Are there two clowns? One with hat and one with purple hair? They don’t seem that scary :-s maybe the other side of their heads have scary faces. 

Pretty sure they’re only supposed to be scary when possessed. Having them be scary before possession would be redundant.

I thought all clowns are supposed to be scary

I like the lumberjack ghost we've seen, but not a big fan of the new hair/headphone combination for the girl. It's cool that there is a female hair/headphone combo though.

ANOTHER minifig leak...this time it’s Jack in same white hoodie/cap, except with ice blue colour (not red). Interesting though is his skin is the same icy “ghostly” pallor and he has an “uh oh I’ve been gloomed” expression.

I suspect this one is from the Inside the Hidden Side set. Almost makes me think it's gonna be the theme's equivalent to the Upside Down from Stranger Things... (not the set, just the idea of an alternate dimension existing in parallel to the human world that favours a blue colour scheme)

I was thinking the same thing. He looks awesome. I hope we get an unprinted version of that blue hoodie/cap part sometime, it looks great. Also surprising that he’s blue if all the set’s ghosts are red . .

Yeah, it's great to be getting more colours of that cap/hoodie piece. I love the leaked one for the Ninjago character as well. Will probably use it for a custom Jack figure down the line. 

Interesting, maybe Inside the Hidden Side it's red for the dead! And blue for the... *scrambles to think of a word for living that rhymes with blue* goo?

[Fenghuang0296]

I’m just curious about which variants of Jack and Parker are supposed to be the ‘main’ variants. The red jacket for Jack and the fanny pack for Parker are the ones featured in all of the media and promotional material (IE the variants they appear in in the Haunted High School) but now we’re getting a variant of the white hoodie style instead of the red . . maybe it’s just because the difference between red and blue is less striking with the white variant?

Looking forward to seeing more figs (especially ghosts!) leaking in next few weeks. The wave 2 release date is January right?

So, Jack's essentially gone Will Byers eh?

Well Hidden Side did borrow some tropes from Stranger Things, so I guess you could see it that way.

Yeah, the entire theme is like a mashup of Scooby-Doo, Stranger Things and Real Ghostbusters.

But honestly, that's what I like about it. LEGO can take inspiration from other properties, but they still have full creative freedom.

What if Jack dies in the second wave of HS sets and becomes a ghost himself? 

That would explain his light-blue appearance...

Same! I love that it takes nods from lots of different franchises and properties. I do wonder if Inside the Hidden Side might wander too close to Stranger Things' Upside Down though...?

That's gotta be too dark for LEGO! I think he'll just get stuck temporarily in the Ghost World / Hidden Side.

The frozen Jack from the Hidden Side Portal but has been revealed. We just have two more figures before all of them are leaked. Does anyone have a clue what Mr. Elton's skull could come from?

That sounds like what they did to Cole from Ninjago for a season or two.

And feels very new too! Not just like copying. They actually create really “fresh” feeling for theme.

So instead of Red Dead Redemption it's Blue Goo Assumption?

Just kidding. That blue variation looks interesting. Also being a bit of a Pokemon fan the blue Jackbkinda reminds me of the shiny version of regular Jack with the different colors.?

Can't wait to see what the Sets have to offer.

Btw, there were also two minifigs with black torsos and red guitars printed on, one with a welders mask and one with a cap.

Are they from HS too or from City?

Too early to say. I don’t see them lining up with any of the leaked set names, though, they don’t fit in a Lighthouse, Funfair, Subway Station, Stunt Plane or Beach Buggy scenario . . actually come to think of it, the Beach Buggy might have some ‘beach concert’ side builds and a couple of band members as the obligatory possessed civilians so maybe there. 
That said I’m not convinced that they’re different characters and not just one person with swappable headgear. Or a mistake on the leaker’s part.

I've just discovered this! That's amazing. I have a few Ninjago sets but never got into the cartoon series. It's so funny that they killed off a main character and had him as a ghost for a couple of seasons but LEGO claim they don't like to have anything related to death...

Don’t forget the original series had undead skeletons as antagonists.

Well, technically, Cole didn't die, he just got turned into a ghost, because, as far as I can remember, he didn't escape from a some kind of a haunted temple on time.

A few months ago, a White/GitD Parker head leaked (likely from the Hidden Side Portal set), so Jack's blue appearance is probably just how humans look when in the Hidden Side, rather than reflective of his being a ghost.

Oh, I really hope that Jack and Parker both aren’t in the Portal set. I remember hearing it has four minifigures, Jack and three ghosts, I was hoping for that. If both heroes are in the Portal, that means only two ghosts, or worse, only one if it turns out to only have three figures.
