Personally, I wouldn't call the Nutcracker and Sugar Plum Fairy as counterparts of one another. They are from the same story, yes, but it's not like they're the same archetype. That being said, I'd love to see some more counterparts, like a well-designed male fairy or a Warlock with green skin like the Witch as well as a Ms. Gold as long as they didn't make her a limited edition. 

Let's be honest, the most missing counterparts are Male Cheerleader and Female Clown.

Or female Mime?

That would basically be the regular mime with a barrette hat/hair combo piece though, wouldn’t it? Mimes have more uniform appearances compared to regular clowns from what I know.

Yup a barrette har +hair would be perfect for female mimes. Even if she has dual-printed face and new facial face prints / facial expression.  I jsut like @Robert8’s design of Mime Girl form his ideas for CMFs.

 I'm suprised you still remember those

Every time a new series releases, I check to see which version of an archetype I prefer: the official design or your design!

True. I just think that a barrette hat+hair would be better to introduce in, say, a Parisian fashionista character, with said new part, a double sided mime head, and matching torso all included in BaM towers at a later date. 

Is there a DnD cmf topic yet? So much to discuss and share ideas and experience.

It's combined in the D&D thread over in the Historical theme forums.

The F1 series apparently won‘t feature full minifigs, only heads and helmets on buildable cars.

…there we go, the debate about which CMF series is the worst has finally been settled!!  I seriously hope there‘s a(nother) licensed series next year to make up for whatever this is.

Xalax racers (8 pieces each) were $3 in 2001, which is $5.32 today. The little Drome pullback racers without full minifigs (~25 pieces) were $4 in 2003, which is $6.84 today. So with the CMF price point at $5 for 5-16 pieces, this sounds very much like Xalax G2.

Gotta thank Lego for making me save my money.

Now I might just get a third DnD set.

Definitely won't be getting the F1 series.  More $ to spend on other stuff.  Now to go out hunting the D&D series to pick up a few extras beyond the 3 full sets I already ordered and am impatiently waiting for.

Ewwww........

Like, you've got to be joking, right, Lego? This is supposed to be a minifigure series. People have been begging for Animal Crossing, or Fortnite, or more Disney or Marvel, even just another normal CMF wave, but this is what you want to do?! Even when Mario wanted to do it's own thing, it didn't clog up the CMF slate. So, why are you doing this?

The car polybags (which have a bigger part count, and everyone knows exactly what they are) never sell out near me. That series is going to be a complete and utter joke, especially after two very popular series. I used to think Simpsons Series 2 was the worst, but at least that gave me a torso I could use for my knock off Velma. Maybe if one of the cars looks cool I'll get it, but I think this will be an extremely easy pass.

At the very least, I'm glad that this series didn't come out this year. I think the barcode scanning has lead to more overall sales and more buyer satisfaction, and the sales this year probably reflect that. If F1 came out to test the new codes, Lego could have taken the wrong message and said "well, these aren't selling, so the codes aren't worth printing."

Absolutely awful call all around.

 

Oh - I suppose that also means that the January wave will be a normal, unlicensed series, since it'd be odd to have three licensed series in a row. Too early to start a wishlist thread?

Yeah - this is an awful idea (if true). It doesn't even sound good for people who like Formula One! Hopefully just a side thing and won't replace a regular series of actually good proper minifigures.

Just….head and helmet along with buildable car??? That’s a worst CMF series we about to have!

I mean, it's something creative but I don't think that makes it automatically good, hopefully the next licensed CMF won't let us down

Yikes, horrible idea for a CMF. These small builds are something for an advent calendar, Lego city magazine or a polybag and they totally miss the point of a CMF series.

Hopefully this is just a random additional series that doesn't take up a normal CMF slot since it's being released in April.  Isn't the normal CMF release schedule January, May & September?

I‘m not opposed to the idea as such, but this doesn’t work as a CMF series for me. This should‘ve been an additional thing like the Unikitty blind bags, not one of the three series! Heck, they don’t even qualify as minifigs!

I really like my ideal F1 seris than that awful CMF idea Lego has…

So this weird F1 series is supposed to be a spring release right? Do we know what the January series is yet? Or is it going to be an unlicensed one?

I hope F1 series is not licensed. I am ready for Series 27.

By definition it will be licensed. It will be an F1 license. And then each CMF will likely be one of the teams, perhaps with two helmets for each of the drivers? Maybe the safety car for the 12th?

The idea just seems so pointless for F1. It's a series of cars that are, at a CMF scale, even at Speed Champions scale, essentially the same, just with different colors and sponsors. So what's the point in doing this as a CMF?

Oh well.
