Depends dude, how do we contextualise that? Have you got a photographic memory or are you aged and forgetful? ;)

Hmm. I do not have a photographic memory. And I am semi-aged and mildly forgetful.

I can attest to this being fact.

Better pic.

The heck is that??

I'm not sure they are meant to be actual minifigures, right?

They both look kinda lackluster to be CMFs

And the torso/legs printing is the same, just recolored

[x105Black]

Well, they're not terrible.  I'd get them.

I had the same thoughts for the most part. Gray Bear's head seems to use the same eye print pattern as the Panda Suit.

I also find it extremely weird that the belly fur goes down to the legs. Couldn't it have just been on the torso? Either way, neither looks interesting enough to be a complete CMF, and, unless pairs are going to be a theme in this series, we shouldn't get more than one of them.

Indeed it is. There are some grainy pics on Instagram, but they don't reveal much of interest.

They look very Fabulandy to me. Especially the raccoon.

Anyway if they are going to have spraycans, i will be all over them!

I think, if I remember correctly, they are being released 1st April not the usual 1st May.

I hope so for me series 18 is the series that I am most anticipating for next year , batman series 2 is ok and Harry Potter is a Lego theme I loathe so I hope series 18 exceeds my expectations ( and everyone else's )

Since the release date is April, I think the series might be unveiled at the Nuremberg/ London Toy Fair next month

They might but then since its a " special series " the might try to keep it secret for as Long as possible 

i would guess late February/early March

Usually the series that launches in April is less secret than the others, I don't know why, but this sime I believe @1Panda to be right.

I actually think the fall series is the one that is less scret than the others

Series 12 was revealed in the MMO on March, then in a catalog on May

Series 14 was leaked on January

Series 16 was leaked on February

And the January series is always kept with more secrecy than the others. I dunno why

Wasn’t a spidersuit rumoured? One of the new baddies from avengers has a new (very useful) neckpiece with robot arms (i don’t know if they already exist - a bit more bend and shorter) that can be easily reused for a spidersuit purpose. I just hope it’ll be in brown or red (for the sake of custom spidermen), but i totally can see that appear in the cmf series if there is going to be a spidersuit.

I saw that on Instagram today. I do recall a spider suit being on the rumored list, I think the new rig would work well enough for it. As an aside, I think that new neck bracket is gonna be a great piece for modding figures.

I hope they won't use that piece, cause I think it would look way too "mechanical" for a costume.

If they give it a bit more organic arms, it would work probably better?

A smaller version of 15064 would be nice.

Yeah, but i do like the fact that this way he can hold stuff with his extra arms

[K_Tiger]

I'm fine with the gripping "hands" (clip durability aside), but the option for more spider-like legs would be cool. I'm pretty easy on this one.
