This year, it's laborious when it comes to the new series of collectible minifigs.

Leaks are rare and while the members of the LEGO Community Team have confirmed having received the first boxes of the series 9, we are still at 3 visuals only of which this Chicken Suit Guy which appeared today on Brickset, various forums and on flickr. (The other two known minifigs: Alien trooper - Dr Splitz)

If the plastic minifigure conforms to this drawing published in the last LEGO Club Magazine Friends Edition British, so she shouldn't have arms. These would be replaced by wing-shaped limbs. Let's just hope that these wings will be equipped with a clip allowing to fix a weapon or any tool ...
