They look pretty legit as real produced minifigures. There is really only one part in there that looks like it is a repaint of a piece I recognize and that is the werewolf's shirt (it's a tattered version of the lumberjack from a previous series). There are some new vesions/colors of previous pieces like the pom-pom, lady vampire's beehive, werewolf's head, and the black cat (I need this for my crazy [LEGO] cat lady/lad collection, but there are plenty of new elements like the mad scienctist's head, cat lady's hair, zombie cheerleader's hair, witche' hair & hat, and the venus flytrap guy's head piece....all pretty cool to add to a collection.  Even if you don't necessarily like them all there are some cool parts/figures that can be used to make scenes or your own custom figures.  I do wish we were getting more new original monsters rather than new variations on Frankenstine's Mon, the Werewolf, Witch, and Zombies, especially so soon after the Monster Fighters series, but still their overall appeal is pretty high.

Whether or not these will be the "official" series 14 could still go either way. They might be a themed set like LM or Simpsons, but they will most likely be released around Halloween (my guess since it has been the norm for September/October releases). I don't think they will be a direct tie-in to the Scobby-Doo sets since the minifigures in those are utilizing the tan flesh-color for the characters heads and hands, and the monsters in this collection are making use of the typical LEGO yellow for "normal" skin color. Another interesting note is the base plate that is used in the photo. It is not one that I recognize from current/previous sets. Though I'm certain it would not be one included in minifigure packs, it is very similar to the base plates used in the JUNIORS but with decorative grass on it.

However these figures are (if) released, I will most likely try to get them. I originally had no interest in collecting the Simpsons series, but later found myself getting most of them anyway for the body elements (its nice that they use the same hue of LEGO yellow) and the accessories, to make characters for my displays.

It will be interesting to see what comes of these.
