[QUOTE="Michael_R_Proteau, post: 3280472, member: 48658"] [b]Minis I use/want...[/b] 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. -M [/QUOTE]
