Okay for most attractive male I went with lem, it was a toss up between him and Ezren. Sajan is ugly, Valeros is vanilla, Harsk is Ugly, but Lem has a look to his features that strikes me as very roguish, very Harrison Ford ala episode IV. Ezren has those Sean Connery/most interesting man in the world good looks, but in the end he's just too old. And Setyiel is waaay too pale, seriously get some vitamin D in your system.
For most attractive female, Amiri just has a stupid expression on her face (biting her lower lip while peeling back her upper lip to expose her upper teeth, I've seen people make that face in real life too, it makes you look ignorant), and too many scars. Seelah reminds me of that Asian lady from mad TV "She look like a man". The other ladies all are in contention, lini, sioni, merisial, and kyra are all very attractive, but in the end the one who draws my eye the most is kyra, maybe because she's so covered up that there's still mystery even though just looking at her face you can see she's hot, I don't know, I do know I'm a fan of that skin tone, maybe that's why. In the end out of four very able contenders I'm going with Kyra.
Most talented is the bard, doesn't matter which person it is, Bards are the most talented and even if you don't think so they've got the skills to convince you otherwise.
Most likely to be eaten by a monster, once again lem, he's already bite sized, and that expression on his face just screams "I rush recklessly into danger".
Hottest new iconic. This is actually a hard one as there are three very strong contenders. The inquisitor is nice because she's full figured and you don't see a lot of full-figured attractive ladies in this medium, granted the tusks are a little off putting, but she has very nice features aside from that. Then there are the two "perfect 10s" in the witch and the oracle. The oracle is damn hot, but I'm sorry the eyes are important when factoring attractiveness and she's got no pupils which while not a significant strike against her, lowers her score a bit. Then the witch, she just looks like she's gonna take you into the bedroom and show you a thing or two, that expression says it all, and that expression says hot. In the end it is a contest for the HOTtest new iconic, and I can't resist that look with that body.

Needs more hot Arabic chicks…you know…just for political correctness.
I don't know, the iconics are pretty diverse. You've got African decent in Seelah, Romani with Seoni, Amiri is supposed to be, I don’t know, Cimmerian? You’ve got your Arabic with Kyra, and of course Lini representing the often overlooked Gnome minority.

Most attractive male: Valeros. I'm a very heterosexual male, and I'd hesitate a moment before turning him down. XD
Most attractive female: Merisiel. Looks that are to die for... probably quite literally.
Most talented: Lem. But he cheats by being a bard.
Most likely to be eaten by a monster: Valeros. Seriously, is there a picture of him in the Core Rules where he ISN'T about to be dragged off and tentacle-ra... er... eaten? Apparently Valeros is so man-pretty even the monsters can't say no.
Hottest New Iconic: Witch. SOO much the witch. Sorry, Merisiel, but you have been replaced. Please don't stab me too much.

For me personally, Merisiel has fairly empty stare and she's too skinny, and Seoni's tattoos are a turn-off. (One tattoo I can handle, but the whole body canvas not so much.) Kyra I would put second though.
It's a difficult choice for me because there are aspects that I like in all of them. I personally like the look in Merisiel's eyes. There's something otherworldly there. And while I generally don't like tattoos, it works for Seoni. And agreed. Kyra has a kind of mysterious quality I can't put my finger on.
And while I get people attracted to Amiri's "tough girl" mystique, it's not my cup of tea. The voters don't lie though. She's in first place so far. We'll see how it turns out.

Yup. That's what happens when you ask people for opinions ;) I honestly don't get what people see in Merisiel, she's at the bottom of the list for me - despite Lini being short and Seelah being masculine, they're both still well-proportioned for their respective sizes, while Meri's just too darn skinny :P - but hey voters will be voters. :)
Adding in the new iconics does knock Amiri down a few bars though, to make room for the Witch and Inquisitor :P Now just needs more redheads :D

Most Attractive Male: -
Meh. An extremely mediocre bunch. I abstain.
Most Attractive Female: Amiri
Lini is a close second. Kyra looks like she could be fun if you could get her to stop being so damn serious. Seoni has a nice body, but I dunno...something about her just doesn't click with me. Merisiel is just too damn skinny, and the whole gem on her forehead thing is just a bit wierd. And Seela just doesn't appeal to me on any level.
Most Talented: Lem
Well, he is the bard. And the other skill monkey, Merisiel, is taking some serious skill point penalties due to the fact that the most sophisticated thought that runs through her mind on a regular basis is "stabbity-stab-stab".
Most Likely to be Eaten by a Monster: Lem
There are two morsel-sized iconics. And only one of them is protected by a snow leopard (with the ability to turn into it's twin snow leopard...or something even more intimidating).
Hottest New Iconic: Witch
Well, I'm a straight guy, so it was down to the ladies. I'm not so much of a freak that the Inquisitor even had a chance (actually, I didn't realized that the Inquisitor was a female until I read this thread). And the Witch just plain out-hots the Oracle by a long shot. Easy win.
how the heck does amiri have three votes, do you see the face she's making?

Heck if she was a redhead she'd be irresistible in my book.
Strong tough women rock! If she were really smart too then....oh my!
She could eat a cheese burger and have some ink IMO too, but YMMV. ;)

How about one more category? Most Attractive God and/or Goddess.
I vote Iomedae
To me she looks like a twelve year old boy. I gotta go with Sarenrae instead
Are there any decent sized color pictures of the APG iconics anywhere?
I think I remember James saying that full color pictures and their bios will be released soon to build up hype for the APG.

If you read The Crypt of the Everflame Playtest you'll see Amiri isn't a slouch in the mental department, especially with the way Lisa portrays her.

Does this help?
I haven't seen color iconics for APG.

Hottest Male; the Half Orc Assassin guy from the core rulebook (Sajan the monk is close behind)
Hottest Female; The Aasimaar Cleric from the Bestiary (Merisiel is not too far behind)
Hottest New Iconic (Master Spy from the APG spoiler)
Most Talented; Merisiel (Imagine how flexible she must be)
Most likely to get eaten by a monster; Aasimaar Cleric From the Bestiary, my tentacles could fondle her all day long.

Most attractive male: don't know, Harsk is male right?
Most attractive female: Lini she's just too cute.
Most talented: No idea what you're asking here, but I'll vote for Kyra because I like her
Most likely to be eaten by a monster Lem it was always going to be Lem. This catagory should have just been most likely to be Lem.

Harsk is only iconic with a proper beard.

Ugh. The selection is hardly generous.
Most attractive male :
Merisiel. Normally I'd pass, but if I was away from shore long enough, eh, maybe.
Most attractive female :
Seltyiel. Choices are pretty damned limited here. At least she's a little built.
Most talented :
Amiri seems to be the only one out of the bunch that knows how to get by properly.
Most likely to be eaten by a monster :
Lem. At least the other bite-size has a bloody tiger watching her back.
Hottest New Iconic:
HALF-ORC INQUISITOR. A classier lady you will never find.

I know it can be confusing with elves but I'm pretty sure Merisiel is female. She could use a couple of double bacon cheeseburgers, but I'm confident Merisiel is female.
Good call on the inquisitor though. ;)

It's an elf. Doesn't really make a difference either way, really.

A man of taste!

Seriously, what?
Also toss in the fact that the player is James Jacobs.
But it is true:
-- Since they cannot grow proper beards, that there is something "wrong" with Elven "males."

Most attractive male - don't make those calls normally but I'll go with Sajan. I have a monk bias.
Most attractive female - Amiri, without a doubt! She's strong and sexy. Plus those scars are just the icing on the cake (let's me know she can definitely be down with kinky).
Most talented - Lem (though I'd say Merisiel is a close second).
Most likely to be eaten by a monster - Seoni. Sorcerors have always come off to me as all looks but no brains. And never was this more apparent than in Rise of the Runelords 5: Sins of the Saviors pg 20. Merisiel may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but at least she's avoiding the earth elemental. Seoni's actually playing tag with hers..and she was just made "it." Ouch!
Special Category:
Hottest New Iconic - the witch looks good, no doubt but I'm picking the half-orc inquisitor. Why? She looks that good in spite of being a half-orc. That's a serious handicap to overcome, but she does it.
