one was Series 10 back in 2013), which is really quite exciting! Makes me wonder how early we'll hear news about it...

Costumed figures are a bit expected at this point. As to what they specifically are, food and/or animals... is anyone's guess right now.

[x105Black]

Maybe there will be an inanimate object costume guy.

Maybe they'll finally do a brick costume.

[Lordofdragonss]

I just want a girl in cow costume and Troll/orc fitting to the fantasy era. :3

If she has six udders, I can finally have a Black Adder costume party.  Have her come with a turnip, and Baldtic will be happy.

Now that you mention it, I can't believe they haven't done that already.

I want to add a "trick-or-treater" to that list.

[Blakstone]

Trick-or-Treaters make sense for a September series but I don't feel a desire to have one every series. It would be out of place in May. I agree that the food / animal costume is a full fledged reoccurring them in each series now.

What sort Spring / Summer specific minifigs could be found in a May release though?

I think they've already done most Supring/Summer figures already, at least that I can think of.

[Blakstone]

Our Bride is still missing wedding party members including the Groom, Ring Bearer, and Flower Girl. Weddings are a staple in June. We could also go old school with a maypole dancer. I think those would be more fitting than Halloween stuff for May. It is understandable that September series contain Halloween stuff but I think we need more figures that fit in a Holiday or Winter village setting as well. But May is definitely the wrong time for that.

[GmaBlu]

I like the red jacket for my winter village. That looks like Gepetto, maybe there will be a Pinocchio?

[telaruhn]

Some sort of generic spring/summertime figure like a Gardener would be nice. At least we would finally get a minifigure scale watering can...

Beyond that, it's hard to say. Sometimes figures are released after their holiday or time of year they are supposed to represent. For example, the Series 7 Bunny Suit Guy was released in May, which is right after Easter.

I'd really love a Cupid figure, but it would be better suited for a January series, just in time for Valentine's Day... An Uncle Sam figure would be kind of cool, since we already have Lady Liberty...
