So with the relase of the Garganutian Orcus Icon comming out in only a few months, It's got me thinking what other minatures you would like to see in an Icons line. I for one would like to see some more of the Gods who got little more then Large or Huge Size aspects. They arent imposing at all. So lets see

Timat, Demogorgon, Lolth, Bahamut,  just to name a few. What would you guys like to see if the Icons line is continued? also please no negitive comments this is simply a what if, what you like to see.

Obviously, the Big T deserves a figure.

Going through the Compendium for Gargantuans, turns out relatively few of the high-tier monsters really are that big. Even the ones you mentioned are merely Huge. In fact, very oddly, most of the high-tier dragons are larger (albeit weaker) than their gods!

 That does give a good place to start, though. We have a Gargantuan Blue, Black, and White already. A Gargantuan Red and Green would help round it out (the red could be Ashardalon, no iconic green that big though).  I doubt we'd see Gargantuan version of the Brown, Grey, or Purple dragons, though they would be nice. Metallics would be awesome too, but I see them as less likely in general. We may get a Gold, but I doubt we'll ever get a Cobalt.

A Dracolich was at one time planned along with Orcus. It's probably still on the table.

Beyond that, we're looking at really obscure, niche creatures. Dagon is possible, but not as popular as his boss Demogorgon. The Primordial Hydra would be cool but is kinda niche. I would pay good money for an Astral Dreadnaught, but I don't think most people know what that is. Other things like the Giant Squid, Storm That Walks, Carpet of Flesh, Century Worm, and Angry Mob I just don't see getting figures ever.

Finally, there are quite a few unique gods, demons, and primordials like Mual-Tar, Solkara, etc. that, while unique and interesting, do not have anywhere near the following guys like Orcus do. Many of them are new to this edition or were really obscure additions to 3rd. 

So in closing, I predict the Dracolich, the Tarrasque, a Red (possibly Ashardalon), and a Green. Then, either Dagon or some other, non-unique monster like the Hydra if those sell well.

I didn't think of it but oh heck yes an Astral Dreadnaught would ROCK. Dracolith would be useful... and yes we need to round out the dragons.

A Tiamat mini would be awesome, but it's realese should've been timed with the end of the Scales of War adventure path.
Also, I would be first to buy the Tarrasque! I just love this monster.

Problem: Tiamat is Huge, not Gargantuan.

I know, it seems weird that she's the GOD OF DRAGONS and yet her most powerful offspring are larger than her, but that means you can pick up a Tiamat figure as part of a Huge minis set. Same thing with Lolth.

Tharizdun would be cool, of course he would be more concept art then anything, and needs to get game stats. But considering he will be the big bad in my campaign I need a mini for him.

I wish they would hurry up and realease a green dragon to finish off and round out the chromatic dragon icons they've already done. Then they should do the Terrasque.

 Borys, the Dragon of Tyr, please.

A tarrasque would be great, as well as a green dragon...heck, fill out all the dragons.

I agree with the idea of various Far Realm elder god-like beings.  Those would be frakkin' awesome.

Tarrasque... by a mile!

I'm fully behind any "capstone" 30th level+ massive figure for an icon. 

As for Orcus - THANK YOU - it is freaking cool to fight the monster on the cover on the Monster Manual as the main "boss" in your campaign's capstone encounter!  And have the actual miniature for it!!

I'm afraid Tarrasque may not be an obvious option actually.

The Big T does have a great history, but in 4th he is kinda overshadowed by other boss-level creatures.
The previous (3.5) Tarrasque wasn't the highest CR creature as well, but it had some crazy abilities (DR 15/epic, regeneration 40, spell-reflecting shell) and occupied different tier than god-like creatures and demon princes. The 4e one has Immune charm and fear, resist 10 all and saving throws +5 which doesn't sound nearly as exciting and has to fight for DM's attention with beings like Orcus, Demogorgon or Tiamat.

So yeah, there is a nasty shadow over the Tarrasque.
