OK, the Pathfinder Battles Gallery shows pictures of 49 previewed or announced minis out of the announced 55 in this set:
That leaves 7 minis to go (or 6, if Brinebones is considered to be part of the total). So, what do you think (or hope) is still to come?
We know we will get the Ship's Whore for certain, as it was displayed at PaizoCon and there is a repaint of it in the Undead Builder set. A Hammerhead Shark has also been mentioned, although I don't know if that was speculation or based on a Paizo hint. After that I would expect/hope to see a Reefclaw, Mr Plugg, Mr Scourge, and maybe Cut-Throat Grok, as those all figure prominently in the first module or
Beyond that I have no idea what else Paizo may still have up its sleeve. A Giant Crab? Giant Frog? What NPCs or Monsters do you all still think we need, either specifically for this AP or as a mini that also appears in other adventures?
Yeah, with only one release to be announced it looks like Plugg and/or Scourge aren't going to make the cut. Reefclaw, maybe? They're kinda cool, figure in the first book of the AP, and could be useful for other adventures as well.
Personally I'd rather that Paizo release the iconic minis in their own evergreen line rather than mixing them into the Battles releases. The figures are nice and all, but unless they appear in a given AP (other than in the artwork) or your players use the iconic minis to represent their characters (mine don't) then they really aren't that useful, and take up release slots that might be more profitably filled by other AP-themed miniatures. If I want a mini of Seyetial or the Gunslinger let me buy them separately, and leave the Battle release slots to figures that I can actually use while playing the AP.
