CMF series 14 / Halloween Monsters

CCC

That skeleton is very nice. I'm fairly sure the original head is for a ghost / ghoul.

Looks like the vampire chick has a translucent cape in that pic. That will be kinda cool if it is the case. This series will def. be a full case purchase for me.

I hope they have some type of haunted house/castle set to go with these.  I missed the last haunted house set and regret it now.

Pitfall69

^Wishful thinking, but doubtful seeing Scooby-Doo is coming out.

burnsider

Forgot about those sets. Oh well!

BrickDancer

Johnny and crew from the Cobra Kai dojo!

And as @andhe mentioned, it'll be good for a Call of Duty MW2 moc of Simon 'Ghost' Riley.

Fauch

despite legs now getting prints on all sides, dresses are still only printed on the front :(

though I find it weird that the full skeletal legs are only visible from the side and not the front.

I think that this could be the first CMF series I attempt to complete since series 2.

The skeleton is looking different and a whole lot better than the leaked pics. Perhaps the face was from a different fig. Can see this head being sort after by military MOCers. Nice pumpkin print on that bucket as well.

....A few more 'skeletons' and you can do the Karate kid scene

Pitfall69

^Yes, @BrickDancer mentioned that already ;)

Yeah, missed that :-(

Don't worry @madforLEGO you're the best, around, and nothing's gonna ever keep you down.

BACbrix

Very excited for Grim Reaper figure... and Billy and Mandy might follow

Jern92

This is probably the only series I'll try to complete. They'd look amazing around my Haunted House :D

When do we expect these to come out? September or October?

'Octobre'... Which usually means we'll see them on shelves in Septembre.

Oh sheesh! Before I posted I skimmed that entire French article for any sign of the month and did not see anything....I read your post and was wondering how I missed 'Octobre' in there, so I skimmed it again not seeing it. Only then did I finally notice the HUGE freaking red banner across the picture!!

From the box art preview, it looks like every package comes with a yellowish/gold fig. Mr. Gold for everyone!

I love Halloween. Looking forward to this series. Not sure of the point of only one Monster rocker.

The vampire started dating Yoko Ono and the band broke up. Frank's a solo act now (he was the real talent anyways).

legomatt

^ He's got an unplugged album, but he's best live.

Thanos75

If he was flesh colored he would look like Meatloaf from Rockies Horror Picture Show.

Pitfall69

I love Helloween!!!

karmajay

I've never collected a full CMF set but this will be the first!

madforLEGO

Ive been trying to move away from the CMFs but then they make one with a decent set of figures. I try not to be a completion-ist with LEGO, but the CMFs are somewhat easy to find a set for as well as spares so as much as I loath the 3.99 USD price on them Ill likely buy them when they appear in the stores.

Fauch

never seen them in stores. I would say some CMFs are good, but they seem to do a lazy job on many of them, when you see minifigs in other themes can get arm printings or side printings on legs, but most CMFs can't even have a printed back...

I could have written this. I was swearing I was done, but the HH and Classic Monsters from the CMF line were what got me into Lego in the first place. An entire theme of Halloween inspired figs is right up my alley. I will most likely buy 2 complete sets of this series which will be a first. I will try to quit with the next series.

This is the truest thing said on here in a while. CMF can be like a drug.

SumoLego

The Tumbler is the LAST set I'm buying... the Hulkbuster set is last set... the Detective Office is it!

The Helicarrier , along with the Simpsons Series 2. That's when I'm quitting.

Kwik-E Mart and the Ferris Wheel are the end, for real!

Who am I kidding?!? When are they making a Golden Gate Bridge?

Yep and unfortunately for my wallet - it was a gateway drug. I'm hooked on the much more expensive stuff now.

TheLoneTensor

I do find it telling though that I have zero interest in Simpsons V2, so I am able to quit when there's just nothing there. All bets are off with these Halloween ones, so we'll just have to see what happens with the next set. I wonder if it's time we'll see CMFs with the Marvel chars, DC chars, LOTR chars, etc. We already know they won't do one with the Star Wars chars though.

Fauch

I suppose it's a good thing, there are already a billion different star wars figs.

piratemania7

I love Halloween - it's my favorite holiday. I also love LEGO. Oh and I love the fall season. Sooooooo I really can't wait for this series to become available. Front and center with my HH I tell ya.

SumoLego

A CMF Series of Star Wars figures would interesting. Who would make the cut to the sixteen?

piratemania7

^ I think it would be too difficult to decide amongst 100's of options.

oldtodd33

^ You would get at least 10 Hoth Hans to a case.

Pitfall69

Original Trilogy: Darth Vader Luke Skywalker Han Solo Chewbacca Princess Leia Obi Wan Kenobi Boba Fett C-3PO R2-D2 Emperor Palpatine Stormtrooper Biggs Darklighter Wedge Antilles Tusken Raider Tie Fighter Pilot Lando If there was not any Star Wars Minifigures...

SumoLego

@CapnRex101 - Should probably move @Pitfall69's complete derailment of this topic to a new thread. (I did inadvertently start the derailment and will happily continue it below...)

The Theoretical Star Wars CMF Sixteen:

Darth Vader, Emperor, Stormtrooper, Tusken Raider, Boba Fett

One-Handed Luke, Leia, Han-Shoots-First Solo, Chewbacca, R2-D2, C-3PO, Lando, Wicket, Yoda, Old Obi-Wan, Admiral Ackbar

I think I already smell a CMF Series 2...

SumoLego

Theoretical SW Series 2:

Darth Maul, Count Dooku, Darth Sideous, Jango Fett, Youngling-Murdering Anakin Skywalker, Poggle the Lesser, Grevious.

Qui-Gon, Mace Windu, Queen Amidala, Young Obi-Wan, Clone Trooper, Yoda, Ki-Adi Mundi

Watto and Jar-Jar.

madforLEGO

Pretty sure LEGO cannot make a CMF Star Wars 'set' as those would be considered 'action figures' which is Hasbro's territory. It is the same reason why I the licensed magnet sets are now all glued to a base I believe, or LEGO would have likely done one many moons ago

VorpalRyu

If they ever do a SW CMF line, they better do 4-LOM & Zuckuss... The only two bounty hunters in Empire without a minifig!

& I can quit any time I want, I'm not addicted, I just don't want to just yet... :wink:

My Thoughts exactly!

CCC

^^ that's probably what Lego want you to think. They could easily put 16 popular minifigs into four cheap battle packs but don't. Just like Vader has only been in expensive sets recently. Why? Commercial reasons are number one.

sonsofsceva

Blue Snaggletooth

Mandz27

Might just Break out the haunted house for Halloween this year...

ryjay

Not too sure about this set, there isn't one that jumps out at me to buy.   I do like, however, the side print they are doing.

This is what I've always heard and thought but how are the minifigs any different than those new buildible star wars figures that are being released soon?  Minfigs come in parts and need to be built out of the bag as well.

Also, if they were to make a Star Wars cmf, I would prefer he most obsecure characters that are not easily assessible.

77ncaachamps

I know they hit some of them already but why can't they do a SEASONAL cmf series?

Already covered in the CMFs:

Can be covered:
New Year's reveler

Cupid
Chinese Dragon dancer guy/girl
George Washington
April Fool's Day prankster

Diwali celebrant
Pilgrim
Person in a Turkey Suit


I know I'm missing some...

I'm guessing as most of them are either American or religious.

dannyrww

They have done plenty that are American (probably because it is a big market)....they have done a revolutionary soldier that looks and awful lot like George Washington.
