I still have yet to find the perfect mini for my Tiefling two-weapon Ranger. Is Wizards taking requests??? :p

I also would'nt mind a badass Dwarf great-weapon fighter with an execution axe, or a nice selection of different types of Genasi.

A Halfling Wizard, a Dragonborn Swordmage, a Half-Orc Barbarian, etc, etc.

How many other people out there are still searching for the perfect mini for their character? Add it to this wishlist!!

I want a Divine Dragonborn and a heavy armored Tiefling. Also something to match my Gnome Bard better.

A Deva Avenger would be cool too, just for the look of it.

I'd be happy if they made some Campaign Setting-themed Player's Guide Heroes sets, with about four boosters for each guide (just for that extra touch of variety). Examples might include:

Forgotten Realms Heroes 1: Male Drow, Female Firesoul Genasi, Male Stormsoul Genasi

FRH 2: Male Earthsoul Genasi, Female Watersoul Genasi, Female Windsoul Genasi

FRH 3: Male Watersoul Genasi, Male Firesoul Genasi, Female Drow

FRH 4: Female Earthsoul Genasi, Female Stormsoul Genasi, Male Windsoul Genasi

I deliberately left the classes of the Forgotten Realms Heroes ambiguous since there's a fair amount of variety there already (six races times two genders equals twelve minis). The Eberron minis would follow a similar pattern, with four minis of each race in the PG and two minis of each gender within the races. I'm surprised that Wizards didn't think of this already (or did they...?)

Oh, and MORE GNOMES PLZ LOL :P

A mini with a decent paint job? Does that count?

How about a female dwarven rogue.

-Female Archer (doesn't matter the race as long as it looks "human-like" (ie. human, eladrin, elf, half-elf, etc))

-Eladrin Spearman (or woman) (spear + shield)

Male Tiefling "wizard." I want that loosely interpreted, due to holding out for the necromancer class.

Would a Female Tiefling really kill you guys? Just one? I don't care what class. Most of what I hear is for a warlock or rogue, which could work both ways if made right.

Well I really don't care about what models they produce since I always Troll through the net to find the right model and paint it up my self.

BUT I think Dragon/Dungeon should have articles on how to customize D&D minis for it seems quite a few people need them.

There was one in Unhallowed, although it uses the old artwork. To the OP, there is also a Halfling Wizard (called Halfling Enchanter, from Desert of Desolation).

As I understand it, Peter is always open to ideas.

Yeah I have that halfling miniature, and although he serves his purpose, I still feel like there is yet to be a better suited Halfling Wizard mini. I picture the little guy wearing some kind of long flowing cloak (well long for a halfling) and a kickass wand!

As long as these PHH mini's are coming out I will most likely keep buying them. Hell I even think that if they increased the PHH sets to 5 PC mini's and maybe released 3 male and 2 Female per set I would'nt mind buying all 6 boxes.

Since picking up 4th Edition last year and discovering that it was miniature centred I was delighted! Back when I DM'd 2 edition I had a whole bunch of the old led Ral Partha mini's, and I was using them way back then and my players were loving it! After I bought the first 3 Core Rulebooks for 4e, I knew I was going to need more mini's, so I sold my old Led's for around $600 and used that money to buy Plastic DDM mini's. And I haven't stopped! I finally just got my case of Dungeon Delves! And I can't wait to use them!!

I don't often check this forum -- I spend more time in the D&D Miniatures forum (http://forums.gleemax.com/forumdisplay.php?f=384).

When the figures were chosen for these first two heroes series, the intended distribution method were in the old random boosters. I didn't put any female tieflings in the set because we've had the Tiefling Cleric of Asmodeus in Demonweb, the Tiefling Gladiator in Against the Giants, the Tiefling Cleric in Desert of Desolation, and the Tiefling Warlock in Unhallowed -- all female.

And some shifters!

Some spear and shield fighters, with a helmet (cover the ears), could be any humanoid race. Warforged with attached components. Famaliars, maybe in set three they can put a bonus familiar in every set. Buy all 6 you get 6 famaliars.

I wouldn't mind seeing that, though I'd like to see some shaman spirit companions as well. More so even, as a shaman's spirit typically has more combat presence than an arcanists familiar.

Re: familiars and spirit companions, the pre-PHB Heroes sets had plenty of minis suitable for these roles; I've got more wolves, bears, imps and suchlike than I can poke a stick at.

Although I do seem to be missing regular-sized birds, cats, and so forth.

While true it would be nice to see them included in future hero sets, making them more accessible to those that don't have a backlog of figures from older sets. Also for spirit companions I would want to see animal formed minis cast in clear plastic colors, so as to evoke the same look as typically depicted in most shaman artwork (this is something that older sets can't really deliver)

Ohh..I have one, but it's silly:

Gnome Bard wielding a one-bladed axe that looks like a giant kitchen cleaver in two hands. He's also bald, grey-skinned, brown-eyed and has a "luxurious" elaborately braided red goatee. :D He thinks he's a "great dwarven hero". Riordan Sporke. (Yes, he's spoony...very spoony...)

I have yet to find a proper figure for him. I do have a dwarf carrying a hammer though. I think you can see why I'm having trouble...:D

I think my bf wanted a black panther, since he's got this druid that's going to be pretty much in panther form.

Hmm...what else? A Genasi Windsoul? Mine has more aerodynamic spikes (they sit flat against her scalp, flowing down toward her neck and curl up at the ends), a leather leotard with an open cape-like leather skirt, armbands and boots. She also carries a nice big glaive! I do have a cool figure for her, but it doesn't look like her, it has a polearm in one hand and a scimmy in another, which can cause some trouble for placement.

Can't think of anything else atm, but those are on my wishlist.

Well, it seems to me that for player character a bit of mix and match options could help.

Basically you could customize minis a bit by adding shields and weapons to a already existing figure.

My problem is I have a lot of femal players right now, and they're a little disappointed. They like the new detailed minis, and want a "sexy" tiefling. I tried to get them to use the older ones, but they didn't like their "style." I admit, the 3.5 edition minis weren't that great looking, but I loved the Tiefling cleric of Asmodeus. Never got my hands on a gladiator from Against the Giants. I'll try and get a few and see if that works.
