I'd be disappointed if we didn't see a non-licensed CMF series soon. I find it more exciting to see something totally new rather than something I already now, just lego-ized (eg Lego The Simpsons). That said, at least The Simpsons are yellow, so if you ditch the heads (or make them into pencil toppers) you still have general parts that are compatible with 'normal' minifigs.
If they did do another series I'd personally like to see: Sideshow bob Snake Groundskeeper Willie Comic Book Guy Moe The Bee guy Duff Man...
and reckon we're likely to see Skinner, Smithers and Dr Hibbert as it seems that these were some of the 'regular' characters that weren't in wave 1.

I've edited the title to reflect the CMF line in general. I thought that better than starting a new thread. This advert for series 13 has surfaced online. As you can see, the previous 'leaked' list looks pretty accurate (it's included at the bottom of this post for those that didn't see it). The wizard has nice printing, but I'm not massively keen on the 'dunce cone' on his head. I was really hoping for the existing hat in a new colour. The swashbuckler has a nice gold foil, and brown musketeer hat which is a nice piece in that colour. The list is: Space Miner (above) Battle Goddess (above) Wizard (above) Dino Tracker (above) Swashbuckler (above) Jester Piggy Guy Hun Warrior Fairytale Princess Pizza Delivery Man Video Game Guy (above) Spooky Girl Prospector Genie Girl Rock Star Lifeguard

This looks really cool. Also, it's series 12, not 13. I am really not feelin' the new price tag after seeing how amazing these look. In fact, I think this was a bad marketing move as it will even more increase the stereotype that "legos are way too expensive. How about these megabloks?". And my parents thought they cost way to much even when they were $3.00 ( yes I do use my now money, but it is kept by them in a sort of virtual bank thing. SO technically they are the ones paying, but money I earned). Now I'm going to have an even harder time getting ahold of these awesome figs.

The Athena fig fits well with Loreos and even the Swashbuckler. I can't wait to see what the Hun Warrior looks like.

*gasp!* Battle Goddess, I think I'm in love with you!
My wants, based on the descriptions: Battle Goddess Wizard Swashbuckler (for the hat) Jester Hun Warrior Fairytale Princess
Swashbuckler torso could be useful as well.
Wizard is a bit too stylized for me to be crazy about him, but I'm always happy for new fig accessories, so I'm happy about the new hat mold.

I just got 47 simpson figures for 50 dollars, couldnt resist the bargain....... Well I hope you find a good use for them. I don't think I'll be buying anymore (well, maybe Mr.Burns for the suit and fish bowl). I bought Apu thinking the torso would a great combo with some Nick Fury parts, but it turns out they made Apu in medium dark flesh for some reason (and his hair grey?!) when I would have thought regular brown would have been a better colour match to the tv show. (EDIT: having googled him it seems his colour varies, so may be something they changed in more recent seasons, I think UK tv is about 10 seasons behind... lol). So it didn't work as well as I had hoped, but thought I might as well try it out. Nick 'Funky Fresh' Fury - Agent of D.I.S.C.O by andhe :-), on Flickr I think the release date is usually August?

The prospector, Jester, Damsel, Hun, Wizard and Goddess are the obvious castle 'winner's (maybe that pigs head for a apple in mouth feast scene as well). I'm not quite sure when I started seeing the CMFs as parts rather than figures, but certainly like that the musketeer hat will be available in brown the Rock chic/star hair in black (makes a good barbarian hair me thinks). Will be interesting to see the breakdown of a box, I'm betting the space miner and pizza guy will be 'sixers', assuming we go back to the 2/4/6 dynamic rather than the 3/4/5 of earlier series and the recent Simpsons.
