I didn't save a screenshot of it, but I took a photo on my phone. I could PM it to you, if you'd want.

It’s ok - I managed to find it! Thanks though. As @Lion King said, the official pics can’t be far off. Lego have done a good job keeping sets unrevealed recently. I can’t believe the Botanical Garden will be released in less than two weeks and it hasn’t been officially unveiled yet. Next month could be very interesting with the next modular, Lunar NY set, new  City sets + other Jan themes not yet seen and of course more detailed pics of Series 27!

Lego has been advertising a live reveal and giveaway for a signed set that viewers can enter tomorrow. That’s almost certainly when the Botanical Garden will be revealed (I’m pretty sure the Endurance is the only other big D2C for this year that hasn’t been revealed yet, and the Farden is coming out first).

They've already shown an image on it on the official website, just not done the press release type announcement. I'm not sure what purpose those announcements serve any more. Everyone that knows it is coming, knows it is coming. LEGO might as well just do the press release on the day of release, so if people see it they can buy it.

Some new images of series 27 have leaked. A lifestyle image of the entire series with the Jetpack Racer, Plushie Collector, Beastmaster, and Cupid in the foreground and the rest much smaller in the background (quality pretty low). And close up renders of the Beastmaster, Astronomy Kid, Hamster Costume, Jetpack Racer, and Pterodactyl Costume. Although sadly the animals and telescope didn’t make it into those. Especially frustrating considering the Cat Lover’s feline friend is cut off in the group shot. 
 

Noteworthy observations from what we can see:

- Beastmaster’s cape looks new

- Astronomy Kid does indeed have a prosthetic hand 

- Cupid seems to have an alternate face with heart eyes

- Steampunk Inventor is out of focus in the background but there’s a clear difference between his legs, supporting the speculation of a robot prosthetic 

- Quartermaster is similarly hard to see, but clearly has some sort of fabric piece attached at the hips

- Pterodactyl wing arms are definitely a new design different from the preexisting bat wing arms

- Cat Lover has printed cat hairs covering their legs (absolutely adorable detail)

Does seem to confirm just one cat for the cat lover. Wolf looks smaller in real life photos to the group shot too. 

[Lion King]

I can’t wait for Series 27! Those minifigures look great to me. Even if we might have one cat for Cat Lover and small wolf for beast master.

I wonder if the new cape design will have the Wolfpack logo in the back?

and the Cupid’s face with heart eyes is something that I’ve wanted to see them do for a while and I think that will make that figure more desirable 

not sure why the wolf is about the same size as the normal dogs but it does look more beefy 

I’ve also noticed that every figure has at least one new part except for the steampunk guy that I can tell I wonder if that’s a sign that the next rumored F1 series will have less new parts…

The more I see of this series the less I like it... I"ll try to keep the negativity at minimum but... 

....

Anyway seems to me Cupid has heart eyes in that picture but Im not sure

What are you waiting for? Go get job at Lego HQ and join CMF team! I love your minifigure ideas. 

I think Cupid’s heart eyes has reference to Cupid & Psyche. Cupid accidentally scratched himself with his own arrows, causing him to fall in love with Psyche.

Not familiar with what you mean by a lifestyle image. Found the package pic when it was first discovered.

It means the picture of the actual physical minifigures they upload on Lego Store. Not cgi

There's a new image floating around that has more detail. It's an IRL, "Lifestyle" image that Lego frequently uses with promotional material.

Thank you

Lifestyle images are real life pictures of the actual set that are among the product images on the Lego website. For actual sets this often involves them being in a household setting and some combination of built/in progress and with/without human models interacting with it. With CMFs they tend not to want to distract from the smaller minifigs, so their lifestyle images tend to be in front of a plain photographer’s backdrop - one of them all lined up and a couple more of some kids holding them. If you go to the shop@home pages of the currently available series and scroll through the images the last three pics for both are this style of pic. 
 

r/legoleaks on Reddit currently has a post compiling all the recently leaked images (the lifestyle picture and some individual close up reders)

I hope not. They are a bunch of ragtag rebels. It would be too uniform-like if they have faction branded capes.

It’s called fashion, look it up 💅🏻

You could kinda say the same about their shield and torso though. But I don´t see it happening either. The Black Falcon Archer had none, so why should a bandit have it then?

I am personally hoping for fur printing (wavy lines to simulate texturing).

We have a fur collar piece, so printing on an obviously-fur cloak is not really different.

Oh I was just joking sarcastically. Yes Snow Guardian has that fur collar piece.

Thanks for the news! 🙂

I'm not happy with the Wolfpack knight: I dislike the disturbed cape and the minifigure simply looks too similar to the one in the MTS.

In contrast, I like the longboarder even more that from the first pic: It's nice that he/she (?) has medium sized legs. I hope that the longboard piece (maybe in a different color) then will be available outside of the CMF series, maybe in some City set(s).

Now I know what's really missing in this series: a food costume and a musician.
