Lego 8833 - Series 8 Minifigures

Pictures of the new series of Lego Minifigures has just been released, and a lot sooner that everyone thought, considering the limited edition Olympic ones have only been out for a couple of months. For me, that takes a little of the excitement out of it, but not a whole lot. Here's a list of the new figs; (these may not be the real names, so don't get attached to them)

Business Man (Briefcase and newspaper)

Football Player (Trophy)

Red Cheerleader (Red/white pom poms, would go well with S1 Cheerleader)

Space Overlord (Gun, awesome purple cape, although this is the 7th space themed fig so far)

Conquistador (fencing sword, if that's what you call it)

Robot (Same gun as S3 Cyborg, Evil opposite of S1 Robot, 8th space themed fig)

Stereotypical German Boy (Pretzel, can see the pretzel making appearances in future bakeries)

Fairy (Wings and Wand)

Cowgirl (Lasso, looking forward to that hat/hair combo)

DJ (Record and Record Sleeve, works in conjunction with S2 Disco Dancer)

Vampire Bat (Wings under arms, most likely attached via back)

Diver (Harpoon, love the helmet, seems to have a clear front, although similar to that of S5 Gladiator)

Pirate (Shiny gold Sword and Hook Hand, looks like it could be inspired by Blackbeard)

Skier (Skis and Poles, although I think she needs a helmet)

Santa (Sack, really nice hat)

Shakespeare (Skull, whatever that neck thing is called. Head looks extremely similar to S4 Musketeer)

The few figs that jump out at me, would have to be the Space Overlord, for the head and cape, I can't get over how awesome that is, The Fairy and the Skier, just for the oddly coloured pieces, and last but not least, the DJ, mainly because I see a little of myself in him.
