What do you have planned for the line? You should definitely do a marilith. I have the metal one, but I haven't painted it yet, don't know when I will, and we really need a pretty marilith. The DDM one was way beyond ugly.
Also, I have this metal fury which I think is from Reaper.
And some spellcasters. We definitely need some of those.
And mosnters. And everything else! :)
I'm in the loop a little - I sit in on about a third of the LE planning meetings. But 99% of the time, I'm too busy on the production floor cranking out unpainted metal miniatures. I am a chair on the board that helps vote on which of the offerings up for consideration will go to the prototyping stage, but I'm not very deeply involved with LE as a whole.
With that disclaimer, We're looking at 6 non-dinosaur releases this fall, I'm pretty sure it's got wolves, a wizard type, and some fire/acid beetles. I can't recall the other 3. I'm thinking there was a ghast or a ghoul, but I'm drawing a blank. Not being on the final committee, I have no notes to refer to, I'm just trying to recall the voting process.
Some of the figures we showed in the past on our site never got prototyped in plastic - the version we showed was the metal copy we send to our supplier as a Master. Some of the figures got prototyped, and then voted down after that. For every 4 figures we release, we protoype 12. For every 12 we Prototype, 20 got made as Masters.
Plastics are a very different business model for us than the metal we've worked with for two decades, and we approach it much more cautiously - many of you could probably name a dozen or so companies and products that were sunk by pre-painteds, and I am pretty darn adamant that I not be one of them.
If you're at PaizoCon, Origins, or GenCon, I'd love to talk in person. (this goes for any of you, not just KaeYoss.)
