LEGO Minifigures Series 9 Ready for 2013

It sure feels like LEGO has quickened the pace of its Minifigures series. Series 8 came out in September 2012, and Series 9 will ring in 2013.

This set has some fun characters starting with the Chicken Suit Guy. I also like the Cyclops dude, Battle Mech, and the Alien Avenger. The Forest Maiden is good timing the the December release of the Hobbit movie. The Mermaid made up in a Starbucks montage? Why not.
