while browsing the current catalog to build out my wishlist

Horses. a horse or two without any rider - one with a saddle, one bareback, maybe even one pack animal

an update to the vermin swarms. there's a fairly good bat swarm, but the spiders, beetles, and rats need an update with a little more 3-dimensionality to them.

arachno assassins in plastic

more slithe / not-sahuagin in plastic

an asian dragon (like the bones 5 daimyo dragon to retail)

As I’m currently planing for a Norse themed campaign I find miniatures for it lacking. Therefore:

 

vikings, skalds, runeweavers

nordic trolls, elves, dwarves 

nordic civilians 

longboat

runestones

 

and of course, I almost forgot, a Lindwyrm!! A great wingless dragon!!

Number one thing is Hobgoblins, ideally in non-samurai armor, male and females, and in sufficient numbers to build an army.

 

But I'd also like to see:

  • More Slithe to match the dark depths Slithe style
  • More Harpies to match the greek odyssey style
  • More Bathalians
  • More Bullywugs/frog people
  • More Briarlings/twig blights
  • Treants
  • Archfey

I enthusiastically second the frog people and treants; in particular, I'd like to see at least one friendly-looking treant, since all the tree people minis look so angry all the time.  I'd also love to see more mongrelfolk (perhaps a create-your-own set of them?) and some giff (hippo-men).  A naga would be nice, and some crawling claws.

 

But most of all, I really want an ormyrr.

Thinking a bit on the sets representing different world cultures (ie. Greek Odyssey, Daimyo, Lost Tombs of Hakir, etc.), a few on the top for me:

 

Southeast Asia/Philippines

  • Tagalog is the 4th most spoken language in the U.S. behind English, Spanish, and Mandarin
  • There's been recent success in entertainment such as Raya and the Last Dragon, Trese, and one of the best 5e supplement books is the Islands of Sina Una
  • There's lots of unique creatures and monsters you just don't see minis for like duwende, aswang, etc., each with several variations and room for creativity
  • Also some different options for beasts/familiars. Heck, even in Critical Role one of the cast members chose the Philippines Eagle for his Aarocokra.

Sub-Saharan Africa

  • Even bigger gap here as far as available minis compared to Asian mythologies
  • Admittedly know a lot less here (which is why I'm curious to know more), but know at least Pathfinder has the Mwangi Expanse to for fantasy RPG examples
  • Even more animals to add to Reaper's line like a hippo, rhino, elephant, giraffe, cheetah, ostrich, etc.

Norse

  • Cause I know that's been heavily requested, and may as well join the bandwagon

Forget fantasy miniatures, just the animals that they could release minis for here would be amazing.  I don't know if I could actually paint a giraffe mini well at all, but I definitely want to try.

77039 JANAN, FEMALE DRAGON SLAYER is a lovely sculpt. I'd love to see it redone in Bones USA or Bones Black to address some of the issues that exist in the original Bones with this miniature.

some more swarms.  Something like the murder of crows(03479), a pennaangalan(03618).

Swarms... yes. Ideally on a 50mm base. Many of the ones I see are on a 25mm base and don't strike fear in my players the way that they should.

yes, more swarms (crabs, crows, jellyfishes, piranhas, scorpions, snakes, wasps, worms)
though i like them at medium, i use multiple at once to represent the size

some more stuff that might be generally useful:
animals (large bats, buge bears, chimps, small eels, elephants, large goat/ram, kangaroos, large lizards, monkeys, opossums, large owls, pangolins, porcupines, large ravens, rays, rhinoceros, octopi/squids, tigers, tortoise/turtles, large vulture)
animated objects/mimics and matching props (anvils, boats, books/bookshelves, boulders, brooms, candelabras, carpets, carts, chairs, coffins, doors, fountains, frames, haystacks, ladders, mirrors, ovens, pillars, silverware swarms, statues, tables, weapon swarms, wells)
barghests
giant bugs (huge beetles, huge centipedes, large cockroaches, huge crabs/hermit crabs, large praying mantis, huge wasps)
couatl (medium & large)
dinosaurs (brontosaurus, elasmosaurus, pachycephalosaurus, protoceratops, pteranodon, quetzalcoatlus, spinosaurus, stegosaurus)
dragons to fit on a 2 inches base
elementals (ice, lightning)
plant monsters
undeads of non-humans

more specific:
wood giants [basically large elves]
leshys [plantfolks from pathfinder]
linnorm, sea serpent [alternatives to more dragons of similar sizes]
humanoid slimes
