I would love to see the OotS characters done in plastic/3D, just for the collectible fun of it all. Roy, Belkar, Elan and the rest would all be simple sculpts and paints anyhow.
Other than that, get the SRD monsters finished, then move on to MM2, MM3, Fiend Folio. Basically get monsters finished.

I use humans most, followed by demi-humans then humanoids. I'd like to see variations of all the core classes, and common multi-classes, for each sex of each race. I'm very surprised they don't have that yet.
This falls into my "what do I need" category. More Eberron specific miniatures.
What don't I need? All those oddball extra-planar creatures they keep making.

Minis I use/want...
I have been getting these since Harbinger, though I seem to buy less of each successive set.
What I use a lot of:
-basic humanoids (kobolds, goblinoids, gnolls, orcs, ogres, trolls, etc.)
-Mindlless Undead (skellies & zombies)
-generic soldier/guard types (Soldiers of Cormyr, Men at-Arms, Dalelands militia, city guards,human bandits, etc.)
-Classic monsters (fiends, giants, lycanthropes, etc. intelligent undead).
-PC types
What I could use/want more of:
-fey (dryads, pixies, nymphs, etc.)
-More uncommon classic giants like they did with the Hill giant barbarian- an uncommon frost and fire giant in particular
-A male and female representation for each core class and race combo
-More mounted figures
-classic MM monsters not yet released
-classic look versions of monsters like the manticore and wyvern whose appearance has changed from 1E->3E (though I would be ok if they did this as something like a special Icons product outside the regular set list)
-more minis of spell effects that last (I love the Magnificent Egos' dweomer line for things like spectral hand, spiritual wepaon etc. but I have so little time to paint and the plastic is so much more durable, that I would like to see some minis like that (Walls of..., Bigby's Hand, etc.) The Living Flaming Sphere works for this well.
-classic Iconic characters from previous versions like Morgan Ironwolf, Black Dougal, Melf, The Mad Hermit, etc.
-another huge set that completes the huge elementals and adds to the huge fiends available
-more aspects of the classic demon princes and lords of the hells (we got Demogorgon and Orcus, I want Jubilex, Asmodeus, Yeenoghu, etc.).
-Dragons of the sizes/types not yet released (small green, medium blue, whites, large gold, etc.)
What I don't want:
-dinosaurs-why-well since I rarely skirmish I don't need skirmish stats for them and any good dollar store or even Wal-Mart has bags of plastic dinos on a usable scale for much cheaper than DDM would cost (same goes for a lot of animals and vermin, but some like wolves, snakes, and spiders are common enough D&D elements that I don't so much mind their presence
-new monsters created for the DDM line that they later stick in a later volume of MM (hello Wrackspawn and Bloodhulk I am looking at you)-there's enough classic/quintessential figures for D&D that have not been done yet and a lot of slots are used as support for new products/particular campaign settings that I don't want spots used as R&D for future monster manuals.
-campaign setting specific minis that are so limited that they cannot be used as stand ins for other things-Elminster can be a generic wizard, Drizzt a generic Drow, the Valenar can be desert dwelling NPC's, an Emerald Claw soldier can be a cleric or fighter, etc, but I am having trouble figuring out what to do with the Lord of Blades mini I have in the bag and noone seems interested in trading for.
-more sculpts of the iconic PHB characters that a;ready have figures released-no need for another Tordek or Mialee, but the iconics that haven't had figures yet could be ok as PC types.

More Sahuagin and Locathah minis would be good. As far as I know there is an Uncommon Sahuagin mini but no Locathah.
A common Troll would be good but extremely unlikely since it is large. I'm having a lot of trouble getting a hold of a few of these.
Mounted characters and/or plain old horses would be good.
A wider variety of demihuman races. A lot of the demihumans minis seem to be similar. Finding a Halfling Rogue mini isn't too hard. Finding a Halfling Druid character on the other hand.
