What do you want to see in your Fantasy RPG miniatures?

Female figures that I would be happy to let my wife see. I don't particularly mind about body shapes, but they should be dressed, equipped, and posed as what they are - highly-trained specialists doing dangerous jobs in hazardous locations.

I should also probably note that for monsters I'm only likely to be looking for mass-produced, cheap, pre-painted minis. Or cardboard pawns (Paizo-style) or tokens, or whatever. I'm not unlikely to pick up unpainted metal for PC minis, but I simply don't have the time to paint up large numbers of monsters.

Otherworld Miniatures pretty much nails it, especially their upcoming Kickstarter line of adventurers. Adventurers should look more like worn and beaten up folks who plunge into dark pits for a living and less a spiked superhero with a sword the size of an elephant. Just me, other like that. Adventurers who look like explorers and such. Reaper has some that fit that mold but too much that is all dungeonpunk for lack of a better term rather than practical. Look forward to seeing some of your stuff.
 

Very inexpensive sets of common monsters like goblins, skeletons, orcs , zombies. Like ten to fifteen bucks for 6 or 7 of them. Right now, really the cheapest way is the war hammer plastic boxes and my fiance would kill me for paying thirty bucks for some of those. Seriously I'd like to see more makers doing things like reap er's bones minis. Those look great, especially compared to the Pathfinder and D&d minis. Some of them just look cheap. Hell if you made affordable random minis in booster boxes like wotc did back in the day I'd eat that stuff up. The pathfinder minis are just pricey for what they are and the few you get in a booster.
 

I got to agree, If I hadn't inherited a huge pile of metal miniatures I would have stayed clear of metal and went straight to plastic. In D&D there is soooo many variations of monsters and Hero's.
For an example I have ~150 different "Hero" miniatures, and rarely do they match up to the PC's vision of their character.
As for monsters I have 20 goblins; on wargs, with spears, with swords... but I don't have a goblin mage/cleric; this common monster has so many different variations that its impractical to afford a metal miniature of every type.
Plus we need tons of monsters to pay a D&D game. My monster collection is easily 5X larger then that of hero's, and I've given up trying to represent them all.
