Petite nekkid females. Preferably fairies. There currently are none and I'd like to buy like.. 20. xD Probably more.

If they were Bones then they would be so very useful for any number of projects.

Look in the Familiars packs, there are a number of tiny female fairy like critters among them.

 

I suspect P02741D: Wings will allow conversion of a couple of them that don't have wings as well (though they will be big wings on such tiny models, perhaps better with halflings).

I would love to see some models for the city watch. Maybe a dashing captain and several not-so-perfect guards - including a smaller and a bigger (beer belly? :)) guy.

And some ladies. And a dwarf.

Some city-watch ladies with a beer belly? :)

With armor fitting around the beer belly like a mold around Jello?...

 

And... some villainous city guard, for the heroes to dispatch be the score.

So my thoughts on how to expand the Bones line:

 

Heroes: plenty of new heroes will be be needed to make a second KS appealing to players. I would go through the current minis by race/gender/class/weapon and look for where the gaps are to fill them out. I see that there are lots of longsword/shield and two bladed Heroes but many fewer with two handed weapons. I would be looking for Heroes with Greatsword, Greatexe, spiked chain (a favourite build of some of my players) and longbow.

 

Militia: rough looking fellows with piecemeal armour and polearms or simple weapons. These minis would by useful in RPG games and really useful in larger number for wargames, as would ...

 

Bandits: more of the same and chosen carefully they could double as Militia.

 

Town/City guards / regular troops: better armed fighers in tabards and good armour.

 

Generic Townsfolk: generic looking figures of varying wealth dresses in homespun, leather jerkins, silks etc.

 

Peasants: tired and worn out looking.

 

Animals: a range of animals both normal and dire creatures.

 

Flying creatures: small and medium sized flying creatures - raven, eagle, stirges, darkmantle, cloaker, wirmling dragon etc.

 

Fey: of all types

 

Transparent minis: more minis in clear plastics - air and water elementals, ghosts, shadow, oozes etc in blue, smokey and clear plastics

 

Large Vermin: large sized vermin along with a few more vermin types, centipede etc.

 

Non Human skeletons: animal and demi human skeletons

 

Devils and Demons: more of them :)

 

Dead and injured adventurers: to help mark fallen comrades or to discover in dungeons

 

More dungeon dressing

 

Some options that wow: more of those great options that grab the attention and capture the imagination :)

Well considering that the top selling Bones products to date are all monsters I would suggest that players are not the main buyers of Bones. It will be interesting to see what happens with the line once the KS models are all added to see if that reverses.

True, I didn't say that players were big buyers only that with more Heroes another KS would appeal more to players. :) I think that the more common creatures will still remain the best sellers as a player just wants a mini that looks like his or her current PC while a DM is going to buy several bugbears, knoll, orcs etc. It's one reason I suggest militia as you need lots of those in armies.

Some players are reaaaaaal finicky about getting a mini exactly as they see their character,

a convention asked me for a fighter with a bow, and I presented them with 02918: Mason Thronwarden, Ranger. The customer expressed joy at the perfect model, but before reaching the register, turned back to me and said he could not get that mini, he needed a Fighter with a Bow, and the package clearly marked him as a Ranger.

I'm really hoping for a male pixie at some point. There's literally no mini choice anywhere for one. For females, I've been using Squinkies. Yeah, I saId it.

LOL actually that mini is also tagged as "rogue" as well and is in studded leathers with a recurve short bow and a "sneaky" pose. If my PC was a more standard fighter type, more heavily armoured and with an English longbow then that mini wouldn't really fit.

 

Saying that, my group just uses minis for markers. We have an odd assortment of minis of which about 20 are useful as PCs and so a player just gets the one which is the closest fit. Two handed fighter? Then you get the bare-chested barbarian with the great sword.

That's why I put Fey on my list of Bones I'ld like to see - and not just the little ones. There are plenty of wood, water, earth sprites that I would like to see.
