It would be sweet having miniatures for some of the Pathfinder monsters that have been revisited by Paizo. Specially kobolds, bugbears and hobgoblins.
I hope things are going right with Crocodile Games. I'd like to see the catalog will expanded past the 25 blisters barrier sooner than later, and the new product scheduled have left me wondering why the minis are going so slowly.
Also resin minins tend to be cheaper.
And come randomized in a sealed box with crappy painting and low quality casts.
I prefer them just the way they are the only problem is the wait betwen the releases, they take forever.

I wish a company would put out (first off) minis that you can't get from a dozen different companies. Need Orcs? There's GW, Reaper, Confrontation (Best Orcs ever...), etc... need Gnolls? Um...there are some from the D&D plastics (Many of which look more like a Pomeranian than a hyena), maybe you can find older chainmail minis, Reaper has 6 or 7... Bugbears, same story, kobolds, likewise. Gnomes...
(B) Wouldn't it be great to have small boxed sets, Warbands, or what-not, like Ral Partha did in days of your (And Grenadier did as well...).
A lot of folks aren't into pre paints, and a lot love them (I have thousands of older metals that I will never paint, but I try...).
But, something like this would be a dream for me...for example.
Kargan's Reavers (PPP Gnoll Brigand,and his band)
Kargan Marrowsucker (Gnoll Leader with paired hand axes)
Brugg the Brash ( Gnoll Heavy, greatsword wielder)
Olagrym the Mad ( Ogre Berserker, wielding a fallen tree or something)
4 Gnoll Melee Troopers, 2 poses, axemen, swordsmen
4 Gnoll Scouts with 2 with Bows, 2 w Javalins
Scorpion team Small Ballista and 2 Gnolls
Beastmaster Gnoll & 2 Attack Hyenas
2-4 small pieces of gear, maybe stack of loot sacks, or a flat disk marking a trap square, spiked log etc...
20 pieces of so, plastic, box price of 30-40 bucks, I'd buy a few...
There's a market for ready-made and USEFUL encounter options, as oppossed to people spending hundreds of bucks on their random PPP minis, hoping to get enough bugbears to be useful...
Even no Pre Painted...in the style of the GW boxes of goblins, etc...Man, it would be cool to be able to put my own Gnolls together.
And for those whi hate plastic, I feel you, but lugging a bunch of metal to Gencon is not fun, for those of us who don't live close/have a car. Space in my luggage is limited, for stuff I'll be bringing home, Y'Know?
