For me, the real problem with the iconics was that they were, frankly, kinda lame. Almost none of them had any personality and attitude that made them interesting or distinctive.
Why was Regdar the default fighter? Well his armor and equipment was at least interesting to draw. Tordek was just an uninteresting character in the extreme.
Now in the PSAs, he's fantastic (see: D&D Debates: Elves Versus Dwarves).
Oh, and In Before the Lock!
