The Bard could be a great Dandelion/Jaskier for anyone making their own Witcher MOCs. Hoping that purple space torso means a new Classic Spaceman colour is on it's way soon.

That's exactly what I'm using the bard for! As for the Purple Spaceman body I'm going with, he's the villain? I'm just wondering what head to use? (and black helmet of course)

I’m not sure why it’s not still on Lego S@H website yet after we had first-look images…?

[steveholt]

Parts are interesting this series. Lots of useful stuff. 

[Robert8]

Series 22 hasn't been officially revealed, right?

Quite odd since these are supposed to be released 3 weeks from today

[zinnn]

I will probably buy the Birdwatcher for the toucan and her legs - both will be used in my pirates setup :) But maybe it'll be better to bricklink them instead? Will see. Don't care about any other minifigs from this series much...

Well…yeah.

I mean, I don’t see Series 22 on S@H yet.

Perhaps they are going for an official reveal on the same day as the review embargo, like they sometimes do. That was the case for the Boutique Hotel, for instance.

[The Reader]

They have been officially revealed.

Outstanding collection of fun
Children and adult fans can say “Hi!” to an updated, limited-edition range of creative characters, including Bird-watcher, Chili Costume Fan, Figure Skating Champion, Forest Elf, Horse and Groom, Night Protector, Racoon Costume Fan, Robot Repair Tech, Space Creature, Snow Guardian, Troubadour and Wheelchair Racer.

Surprise!
Each finely crafted, highly detailed LEGO minifigure comes in a sealed ‘mystery’ bag with one or more accessories and a collector’s leaflet, making a great little gift that will put a smile on anyone’s face.

The girl with the horse official name being "Horse and Groom" has some ... implications

This is what I was talking about! Thank you for sharing!

“Horse and Groom”?? What? That’s an odd name….

[williejm]

I still can’t work out if that husky is light grey or dark grey 🤷🏽‍♂️

[Lion King]

Hmmm “Robot Repair Tech”? I wonder what kin of head under that helmet?

[AmperZand]

I don’t know if this is widely known but the night protector (moon warrior) has a dual printed head with an open smile on one side and a closed-mouth smirk with frown on the other.

The snow guardian (snow warrior) also has a dual printed head with a frown on one side and a more neutral expression on the other.

The troubadour (bard) has upper arm printing.

We already saw it. Its on the leaflet. Its a (pretty cool) robot face, similar to the Exploriens Ann Droid minifigure from the 90s

The pony girl has dental braces printing. Very cute.

Thanks!! However, I had my own version (WF interpretation) of describing them, but it is great to know their official names now.

Ah ok thanks! I don’t remember someone mentioend that Tech’s head before - I may have overlooked it.

[Robert8]

It seems these are out now

A couple days ahead of the review embargo, classic...

Seeing all the details of this series, I have to say it really does have the high standard of quality that we've come to expect. When I saw the initial leaflet leak I wasn't sure, but these are wonderful, abounding in printed arms, dual moulding, dual expressions, etc. Most of the new moulds are pretty neat as well.

Perhaps some of the choices could've been more inspired, but overall, great series. Now I really just wish we could get more than one non-licensed series per year.

Oh so it's not a random customer then?

I thought he bought that box, but that was only an assumption as I don't speak german

I think he did buy a box or got one legitimately. If he got it through LAN, LAN would be mad, so I don't think it came from LAN.

What I meant is, classic that LEGO has revealed the series themselves and someone has obtained it, yet the review embargo is still a couple days away.

Anyone who watches a forty-six minute video about twelve minifigures; I salute you.

Not sure about some of the other names either.  Chili Costume Fan?  Raccoon Costume Fan?  What exactly are they fans of?  The costumes?  Also surprised the Acorn Guy/Forest Spirit got named "Forest Elf."  That name makes me think of something much more classic fantasy oriented, along the lines of LOTR or the series 3 Elf (or series 9 Forest Maiden).  Space Creature is also an odd choice, although I guess they don't have many options left after already using Space Alien, Classic Alien, etc.

[AmperZand]

@Robert8, Thank you for the link! Very cool 

There are lots of spare parts such as an extra sword for the moon warrior, additional coin and two plumes for the troubadour (bard), cheese slope for the chilli costume girl, mushroom head and staff for the forest elf (acorn boy), medal for the paralympian, carrot stem for the groom (foal girl), binoculars for the ornithologist, ice skate and trans clear jump/flight piece for the ice skater, blaster round 1x1 trans piece for the snailien, drill bit for the yellow robot and eye for the small, red robot.

There are some bags-within-bags. The foal, for example, is loose in its packet, but the groom minifigure comes in her own trans clear bag.

The packets seem to be grouped together in the display box such that, for example, the snow guardians and troubadours are all clustered on the front right.

Funny that in the video, the reviewer got the assembly of the ice skater wrong and only gave him one skate

Argh the video was so bad. Does he ever have played with lego before? Does he know anything about the world he lives in? Ughhhh. And so slow, and he should have zoomed in more. But anyway, i love the snailian and because of the video i love the moon warrior as well. She looks great!

Night Protector feels like a fitting name by the way. Protecting our dreams, so they won’t become nightmares.
