Kalibak Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 This might have already been suggested, but: I would like to see some OVERWEIGHT ADVENTURER figures. Male and female of all classes. That "full-figured" Henchwoman in the Bones V Power-Up is a great start and I'd like to see a lot more to choose from. P.S. This request is for Bones Black or Bones USA; my preferred material. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After actually getting and assembling one this year, I'm doubling down on that...those arms will go flying off instantly in metal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edrajai Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Following the pirate theme of Bones 5 I'd love to see some pirates that have parts of their bodies that are those of sea creatures (think Davy Jones' crew from Pirates of the Caribbean). Reaper actually has one and it's pretty cool looking (14566), but I'd love to have an actual crew of these to face off against the pirate PCs. Also following the pirate theme, I think a few "17th century royal navy" inspired minis would be neat (again, think about the ones that tried to capture Jack Sparrow at the beggining of the first film). I think those would add more variety to the range of enemies that pirate PCs could battle against, some sort of law-enforcer sailors. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iridil Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I would love a full size Christmas dragon - like a parent the current metal ones :) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see some maritime elves and dwarves and gnomes. Or even some dragonkin and other more nuanced races. Though I do understand there might be waning interest with those. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maredudd Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 It's been ages since we've seen any halflings () in bones so I figure we're due, so I'm putting in a request for Roderic Ambermead and Glitter. Especially a set in a more kinetic pose! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJNiles Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Big Trees for scatter terrain. Think Tree of Despair, but for Forrest encounters. it would be nice if a few of them had places for characters is 1" bases to sit in the branches. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksbsnowowl Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Reiterating my, and apparently several others’, desire for more expansions based on real-world historical civilizations. High on those lists are Norse, Egyptian, Mesoamerican, Persian, Celtic. Myself? A Norse-themed expansion would be my ultimate dream. If Reaper could make a longship, too, I’d max out the number I could buy of both. Something like a 15” long by 3” wide longship with one mast would be amazing. Maybe in the $25 - $30 add-on range? 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's already some good choices in the metal catalog that could help populate the numbers. Norse: There's several cool viking minis in the metal line already. Maybe supplement these with a few newer ones. I'd especially like to see non-human races like orcs, goliath, or firbolg. There's already plenty of dwarves with a pseudo-norse style.

Plus the longship that @ksbsnowowl mentioned. Yes, absolutely! And not the cuddly 5e incarnations of Firbolg; I want the 2e and 3e version. Large bearded giants that are bigger and stronger than an ogre. (Images aren’t allowed in this thread, but just do a google search for 2nd edition and 3rd edition Firbolgs; aside from being Large giants, they basically just look like burly Viking-esq men wielding two-handed swords. Not the broad-nosed, blue-skinned forest people, barely larger than a human, that 5e has altered them into.) Maskarr Stoneskin (04011) would make a great Goliath proxy in Bones. Also, Reaper has a fairly sizable back-catalog of Celtic warriors in metal. Searching for the “highland” tag brings up several great models. I’d love to see some of these brought to Bones. Highest on that list are: Highlanders (3) 03488 (which are 02243, 02242, and 02260) SHAMUS ROWAN 02241 WILLIAM O'RYAN 02238 SEAN O'RYAN HIGHLAND 02222 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They remind me of a friendly Scandinavian-style Troll-folk. So maybe both some "Wildfolk" and some oversized Norsemen. They seem to fill different mythological niches anyways 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksbsnowowl Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 (edited) They did have 3 Wildfolk in Bones 5, but I know it’s always nice to have multiple different class looks for something like that. The idea to use them as the more friendly Scandinavian trolls is an interesting one. Which brings me to another suggestion for a Norse expansion: Huldr or Huldrefolk. Huldr usually looked like comely young maidens, often dressed as milk maids, but had some telling inhuman feature if you looked closely. Either a cow or fox tail sticking out from under their skirts, or a back that was hollow, like that of a rotted-out tree trunk. I’d love to see what Christine van Patten could sculpt toward that concept. @Rainbow Sculptor’s Sirens in Bones 5 were fabulous.

Fnordlover Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 If there's a Norse Expansion it could use a big bad. Has anyone seen the movie The Ritual? That jotun was magnificent. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksbsnowowl Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 In Scandinavian lore, trolls came in all sorts of sizes, depending on location. In Sweden they tended to be small (man-sized and smaller), while in Norway they tended to be depicted as massive giants, sometimes as big as a mountain. I could really go for a massive troll, possibly with two heads. D&D Huge sized Fell Troll, for example. On a 3” base, roughly 4”-5” tall. Maybe created with a head option? If the trapezius muscles, clavicles, and head were a separate slotted part, you could have two such head sculpts; one that is a “normal” single head, and one that is two headed. Obviously Reaper has more experience than I in the feasibility of such a concept, but if they could pull that off... I would love it. I have not seen The Ritual. It was on my watch list, but I never got around to it. Next time we subscribe to Netflix, though... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SotF Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 You know, one thing that could be pretty cool would be a flying carpet set. Both a rolled up rug and an open one with a flight stand that's big enough to fit a couple minis on top of it. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
