Okay, that's series 7 done. You've all seen what the minifigures in this series look like thanks to WhiteFang's review on Eurobricks . So let's move on to the next series: Series 8...
The only concrete information we have is the box presented at the New York Toy Fair 2012. Series 7 was also presented with a red box which corresponds to the bags we have just discovered, so we can deduce without being too far off the mark that the bags of series 8 will indeed be black, like the box presented at the show.
Another possibility is LEGO Concept Designer Alexandre Bourdon and his work on minifigures. If you look closely at this page from his portfolio , you'll see that many of the sketches that landed him the job have been incorporated into the various series released to date since 2010. He was also responsible for the Swamp Monster minifigure in the new Monster Fighters range.
Obviously, we must be right and not draw too hasty conclusions, but we can legitimately hope that some concepts from these boards will emerge soon.
In short, we don't know much, but take the time to look at the boards he presents on his two portfolios, the answer may be in:
Alexandre Bourdon LEGO Application Portfolio 2010
Alexandre Bourdon LEGO Billund 2010
Note that Alexandre Bourdon has agreed to a short interview on Brickpirate . The answers to the questions asked are apparently being reviewed by his superiors before being made public in the dedicated forum thread . Wait and see...
