Hey all we all know Paizo listens! They do rock for that. So this thread will be what do you all want to see in new miniatures.
One thing I have always wanted to see is a Tarrasque.
I know it's colossal and would have limited table time but do the gargantuan dragons have mass table time? I think not. I would love to see this get made as a "miniature" or a pawn for that matter something other than a big sheet of paper on the map saying Tarrasque.
Who is with me?

The Tarasque would be nice, but what I'd really like to see is a 12 pack of different Titans (6 male and 6 female). One of each of the giant types (Frost, Fire, Hill, Stone, Storm, Taiga, Marsh, Wood, Cloud, Rune, Cyclops) both male and female (Male Storm giants are sadly lacking, as are females in PPM of all of the others). Female, Orcs, Ogres, and other horde monsters, almost all horde beasts are male. Some decent Male Drow (almost all Drow minis are female). I want to see equal gender representation among the monster races. That and a Mammy Graul mini would be schweet as well.
Leo The Titans would be an amazing addition to the minis line. You're right about mixing up the sexes as well you can not very well stumble on and Orc tribe consisting entirely of men.
I'd like to see a Shadow made of smoky translucent black plastic that looks like the art from the Bestiary--something crooked and evil that could somehow convey the incorporealness of that monster.

And flat! I use a rebased Dreamblade mini right now for a shadow, because it's 2-D.

I dunno. I'm not a fan of minis beyond the Huge category. Down at Small and Medium there's just no substitute... it's hard to find anything the right size that fits a given monster. But once you start getting to 4" bases the minis hang over other squares anyway so size precision ceases being a concern. At that size you can go to a toy store and pick up various cheap things that fit a lot of roles. $30+ for a mini that's going to be used once just doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
I have hundreds of minis now but I still primarily want common things, not specific-freak monsters.
That's just my opinion.
When the OP says "New Miniatures" I assume in any new sets:
I would like to see more generic useful figures. Spell Effects for example. Or Swarms that are flat enough to stand another figure on them. Or things like a Mule.
But to be honest, I am a mini adict so I will be happy with what ever they send out. :-)
I would love to see a line of metal minis for all the new races that have been getting added to Pathfinder. I've been going crazy trying to find suitable minis for most of the Featured races and Uncommon races, including the following: kitsune, ratfolk, vanara, tengu, and undine.
While this has lead me to learn a lot about piecing together custom miniatures, I'd rather not have to deal with 'miniature surgery' every time me or one of my players chooses an unusual (but pathfinder official) race.
Another add-on to the female humanoids - Pregnant female humanoids, A Noblewoman who is expecting an heir and gets kidnapped (or who has just run off with the father of her child who is not her husband), A pregnant peasant girl (great for when goblins attack the village square), A pregnant Goblin, Orc, Ogress, An Amazon, a Dwarf, maybe a Hill Giant (these are all Either barbaric or tough races which I would expect to fight/adventure upto a few days [in some cases, perhaps hours] before they deliver). Also two that simply must be pregnant - Avatar (or Aspect or whatever) of Lamashtu, and a cultist (Witch or Cleric) of same.
Also how about some children? A young squire, a market urching, the farmer's son, the merchant's apprentice, a goblin whelp, Orc children, Gnoll cubs, Ogre pups, Bugbear cubs, you get the idea. Make them small or medium and give them a common slot. Got a group that engages in almost genocidal attacks on humanoids, drop a couple of these on the field as non-combatants and see how they react, it'll cause most no psychopaths to at least pause before slaughtering the rest of the tribe - and this is especially important for morally driven classes like the Paladin, Cleric, (and if played with an eastern flavor and not just as a combat monkey) Monk.
I'd love to see:
More variations of demons & devils & undead
Snakes (large base)
Female versions of common monsters (i.e. orcs) and some less common, too (i.e. giants)
More variations of aberrant creatures
Shadar-kai (not sure if these are in Pathfinder or not, but I have enjoyed them in D&D games)
More cultists (matching some of the gods)
Gargoyles (variety - i.e. crystal - transparent; obsidian, runic, etc.)
I like having both the availability of lower level creatures because those are likely to get the most use in game play and having the variety that you offer to have the options for creatures never produced before.
I enjoy seeing all the new minis that are created. There are so many good ones made that I never considered, but now do.
Thanks.

Leo some huge ideas I'm going to simplify we need "sets" of the hordes to include Orcs, Goblins, Giants, Kobolds, Dwarfs, elves, And just humans. The sets need Women(some pregnant), Children, common people, warriors, aristocrats, Casters, leaders, and rabble. Specific Pregnant minies needed are Avatar (or Aspect or whatever) of Lamashtu, and a cultist (Witch or Cleric) of same.
Guys I think I got the first week listed properly I want to keep this going and If you like some ones idea please say so so I can add it to the list. and spread the word so we can give Paizo a Huge list and lost of suggestions.

This +1, though I think he meant Ochre Jelly (the monster) and not yellow ochre (the oil paint)[but I could be wrong . . .]

yesss... uh, i was in a rush when i posted that, yeah! that's the ticket!
Female (name monster here).
I'm glad they're working to address this, but personally I'd like them to combine correcting the gender imbalance with covering new monsters. I see various requests for a male and female of every giant (for example). I'd much rather they produce female sculpts of some of those things for which there is no mini of either gender - at least initially.

I agree to the Tarrasque. Also an elephant mini would be pretty awesome. Oh and yeah, it would be nice having and "advanced race guide" themed set just so I could get at least one miniature for every uncommon and featured race. (male and female if you could swing it.) Most of all though I would really like to see Sajan and some other monk miniatures made for the pathfinder battles line. Monk minis are far and few between in the miniatures world, and i feel kind of lame using unarmed sorcerers and wizards to represent one of the physical classes in the game. (We're talking dudes that run around beating stuff up with there bare hands here, not some wimpy caster with a spell book.)
