LEGO Collectable Minifigures Series 22. Rumors and discussion

[williejm]

Glad someone saved it. Yes you’re right 

[Lacdaran]

Yeah, seeing the photo again they are different.  Trick of the memory and confirmation bias tripped me up, I suppose. 

[Lion King]

I can’t wait to see some offical images soon. Is it usual that the offical images will turn out in late November/early December, just like last year? 

[Robert8]

The official pics should out in the next couple of weeks  because reviewers get them a month before the official release date

Yeah, that’s what I remember. Thanks.

Isn’t it weird that there were no more leaflet leaks?

This is what I thought. Somebody knows something somewhere.

[Robert8]

I dont know if this is true or not, but I was told the leaker was asking for money to share the whole leaflet. 

So, it isnt weird at all they stopped

[Borex]

Wow, asking for money. I remember it used to be cool to share stuff like that with people for free, then it had to be all about likes and watch my channel, and now money. The human species suck sometimes.

[User5346]

Someone troll the leaker and get the pics without paying

Um, what? Being asked for money? That’s weird… is that a first time?

If I'm right, then the leaker of those previous pics used to be a member here, and if that is the case; then the person I knew would not charge for leaks.

I did reach out to try and get a glimpse of the whole leaflet, but I've had no response.

I think so.... yeah. At least this is the first time I hear of something like that

 

But anyway, with the reveal day being so close now, I doubt anyone is going to pay for the leaked pics. The closer it gets, the less valuable they become

The bag and leaflet have leaked! 

The bard has the Forestmen's hat recoloured in blue, which should be useful, and the "Moon Warrior" is an interesting surprise - She looks like an Elves villain in Minifig form. The "Snow Warrior" is not the warrior-Santa that many had feared, looking far more like Professor Karkaroff (mostly white, with some dark blue accents).

Hmmmmmmm

Not sure about this series 

These seem too j.u.n.i.o.r.i.z.e.d. right? Is it just me??

 

Also, the new pieces count is very low. At least from what I can see

The best one is the Moon Warrior

Also, the gender ratio seems to be 5 females vs 7 males, right?

A new pony and toucan, nice!

It is actually 5-5, with two of unspecified gender (the alien and the robot). If we judge by stereotypical colour-schemes, then the robot would be male and the alien would be female, bringing the ratio to 6-6. Either way, it appears to be balanced. 
 

[Robert8]

When a minifigure is meant to be a female, they usually drive the point home with features like waist, breasts, lipstick, etc... Like the Alien Villainess

 

What would be the point of having a female character that doesn't look like it. Especially now that these dont have bios 

[The Stud]

I actually really like this series. I sorta fell off from collecting CMFs for a year, around when Series 19 was revealed and didn’t get back into them until Series 21 leaked about this time last year. (Damn, time has flown.) I had reservations about them switching to 12 figures a series but so far, I’ve loved all the series since the switch. Series 21 was a much-needed return to form for the non-licensed series, Looney Tunes was a pretty neat series based off a new license (one that I don’t have any attachment too, hence why I didn’t buy any packs) and the Marvel series is undoubtedly one of the best series so far, in my personal opinion. This series continues that streak and I have no doubt that The Muppets will also. (Now that’s a new license I have an attachment to.)

I’ll type out my disorganized thoughts here: I don’t dislike any of the figures honestly. If I were to complain about one thing: the printing on the alien looks a bit… messy I guess? I don’t know how to explain it but the torso looks so plain next to the detailed arms and legs. Even then, I still dig the figure and like that purple Classic Space torso. The female figure with the teal looking face reminds me of Captain Planet lol. I really like the figure with the Baby Horse/foal/colt/whatever mold and I like the recolored Parker hair/hat combo, especially since I don’t have that piece yet. The Chili costume would be useful for building some sort of MOC based off the restaurant. I love the new toucan piece and pink satchel with the figure on the bottom left. The trash panda or racoon is a pretty cool figure and nice recolor of the Series 19 Fox.

To me, the only thing that looks somewhat <insert that tiresome argument> is the face on the mushroom with figure #8. Don’t know what that’s about… everything else looks fine to me though.
 

That’s most of what stood out to me. I look forward to getting the complete set in January or February.

I'm not a fan of CMF figs who can't be identified for what they represent without their accessories. We've had a few, like the skaters, but this series contains two, (horse girl and toucan girl). I was hoping more of an equestrian looking fig for the former I guess?

Highlights for me are the Bard, the Snow Warrior, and the Raccoon and Chili. I dig the toucan mold, and I also think the Moon warrior may grow on me with some non rendered pics, I think the hair and face colors are throwing me off.

EDIT: Just saw the Chili girl comes with milk. Hilarious

My highlights of this series are the trash panda costume, toucan, the foal, the trans-purple sword, and the ingenious use of the ‘antenna cap’ for the alien  Speaking of which: can someone identify the part on its back? Can’t tell what it is

Is there somewhere in the world that calls foals for pony's? The old foal mould is also called pony on BL

Anyway I love the toucan and foal

Other than that I think the series look a little plain. From what I can see from the picture I rank them:
 

1. Toucan girl and foal girl, win automaticity because of the animals
2. Bard looks like the best fig if we do not include the animals
3. Acorn and snow warrior look ok
4. Welder is fine as a city fig I guess
5. Racoon and chilli costume is rather boring (we get sooo many costume figs), but since I have most of the other costumes I will get them maybe
6. I have no interest in sport and space figs and the moon fig is a little "way out there" for me so will probably not buy the 4 last ones

Common misconception

It’s a futuristic robot, so not sure if it works as a City minifig
