Plastic Fire Dragons and Swooping Hawks for me.

Oh and a Plastic Warboss on a Warbike.

CombinedArmy: More civilians - Maelstrom's Edge and Stargrave make good bodies that work for sci-fi civilians but we need more non-combat arms and poses. Carrying boxes, using tools, playing cards, you get the idea.

Panicked civilians - I've mentioned it before, I'll mention it again, people running, screaming, panicking, falling on their knees crying out to the heavens. Basically what we would all be doing if aliens/mutants/C'thulhu started heading down main street. Throw in some extra bits and you can have rioting civilians which might be more marketable.

Oh those are nice, and at 12 GBP for 8 it's hard to beat the price. Thanks for the link.

I have been calling for plastic robots for years. Game companies must hate money.

I'd like them to come as androids such as the robots in I,Robot, and wheeled/tracked styles as in Lost in Space (Movie) and Wall E, and then floating bots, as in Black Hole. Oh and Fembots.....I want to do a space brothel.

More civilian dressed humans, armed, and unarmed. You can almost make a plastic Han Solo or Mal Reynolds from the plastic western gunfighters, but those darn neckerchiefs......

PlasticEldar Hawks, Spiders, Spectres, Hornets.

Plastic non Eldar Space Elves. We have WA space dwarves, now we need elves.

It will never happen, but a plastic line of classic Barbarians, which could be made into either Conan style barbarians and women, or John Carter style. The women wear the same slavegirl/harem girl in both genres!

Plastic Power Armor infantry as in Starship Troopers the book.

When I say plastic, I mean real plastic, not the awful Manticplastic.

Plastic Persian chariots would be nice.

Mantic has its hard plastic kits made by Archon Studio now so quality is there.

You know, it is not real plastic if made by Mantic no matter if the kits itself are made by Archon or Renedra

My wish for 2024 is plastic fantasy cavalry, and I mean fantasy not just humans on horses with fancy heads/helmets/ears

You mean something like halfling chicken cavalry?

or Elves on Battle Cats but something not just being a larger version of an existing animal

we have Halflings on Dogs, Dwarfs on Goats, Goblins on Wolves and Orcs on Boars in plastic

something like cockatrice, chimeras, owlbears etc. would be nice

40k - Seconding the vote for new plastic Eldar minis - especially filling in the gaps with the Aspect warriors - I'd love new Dire Avengers (I Know they're in plastic, but still), Warp Spiders, Swooping Hawks, and bring the Shadow Spectres into the world of plastic. Would also LOVE if Renegades and Heretics got a full release/rules, or at least a method of playing them as Guard with the ability to ally in Chaos space marines / demons.

AOS - I'd also love if the Lumineth got more to flesh out their other Temple ideas - the latest Warcry kit is a good start, but it's full of a bunch of things I don't really want or care for. Cities of Sigmar got a bunch recently, so that makes me happy, but it still feels limited in the new minis department for (although on par for where Lumineth was at first release).

Generic fantasy - the terrified / fleeing civilians would be awesome, as would some plastic wagons / carts with animals to go with them.

Restic? Manic is phasing that stuff out.

Just the guard...

Conscripts/Penal Legion - A set of 20 or so easy-to-build riflemen in jumpsuits or fatigues with rifles. Men and women, several body types, not heroic at all. Alternate heads with caps or with shaved heads and explosive collars. And of course rules for both units.

Tallarn (etc) - Done a Necromunda style 1 sprue set with bodies, special and heavy weapons. This could be done for all of the 2nd and 3rd edition metal regiments without much trouble. Do one a month, include a splash release with 50 for the price of 30 and you've got a stew going!

Transport truck - Not everything has to be the latest uber tank with more guns than it could every carry. A simple truck with a heavy stubber on the cab that moves 20-30 men would work great.

Jeep - Same thing, small, light, fast, carries 5-6 guys (new unit) has a missile launcher. Not uber but fun. And hopefully priced to move.

More baneblades! - This chart shows there's room for at least 13 more variants! Might I recommend a bunker (the Doomblade?) that you can make out of left over Baneblade hulls? And another one (the Doomshadow?) for left over Shadowsword hulls?

Found the updated chart. Doom Blade and Doom Shadow are still open!
