I'm guessing no13 is some realy random object suite guy as someone already confirmed 3 total suites in this series including the butterfly. Sounds interesting!

 

Itaria already confirmed no firefighters on page 7.

The lego fan.

 

Exactly. I'm impressed.

[The lego fan]

Now we're all just going to try to guess the mysterious object suite guy!

What could lego have come up with next?

Ok, here are a few crazy ideas to set us off...

Planet suit guy

Tree suit guy

Lampshade suit guy

Lego brick suit guy

Weird, but you did say it was a weird figure!

Or maybe 'the price will sky rocket' was a pun...Rocket suit guy!

Brick suit guy would be sooo awesome!

[Borex]

Well they make some sort of bricksuits in the new nexo knights wave. So you always can make your own of course.

One clue each day, when I can.

#10: NOT ASIAN

Is this Uncle Sam?

[lifeinplastic]

1) Circus Strongman (M)
2) Butterfly Suit Girl (F)

3) Doctor, Chef & Postman seem the most likely options here although seem a little dull for a collectible figure so would require a new accessory like a rolling pin. (M/F)
4) Skateboarder is the only repeat in Series 1 & 4 but the wording here may imply we thought the Series 4 character would be a different figure at the time - perhaps we thought the 'mad scientist' would be a doctor to match the nurse? (M)
5) Army builders are usually historical or mythological warriors - does a counterpart imply the gender reverse of a figure, if so possibly Perseus to counter the Series 10 Medusa? (M)

6) Hmmm, a female army builder that has been suggested in the guessing game - I'll go with Aztec Princess (as Robert's design is awesome) or maybe a Harpy (F)
7) The wheelchair is probably the most memorable new part although is this too big to be considered an 'accessory'? (M/F)
8) I can't see this being anything other than a Highwayman, especially if there are no pirates. (M)
9) We know it isn't a pizza costume - perhaps ice cream or some sort of fruit and veg (carrot, apple...)? (M)
10) One nationality specifically suggests it can't be something too generic from a region (e.g. an Alpine costume, Andean character, Sheikh, as these represent more than one country). I would guess either a Canadian Mountie or an Steve Irwin type character (with a koala or something to make them specifically Australian) (M/F)
11) Perhaps this could be a teacher to match the Series 5 student and the Series 15 Janitor, or something to do with dance to match the fitness instructor/ballet dancer (F)
12) The only character who you could suggest is historically questionable is "Robin Hood"? (M/F)
13) I also wonder if this is the completely transparent figure, given that many claim this would not be possible to make and would also be very popular for its uniqueness. A centaur is another possibility, given that we would assume it would be too big for a CMF but would also be very popular in the after market. There are not many characters we have not thought of before although I wonder if the 'sky-rocket' comment was deliberately another clue? (M)
14) Difficult to think of a generic character that would be 80s specific that would not be classed as 'licensed'. Just wondering if this is one where we all know it is supposed to be a real person but given a generic name (e.g. Marty McFly - 'Time Traveller Teen'. Perhaps just a generic guy in 80s fashion like him (M)
15) Surely one to please the sci-fi fans. As there was an astronaut recently I am guessing this will be a new alien (M/F)
16) Another animal costume seems unlikely, given we know there will be a Butterfly Suit Girl but 'somewhat related' is a bit ambiguous. I will guess a vet or zoo keeper (M/F)

Hopefully there will be a lot of good accessories, especially the possibility of some new animal moulds, although disappointed there don't seem to be any obvious music or sports figures.

minor changes

[julesvincent]

No 10 or 13 could be a "Lester" Minifig. 

[Seasider]

sorry to drop into a Theme I'm not normally around but came here care of the Batman CMF

 

When i saw the silhouette on the sheet i only thought of one thing ... the bard ... but perhaps that's because I'm British ?

 

he does also appear as a big minifigure in the tube train in the Leicester Square store.

[Loki221978]

what about an angel or a demon? i heard they would never make either of those, but we did get the devil suit kid so who knows. what about a multi-headed monster?

[gedren_y]

12) Arthur of Camelot?

[The lego fan]

Any more clues Itaria?

So excited to see the different guesses. An Aztec Queen minifigure would be amazing.

[jjr_2009]

These clues are awesome! I am definitely going with chef for #3. Chefs have been a LEGO stand-by for a while now--it's only a matter of time before one shows up in this theme.

#9 could be a carrot guy--its easy to imagine TLG doing one. Of course an ice cream character would be fun as well!

And #13 intrigues me (and probably everyone else). I've often been wrong about which figures will end up being popular, so I really have no idea what it could be. It sounds exciting though!

I'm also excited at the prospect of a new character who has something to do with animals. Maybe a birdwatcher?

Hoping for a Lobster costume. Probably won't be it, though.

[Robert8]

After seeing the bag of the LEGO Batman Movie series, I'm starting to doubt the color of Series 17 will be yellow

 

I mean, it's pretty much the same color

[Itaria No Shintaku]

An hint every day I can.

9) Not meat nor fish.

So it must be a pudding, a vegetable, a potato or a fruit.

Ice cream suit guy?

Orange suit guy?

Potato suit guy?

A food costume that is not meat nor fish - so anything vegan like fruit, vegetable or a dessert. Hmmm....

Carrot, Froyo, Ice Cream, Cheese or even Bread like croissant?

[Borex]

I think they'll rather use a straight form. So no apples and oranges, but maybe a corn suit, or a string bean, a pepper, a broccoli or a peanut suit?

You're right.

Straight moulds are easier to make; both banana suit and hotdog suit were long and straight.

I guess ice cream would still be a possibility then.

The lego fan.

P.S. Itaria already confirmed no broccoli though, on page 6 or 7 I think

In that case, something that would be realy nice is a Brazilian dressed in carnival clothes.

Or an African with bongos.

Just my ideas.

3) Hello, I am a town character that is present in at least 25 minifigures since the 80's and I am never been released as a collectible minifigure
 

I suppose this could also be a prisoner too.

[makoy]

For #3, I use the Minifigure Year by Year Visual History book and Bricklink as reference.

Since 80's  I found that we have mostly Doctor (41), Driver (26), Worker (49), Fire Chief/Firefighter (100+), Pilot (60+), Postman (10+), and Chef (30+) in Town/City.

I'm counting Surgeon as Doctor in S6  and Race Driver as Driver in S3. We also had Pilot in S3 and there are so many worker-type CMFs.... Since Postman didn't reach the 25 minifig count, I'll discard it.

So between Firefighter and Chef, I think it is Chef as it is closer to 25 minifig count, and Firefighter was already mentioned not in S17.

Although I am not implying that Chef isn't correct, I'd like to point out that S6's fermale surgeon was not considered a classic doctor when I suggested #3

[Robert8]

Ok, we have a winner!

 

1. Circus Strongman

2. Butterfly Girl

3. Chef
