Minis we would like to see (Fantasy Version)

[Maceswinger]

"Attractive" Female Hobgoblins!

[Dr.Bedlam]

Female orc pole dancers.

[Darkmeer]

Female Half-Ogress, preferably unarmed and clothed simply. Any of the following looks: "civilized" clothing, "Buddhist-monk" style clothing, or savage clothing (no nudity, please)

 

Female full ogress, no nudity, perhaps with brood?

 

Scaled 6 to 7 foot tall Trolls (thinking miniature trolls versus the larger ones), mostly for dense jungles. Perhaps with savage axes or spears?

 

Dwarf with Blunderbuss or Musket (interchangeable would be preferable). Either a "musketeer" or a "ranger" type would be fine. Male and female

 

Dwarven Fop with fencing sword. (male and female)

 

A Gnome with a spanner wrench and toolkit clothing (male and female) (perhaps a bit to chronoscape-like, but this is more fantasy to me)

 

A dwarf with a tool kit (similar to the gnome) (or perhaps with a spanner wrench as well)

 

A blacksmith of any or all giant species (the newer Fire Giants would be wicked cool with a combat blacksmith).

 

Werewolf wielding a weapon and/or wearing armor appropriate to their shape. Normal "Human" sized werewolf would be preferred (I'm honestly thinking about the Lupin race from D&D here).

 

There are more, I'm sure, but this will do for now.

[Wilwarin]

Fighters (male and female) with metal armor on that have been "enlarged" like with the "Enlarge Person" spell from D&D. It's so hard finding something that matches one's character if it's not an ogre, giant, etc. lol

[rgtriplec]

Some Elephant men like the charity one. An elephant and war elephant would be nice too.

 

A couple cavalry guys (horse optional)... a highlander, an elf etc... that have a head sprue and extra arms than can be 3 different poses.

[ThornDJL7]

Grimlocks

[Kelcore]

I think this one: http://www.reapermini.com/Miniatures/Skoli/latest/02443#detail/02443_concept and her male counterpart are about due for a resculpt.

[AYAM1MAYA]

Yamabushi

 

Greetings all who take the time to read this post,

 

I must be frank and give voice to a certain opinion that I hope resonates with somebody else out there. I must say I tire of the shirtless Kung Fu monk stereotype with Chinese weapons. I would love to see more Japanese styled minis especially monks/clerics inspired by the yamabushi. If such exists, perhaps someone can point me in the right direction; otherwise, I hope some day soon some artist similarly inspired by the awesomeness that is the yamabushi sculpts something in that vein.

 

Regards,

 

Ed

Well, there are a number of "monks" from Reaper (both male and female) who are not shirtless, but they do all look quite Chinese in inspiration. There are also a few Samurai and Ninja figures in the catalog at least one of which might pass for a yamabushi.

 

I would agree, however, that you can not have too many Japanese fantasy figures, so I would love to see some more! Maybe even some monster figures like Tengu or Oni?

[sniffles]

I can't agree that there are too many Chinese-style minis. I feel there are too many Japanese-style figures.

 

I'd like to see:

More Chinese-style figures, of both genders and all races, but not monk-class figures. Figures suitable for other classes.

More wizards who aren't wearing long robes or gowns or carrying staffs. Why can't wizards wear more practical clothing?

[AYAM1MAYA]

Yes.

 

Figures that are less literal interpretations.

[sniffles]

Yes.

 

Figures that are less literal interpretations.

Less literal interprations of what? I'm guessing you mean "Less literal interpretations of D&D-type character classes", which I'd agree with.

 

On to my wishes:

A non-mounted version of DH03264 Roderic Ambermead.

Some riding animals other than horses - dogs, rams, ponies, donkeys/mules, etc.

Pack animals - same varieties as above.

Dark elves who aren't covered in skulls, spikes or spider motifs.

[BlueWeasel]

Couldn't you just paint regular elves with dark skin then?

[WizardOne]

Dark elves who aren't covered in skulls, spikes or spider motifs.

If there are no spiders/skulls/spikes whatsoever how would anyone know they are Dark Elves as opposed to just High Elves or Forest Elves or just Elves? But having asked that: the Darkreach Elves Warlord faction might interest you — the SSS factor is much less apparent amongst those models.

 

I'd like a few dwarfs who were armed with horn bows or recurve bows — you always see dwarfs with either Xbows or black-powder Handguns.

[Ler]

Well I got two of my earlier wishes. A Queen (Ileosa) and Alice! I still really want some servants/maids though, but I have a few others I thought of:

 

1) I'd like to second the call for things like Tengu and stuff. There's not enough spirits and things from eastern folklore around and they would be great. I have a couple of Penagollan from some manufacturer I don't even know the name of (I think they are no longer around), but they are pretty basic. Still pretty cool though!

 

2) A Zombie Dragon - I have the old OoP GW one (the only dragon they have made that I actually like) and it's still a great sculpt even alongside the Pathfinder Red Dragon, but I think based on the stuff coming out recently (such as said red dragon), a Reaper one could be amazing.
