The parts assortment are average. The H2O drink which simply refer to as water, accompanied with a bottle cap and straw on top of it. The parts are nicely done together and the striking accessory is certainly the Dance Instructor's hairpiece which is just so iconic to her active lifestyle in that particular era.
She has minimal arm printing. I think her hairpiece looks cool but a bit too over-the-top, I don't think it will be useful for too many minifigures.
While the Dance Instructor is pretty good looking, with a wild, colourful design and a unique new hairpiece, it just feels too similar to the Fitness Instructor from Series 5. The concept is the same, with the loud leotards, big hair and even the same sweatband which makes it seem like they were quite lazy when it came to recycling the design.
I have to admit, I don't think that Series 17 is nearly as strong as some of the previous series. There are very few "must have" figures for me in this series, in fact, I think my list only consists of the: Chef, Vet, Corn Cob Guy, Hot Dog Guy, Rocket Boy, and Elf Maiden. Six out of sixteen isn't a good ratio for "must haves." On the flip side, I generally don't care for the Surfer, Strongman, Butterfly Girl, Gladiator, Yuppie, or Fitness Instructor. That's six figures that I find generally uninspiring (again, not a good ratio).
I can't say I find this figure appealing but I do like her hairpiece, and the white 1x1 'nipple' piece on the top of her bottle is sure to be more useful than the existing colours it's made in.
The costumed characters such as the rabbit, pig, and hot dog have been wildly popular, so it's nice that the Corn Cob Man is one of the most common in this series. The other two common figures are the Circus Strong Man, which seems an odd choice, and the Mystery Character.
