Look at what they did with Medusa

She was a woman with snakes instead of hair. That's it. But the CMF is monstrous half human-half snake hydrid with snakes instead of hair

Don't get me wrong. S10 Medusa is one of my favorite CMF ever, but  she is very far from being accurate to greek mythology

I think they must have based her on the Ray Harryhausen creation from the original Clash of the Titans film in the 80s:

I seriously hope they don‘t go for a putto-like cupid depiction.

Dude... I feel like that's exactly how the minifigure will be

I‘m afraid you‘re right… The medusa gave me hope they might deviate a bit from the usual depictions but I won’t be that lucky I guess

Small update from @Brick Clicker: The "plush toy" is actually a plush toy collector  Sounds cool, but I hope they introduce a new type of plush toy rather than just reusing the existing teddy bear and bunny plush pieces!

Teddy bear, bunny plush. What’s next, dinosaur? 

Actually…. *looking at my lego minifigure plush* i kinda wish that collector could hae a new iin figure plush! But baby figure exist there so it’s ruled out.

... 

When I google 'plush toy', I get whale, cat, dog, owl, penguin. I wonder if it could be any of the above?

He showed a dark furry character holding angry plushies on each hand. Hmmm...

A plush toy was orders of magnitude more interesting than a plush toy collector (for me, anyway)

I always like to see lego versions of non-lego toys as minifigures. Puppets, marionettes, dolls, etc... 

I wanted something like the Toy Soldier or the Clockwork Robot

Plush goat, maybe? To throw even more shade at goat collectors?

I wonder if the minifigure will have some kind of 90's look to them, and almost have this be an offbrand Beanie Baby collectors... In that case, you almost have to include a bear of some kind - they're pretty iconic in the Beanie Baby world.

My personal prediction: lion. I think it would be pretty cute, especially if they go all-out on the printing and give it a mane.

True enough, but it’s worth pointing out that leaning into the reptilian aspect on Medusa allowed them to do more interesting prints and parts that made the character distinct beyond just her hair piece (especially when you consider that the Roman Emperor in series 9 came out only a couple of years earlier). Her serpentine ‘leg’ piece is potentially useful for other mythical monsters. In contrast, both potential versions of Cupid would come with similar wings and archery equipment, the difference would be one wearing a toga (which we haven’t seen in awhile) that would be appealing on its own to various collectors, and the other being a distinctly non-infant minifig that’s naked except for a diaper - which is obviously less versatile. 

They could also cover it in Valentine hearts and imagery. Not my thing, but I imagine that would be more popular with the masses than a mythological god.

For the cat lover, I hope they break stereotype and make it male.

Do you have any specific names of people who have leaked them? Instagram stops you at a login page if you just try to look for general hashtags now, but you can look at individual profiles without issue.

Glad to see we will get the Wolfpack shield.  The Boogeyman is kind of cute.  Recolored cat for the Cat Lady, it's white.   The plushies just look like printed modified technic balls. And I lost the picture.  It was watermarked from what seemed to be an Asian source, possibly a catalog.  Pirate Quartermaster with the cockatoo is female.  Cupid wears a toga but is a bit cutesy for Valentines day.  Not a good view of the steam punk one or the jetpack one but the jetpack one seemed very busy.  Dino costume was hard to see also.  Found it again.  Looks like the Steampunk one has some sort of steampunk clock device.  I'm getting a bit weary of the use of odd colored hair pieces.  The Astronomer kid is nice, they did a good job with the telescope & the torso print.  Cat Lady has a printed sweater.

It sounds like the photo's already been taken down then? I still haven't been able to find any profiles with the photo yet.

How big did the wolf look? Did the Beastmaster have some kind of animal hood,  or just normal hair? That's the one I'm the most curious about if the Steampunk guy can't be seen...

That's - even more ironic, given the recent Taylor Swift post.

Wolf looks big, it's gray and the Beastmaster wears a black hood.  I updated my post when I found the picture again.  I was able to see a clock type thing with a steampuff with the Steampunk guy.

Thanks! What's the name of the profile where you've found the photo? Instagram doesn't let those without profiles look at general hashtags, so I can't search for it that way, but you can usually look at individual profiles/posts just fine if you know where to look.
