I'd like to see some superhero figures that are more generic. Perhaps with interchangeable heads so you can choose if you want flames for hair, normal hair, or a helmet, for example. I think all the superhero options are fabulous, but some of them are too specific to a particular power type. I'd like to see just some figures in bodysuits, dramatically posed, that a person can paint to suit whatever costume and power scheme their character has.

Pulp era superheroes like the Shadow and King of the Rocket Men would be good, too. And while we're on that era, more pulp adventures of the Flash Gordon / Buck Rogers variety. Tharks, Red Martians, Hawkmen from Mongo, that sort of thing.

Some Chinese kung fu fighters who aren't wearing 20th century apparel would also make me very, very happy. Some Qing dynasty folks, a la Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, but also some dressed in earlier styles (no queue or mandarin collar robes). Some empty-handed in wushu or tai chi poses, some wielding traditional Chinese-style swords or spears. Some with more exotic weapons would be fun, too, like flying guillotines, wind and fire wheels, tigerhead hooks, and meteor hammers.

I don't know if it's been suggested but post-apocalyptic Humanoid Mutant animals. Modern, prehistoric, and dinosaur mutant humanoids
Like the turtles from the Origional comics not the cartoon ones. I think more minis like the Tigerian mercenary and the sabretooth tiger man would just be cool, Just with different animals.
P.S.I second the Science fiction style Fantasy races
And definately more aliens, cyborgs and robots.

I know quite a few of the current Chronoscope could be used, I would like to see more figures suitable for the Shadowrun universe (especially off the 1st/2nd edition artwork). Street shamen, biker orcs, trolls in mafia pin-stripes, etc.

I agree with Bamphomet. I have a shadowrun game but have a hard time finding good minis for these. It would be neat to see something along these lines.

I'd like to see some superhero figures that are more generic.

I like all the current "specific" superheroes in the Chronoscope line, but a couple "generics" might not be a bad idea. I'd also love to see some "cute" female superheroes, like Wasp, Supergirl, Stargirl, Shadowcat, etc.

Pulp era superheroes like the Shadow and King of the Rocket Men would be good, too. And while we're on that era, more pulp adventures of the Flash Gordon / Buck Rogers variety. Tharks, Red Martians, Hawkmen from Mongo, that sort of thing.

For a not-The Shadow check out 50217: The Black Mist. For the others, I'd love to see some more "pulp" not-Rocket Men, not-Flash Gordon, or not-John Carter of Mars style figures.


Some Chinese kung fu fighters who aren't wearing 20th century apparel would also make me very, very happy.

Yes, I would love these. I'd also like it if we could see a modern, empty handed (no sword!) japanese martial artist wearing a hakama , or a modern chinese marital artist with Butterfly Swords.

I buy every pulp I find to go with my Hollow Earth Expedition game so I would always love to see more!

I really like the idea of some great Kung fu characters as well.

I'll second/third/whatever the requests for the three-piece size-changing hero and the build-a-superhero bits pack, as well as an EMT mouseling...

I'd really like to see some male Fox swordsmen to go with the vixen archers.
Modern days archers, bows and crossbows, both genders and of all ages.
Demonstrators with shields and makeshift clubs.
A survivalist family based on the Brady Bunch (IRL, survivalists would try for as many kids as possible to repopulate the Earth)
Child zombies.
A Siberian tiger.
A set of chefs.
Still waiting for my gorilla with a baseball bat. Maybe an orangutan with a cricket bat and a chimp with a monkeywrench too.

I was just thinking, you have some British and Zulus in the CS range, why not some other historical opponents. I would love to see some Spanish and some Aztec Warriors (the Aztec Eagle and Jaguar warrior societies would make for some great miniatures).

I was just thinking, I would really love to see some space suited figures. Not space armor, but just regular suits. Retro, contemporary or futuristic, any of them would be fun.


Yes, I would agree on this one.

I like to pimp up my board games and could use either realistic American and Russian space men or miniature ships for the space race in Twilight Struggle.

You never know, there might even be a decent market for pimped up board game components/kits in general.

* For use in pirate-themed campaigns, I'd like to have something for my pirate miniatures to get in scrapes with, other than just OTHER pirates, or Razig's undead crew, or various sea monsters. It'd be nice to have a 17th- or 18th-century sailor, a British marine, a foppish ship's captain, an era-appropriate lady, etc. It'd also be nice to have a cannon crew that isn't undead (I've already got enough Soulcannons!).

* To go along with Alice and the White Rabbit, it'd be awesome to have a Chronoscope take on the "Cheshire Cat," some "Card Guards" to fight -- or, for that matter, any other iconic Wonderland entities. (Thanks to Pathfinder, I'm all set for the Jabberwock, at least!)
