Looks like the brickfan has the sheet.
From a thread about the release of the Louvre set to this one reminding me of Notre Dame. Seems brickset is taking me on a virtual tour of Parreee! (Paris) this morning! Time for croissants! :)
Btw, the Banshee, sweet.
the fly is the best. maybe we can make an insect mutant http://timesplitters.wikia.com/wiki/Insect_Mutant
the pirate is actually pretty cool too, printed peg leg is very nice.
Not that I don't love zombies, but this seems a smidgen too zombie heavy. It's kinda cheating creatively when you just add a zombie in front of something and poof, new thing! I feel they are taking up the space of something better. We really didn't need a zombie pirate, and certainly not another zombie businessman. I kinda wish they went full out on a series that was only zombies, then did a Halloween one also. I certainly would have enjoyed that more than Simpsons 2.0.
- Werewolf: How many of these do we need? It's a great looking figure though
- Pirate: Not very inspired, but still a good looking fig
- Scientist: I can't get past his head. What is the deal with that? Between that and his googly eyes, he will not be in my Halloween display
- Witch: Not bad, for yet another witch, at least she comes with a black cat which makes her awesome
- Plant guy: Love him, very creative
- The Fly: His claw hand makes him the most brilliant of the lot
- The Ghost: Such potential, but at least he has a classic ghost chain. Still, I'd rather have it be actually scary & spooky (as far as is possible with Lego). This guy looks like he belongs in some preschool Halloween special. I will likely be turning his head completely around to look better. Btw, does his head glow? It looks like his head glows
- Cheerleader: If we had to have at least one zombie, let it be her, she's awesome
- Cat Girl: Nice. Plus, for the guy who asked about the cat+whip, Catwoman (Batman) is very known for her whip
- Gargoyle: Not bad. But, if they actually have the concrete speckles on the legs arms and wings (which I don't think they do), he is upgraded to good
- Skeleton: Why not go all the way with a concept? Where's the front leg printing? The pumpkin bucket rules in any event
- Frank Rocker: Now that's creative. I love it
- Zombie businezzzzzzzzzzz
- Banshee: The tears are great. Also, does she possibly glow too? How great would that be?
- Bigfoot: Great, and the camera is a great gag. He could use more fur printing though
- Spider Woman: Great, really great
Lastly, this set looks extremely easy to feel for, which is one of the other things I didn't like about the Simpsons (both of them).Also, can someone please explain why the fly would have a claw hand? I'm liking the red claw as potential for a custom Zoidberg minifig, but I'm not really sure what it's doing there.
I don't quite understand the tall headed scientist either but he's crazy enough looking to go in my HH this year.
In the classic movie, "The Fly", the scientist get's a fly's claw hand and head when a fly is caught with him in his teleporter.

Pirate's cool but I don't like that beard in general on any minifig. At least they seem to be making new zombie faces for each incarnation of zombie.
Witch seems very plain.
Plant guy. Looks more like a guy who's in dismay over having to wear a costume that looks like a plant than a guy who's been eaten by a plant.
Not really digging the claw on the fly. Either give him 2 or none. I'd opt with none. He's a fly not a crab.
Specter's got a weird expression. His chains remind me of Jacob Marley. That would have been cooler than another zombie. A minifigure that looks like the ghost of Jacob Marley even though we don't officially call him Jacob Marley like we can't officially call the George Washington minifig George Washington.
Cheerleader. Seems to have a new zombie face.
You may not know this but the tiger lady is actually wearing body paint and a belt.
Gargoyle's cool. That's right I said GARGOYLE. I don't see the need for the short legs, though.
I agree that the skeleton should have legs printed on the front, maybe even more so than the side.
The Monster is cool but still sort of a phoned in design like the zombies.
Why is the zombie businessman still holding his suitcase? So we know he's a businessman?
Banshee will probably look better in person.
Bigfoot's cool.
Spider lady one of the best but I think I actually like the werewolf the best over all.
Still want all of them.
I wonder if they will do an all winter/Christmas theme next?
Brilliant!
My its kind of odd that they can't call the George Washington minifig George Washington (And for that matter Julius Caesar, Cleopatra and Hamlet - I'm sure there are others) when there were no problems with Abraham Lincoln and William Shakespeare.
On an unrelated note, does anyone know what's up with the banshee's hair? Is it a new element? I'm having trouble making it out.
As for the Fly, the 1958 original was good for its day, still watch-able (if like me, you don't mind black & white movies), but the 1986 remake with Jeff Goldblum is my preferred version to watch in this case, but be warned, the 86 version is seriously more graphic.

ME SARCASTIC? NAWWW! (holds up sign that says "SARCASM") >:)
Do you think we likely to see a series of space/historical/sports/animal suits etc etc in the future?
Also it's clearly been done to tie in with halloween, so while I personally would have loved some of the most obscure creatures - particularly more from different cultures such as Kappa from Japan or Wendigo from some Native American traditions - I realise that most people wouldn't have a clue what they were and wouldn't get the impulse halloween buy market.
With the Simpsons I feel we need one more normal series to give us the key people we are missing and then a treehouse of horror would be great but with Disney coming (maybe?) who know if we will get any more.
Personally I don't expect it at all, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Simpsons figures continue for a few more series, but I think LEGO are more likely to include key THoH characters, such as Kang and Kodos, or main Family variants, such as Stretch Dude and Clobber Girl, in the regular line
FWIW, this is the first CMF series that I'll have to have them all. I've picked a few from each since CMF 8 and grabbed a few old ones too, but this series is right up my alley.
And I can't wait to pick these up. Although, I still think the cat lady is my favorite.
LEGO have just posted official images on their Facebook
Take a good long look at the Zombie Cheerleader, because it's going to be a while before you get hold of one.
