I'm not really a Disney collector so most of the series doesn't hold much appeal to me, but most of the figs do look great.
It would've actually made more sense to make a set of 20 then just have 3 full sets like TLM2 CMFs; it's not as if there are any obvious army builders in there apart from maybe Hercules that people might want multiples of.
- Goofy
- Webby
- Darkwing Duck
- Lilo
- Miguel from Coco
- Hector from Coco
- Ralph (Wreck-it-Ralph)
- Vanellope (Wreck-it-Ralph)
- Mary Poppins
- Pooh
- Tigger
- Piglet
- Mulan
- Judy (Zootopia)
- Nick (Zootopia)
- Robin Hood
- Roger Rabbit
- Merlin
- Mickey (Sorcerer's Apprentice)
- Sora (Kingdom Hearts)
(There's fair bit of general Disney celebration nonsense for Mickey and Minnie, Frozen 2, Aladdin, Incredibles 2...)
I am a bit surprised there aren't a couple of Mulan characters to do some subtle promotion of next year's live-action movie. Instead of those rather random Hercules figures. (Not that I'm complaining about them - I like those figures. A Chernabog would be very cool for an upcoming series
... with a Sorcerer's Mickey and a broom or two.)
I thought more about the series last night and looked closer at the pictures and decided even more that I'm thrilled with all of them. Despite not being a huge Hercules fan, I think the two characters are still well done. Would I have selected others to be in the series before a handful of these? Would it have been nice to know Supreme Leader Snoke's backstory? Absolutely! (wait a second...) The fact remains that I'm not in control of which characters they release, so I'll be happy with what I get.
(But maybe a Stacks Edwards!)
They were amongst the Brickheadz, so it doesn't surprise me that they were in this CMF mix.
Hercules, on the other hand - he's shuffled in with those not-quite-super-successful Disney movies. I'd posit that Hades is disproportionately more prelavent in the Disney villains pantheon that what the success of the movie would warrant.
There are those Disney 'classics' that aren't so classic. (Home on the Range.)
Otherwise... boo! BOOOOOO!!!!
So there you have it, even though Steamboat Willie was revealed first the CMFs were actually developed first.
As for the new CMF series, I think it looks great, but it lacks the “wow” factor the first series had if that makes sense. With the first series, well over half of the figures were must-haves for me and while I’m definitely looking forward fo picking up the complete set for Disney Series 2, none of the figures are as mindblowing as the ones from the first. Tangent aside, my favorites are the Vintage Mickey and Minnie (even though they are identical to the ones from the set), the Ducktales quartet, and Jasmine. I’m pleasantly surprised by the inclusion of Edna Mode (one that doesn’t give me nightmares...) and Frozone and am also surprised that these are the only Pixar figures included.
Hopefully Goofy and Pluto will be included in a future D2C set or CMF series, because their omission is rather puzzling. Overall, I’m pretty pleased with the recently-revealed Lego Disney products.
But they technically aren't.

I feel like a similar thing happened with the Winter Village Train the year they released the Winter Village Train Station. The Train was on back order from August until late October/early November with an occasional day or two of availability. Once the Station was released, they both had plenty of stock (at least this is my recollection).
Also, if the minifigures of both sets mostly overlap, redundancy may become a factor...
Since I only "know" that the new set will be a train and it will have Goofy, this is just speculation.
I'd be very surprised if the Castle retired within the next five years. The DS and TB would occasionally be out-of-stock, only to return a few months (or weeks) later.
