I can't wait to get all 12 of them. They shouldve gone all the way like with the monsters series. I like buying them if I can put a certain Atlantis head in them. I like most of these, hope the pop corn piece is printed on both sides. Such nostalgic appeal and I love that horsey!The Snowman, while it could be considered part of the Christmas sub-theme, lacks the festive embellishments of the other minifigures, so I see it as just a winter-themed minifigure. Most are just variants on what has been done before and a bit stale for me.The Snowman is good. He doesnt have much land or treasure yet, or even his own little village to rule, but hes already recruited fourteen brave and loyal knights, and by working together they have constructed a fine golden castle. It doesn't seem to be a werewolf, so it's just a wolf in overalls? We need printed Shako hats again!The rest are pretty useless or uninteresting. Toucan, Foal or Lute. @Watsonite said:"Always bizarre how everyone sees the CMFs as (minifig)parts packs. should be satisfied. *Learn more.

Snowman, Reindeer Costume and Holiday Elf hang out together. My squirrels are sure going to be happy with that nut. Such nostalgic appeal and I love that horsey!The Snowman, while it could be considered part of the Christmas sub-theme, lacks the festive embellishments of the other minifigures, so I see it as just a winter-themed minifigure. There is also no new pet or unique accessory. "I can only see two sides, and only one is printed? @MarkingX said:"Looking at the picture for the Snowman, his head doesn't look completely round and looks molded to fit into the scarf. Putting together the Lego Winter Village is something my family enjoys doing together each year. The only one I definitely want is the Knight, as it ties in with the new castle (featuring the same shield inside) and it would feel like the set is missing a minifigure otherwise. @Trigger_:You might want to recount the guys. Mascot-style costumes happen to be incredibly popular, at least with a subset of AFOLs. To many of them, of course it is only my opinion. A medium nougat would have better reflected the idea of a cardboard costume.The Ferry Captain is okayAs a non-Christian, the Reindeer Costume and other Christmas-themed minifigures dont appeal to me. I'm not very into costumes.I kinda like the robot and the knight, but not enough to go after them. AFOL Furries (do these subultures even mix?) Is that printing on the 4 sides of a 1x1 Plate in the snow globe of the Christmas Elf? The knight gave them an offer they couldnt refuse. I also like all of the holiday themed figures. Better yet, have each one be from a different holiday throughout the year. @Paperdaisy said:"I think my least favourite is the wolf, because I'm not sure why it's wearing clothes. Zero Interest in any of them.Save Me having to feel a whole lot of packages and Cash too!Nuff Said. Cardboard Robot and Popcorn Costume get together for fun. Costume heads? LEGO Minifigures Series 23 previewed at LEGO CON 2022! Sure, some of them could come in handy in this or that MOC or setup but that isn't exactly the point of the series.I love this series, there are some nice ideas and moulds and they are clearly aimed at the holiday months of the year. Is that a redesign of the Knight's visor piece? Too many costumes which are absolutely useless for my creations. Of course, I could be reading too much into it. Too many costumes which are absolutely useless for my creations. What does the bunny symbolize?

It may not suit your tastes, but sometimes themed waves like this use up the new mold budget on stuff thats not general purpose like new animal molds (skunks, dachshunds, etc). Not bad if you like Christmas; I don't. Just a total guess. Finally my grey space minifiure will be complete. There isn't any fig i want to have. The head probably looks strange without the scarf. But none that I really WANT. Several monochrome minifigs are only possible due to CMFs. . I would guess that they target them at kids buying pocket money toys, plus teen and adult collectors but I'm not sure what the split would be on that.

Heres hoping the next two batches are DC2 and Muppets2! Thats why they rigged the vote to push Castle in front of Bionicle. Maybe its just a guy in a turkey suit.Knight of the Yellow Castle is amazing. @Librarian1976 said:"Popcorn Costume and Turkey Costume are fantastic, but I wonder how much the Turkeywith its association with American Thanksgivinghas international appeal. LEGO CON 2022 Recap: all the new sets announced! 12 limited-edition characters to collect and play with. Going to be the first wave since the monster wave that I don't intend to collect them all. Knight of the yellow castle is interesting. So much better than what they've been putting out the last few years.But I'll definitely want extras of some, if I can find them. Maybe one popcorn for the Palace Cinema, alongside a pile of popcorn 1x1 bricks. Its weird half are holiday themed and the rest are just a mishmash. Santa could be argued to be in the spirit of giving. Oh, all right, the nutcracker too. The minifigure kinda has a bit of a cutesy/chibi nature to it already, so cranking that up with the new face prints is a plus.

Up to the minute reporting on the latest technology and lifestyle product introductions, in-depth reviews and notable consumer price fluctuations. These will not last on the pegs until then, so I don't get the thought process of whoever decides the timing on the release date.I would totally re-use the Ferry Captain as the captain of the Titanic if I had that set. If so, why did they change from 16 to 12, as that makes displays look odd since the later series do not match the originals. In my view, there are now too many to look any good when displayed together, as they just blend into a coloured mess. It triggers my "ick" reflex. The Knight and the Nutcracker are the only two that I find mildly interesting.Overall one of the most forgettable series, for me. Collectable Minifigures Series 23 revealed! This series is totally middle-of-the-road for me. I wish we had got a more regular knight, this one reminds me of some kids cartoon I think it was called The Little Princess?? This is 2022s third wave, which should release in September. Theyll fit store shelves later this fall on September 1, where theyll be available in the plastic bags seemingly for the last time. It has battlements and a flag and a drawbridge and everything!Creating a brand-new kingdom isnt easy, but the Classic King is full of big ideas. The teal color doesnt work for me. So while its still up in the air for next year, the LEGO Series 23 Collectible minifigures may be the last releases before the updated packaging. I collect only warriors in these series so maybe, just maybe, I'll get the Knight, even though it's supposed to be a kid due to mid legs. "I was always taught as a kid that Santa, reindeer, and all that stuff is just good fun. I need Captain Birdseye (aka the ferry captain) for my 910010 (The Great Fishing Boat). There isn't any fig i want to have. I sense they're running out of ideas out there at the drawing board, too many costume figures. Emmet taught us this. I was hopelessly looking for grey helmet after the Rocket Boy torso, you know, with Classic Space torso. Will just have to get some full size silver legs to turn it into an adult knight. The figures in this series can be divided into three categories.First up are generic costume figs, in the vein of series 18: Cardboard Robot, Ferry Captain, Green Dragon Costume, Wolf Costume, and Popcorn CostumeNext are various winter holiday themed figs: Reindeer, Turkey Costume, Christmas Elf, Nutcracker, Snowman, and Sugar FairyAnd finally, ONE figure based on legacy products: Knight of the Yellow Castle.If I was in charge of this series I would have made it all figures based on high ranking themes from the 90th Anniversary vote:Toa Tahu (Mata)Johnny Thunder (or maybe Baron Von Baron since we already got an updated Johnny not too long ago)Knight of the Yellow Castle Governor Broadside The Black KnightDragon Master BurnabusAxel (Rock Raiders) Blacktron (Original Version) Commander ColdAquanautM-Tron OgelIf they wanted to go all out and make more than 12 minifigs, they could've even made everyone happy by throwing in:Paradisa Civilian Tim (Time Cruisers) WolfpackAnn DroidYou may have noticed I skipped Classic Space, Pirates, Forestmen, Space Police, and Black Falcons on that list, despite them being high ranking. "I agree. @Librarian1976 said:"This is one of the worst series, in my opinion.The Cardboard Robot is hideous. Turkey Costume and Wolf Costume run rings around each other. When they were first out, the costumes were something a bit different, but now there are so many they feel like a slightly different print for a police officer. @dutchbrickdad said:" @thor96 said:" @onejdmbrick84 said:"I think this is the best non-licensed series so far - every minifigure is a must have.
