I'm going to make an order for the three players in the Curse of the Crimson Throne game I'm running, but damned if I can't find what they need.
Two players have pewter minis that match up with their vision for their characters perfectly(the gnome's might as well have been made for him personally), but the other three have been out of luck:
NG Male Elf Cleric of Sarenrae, long-haired, weilds a scimitar/elven curved blade, dressed in priestly vestments, player is not really fond of the LOTR Movie vision of elves that kind of became standardized among many mini makers.
NG Male Half-Elf/Half-Varisian Human Rogue. Long, messy haired guy in stealth-friendly leather armor, sometimes a cloak, and always dual-wields a magical rapier and short-sword(and after the past few sessions he's never going to give that short-sword up). I get the vibe he would prefer a Han Solo-ish scoundrel's look about his guy. He has had absolutely no luck finding a match for his guy he was happy with on Reaper's site.
CG Female Half-Elf/Half-Shoanti Human Alchemist. New arrival to the game. Bald, heavily tattooed, wildly varying moods so far, and loaded with tons of mystical doodads and belts and pouches and etc. over her tribal clothing. Her melee weapon seems secondary to her image after her potions and bombs, so possibly any weapon in-hand could work.
So, anyone remember any good possibilities from any of the various lines out there that would probably be a good match? I really think they would prefer metal, but if there are any good looking plastics out there, it may work out for them.
(we also have a N Male Dwarf Wizard who may or may not be rejoining depending on the player's schedule, I'm getting minis for the others already, so might as well...)
If you have found some that could 'almost' work out for you, there is always the possibility to do a bit of conversion work on them, but depending on ones level of skill as a miniature-painter, this can be a bit overwhelming.

I'm ready to do some work if needed, but yeah, skill level and all that.
I'm confident I can fix the shield on the mini I found for the party fighter's cohort, at least, but then that looks like a simple fix.
They're not for me though. If they were the rogue's mini would have been settled a long time ago. :D I can definitely see the cleric's letdown with the minis made for elven priests though. Alchemist just has the misfortune of having a very uncommon look in mind for her character.
