| Trolls are a pretty popular monster. The Harbinger troll was one of the most sought after and expensive minis in the set, and other trolls have all done pretty well in the secondary market due to usefulness in for D&D games. We got a nice uncommon troll slasher, an ice troll, and an armored war troll. In War of the Dragon Queen we are now getting a cool looking huge mountain troll. What other troll miniatures would you like to see from WOTC?
Personally, I would most like to get a two headed giant troll (troll-ettin crossbreed from the same source book as the ice troll, I think).
A crystalline troll made with clear plastic would also be nice. | |

I'd like a Two-Headed Troll as well. If not that one, then a Troll witch doctor or shaman of some sort.
But please, no more unconventional ones like the crytalline trolls.

| | A troll shaman would be cool. I envision it with no weapons in hand, just ready to use claws or spells. But it would have various necklaces and armbands of animal and human or humanoid skulls and bones. | |

| I like the trolls in Unapproachable East. The Ice Troll (which we have), a huge sized two-headed troll called a Fell Troll, and a half demon troll called a Mur-zhagul.

| | They've really mined that book a lot, so I wouldn't be surprised to see another troll from the UE. We've now gotten a dread warrior, spirit folk, taer, volodni and ice troll. A blooded gnoll champion or thomil horse would be cool too. | |

They were called Scrags. Only regenerated in water, if I recall correctly.

| | Hopefully the only trolls we'll see in the next 3 or 4 sets is a troll shaman, and/or a troll cheiftain. It gets a little crazy with all these templated creatures. A little ridiculous, actually, in my opinion. | |

| | I'd go for a Shaman Troll personally. I'm hoping to see more spellcasters in general, of a lot of the monster races. We have pretty good minis for the warrior types for a lot of monsters, but not many that sub for a spellcaster. So a Troll Shaman would be nice to see =) | |

| When an aquatic set comes out, we'll see a Scrag in that set or shortly thereafter.
Large Uncommon Cave Troll in Unhallowed seems likely, as it'll have been awhile since Angelfire's Troll Slasher.

... but you have to admire Kunimatyu's positive thinking [:D]. Just keep going, Kunimatyu! It's "when", not "if"! [:)]
I like a lot of these suggestions. In order, for me: Troll Shaman, Scrag, Two-headed Troll, Troll Chieftain. Most of all I'd like to see these trolls made unarmoured, so that they can be used to represent normal trolls [)]. (In general, the power-creep of the sets seems to give us more creature 'bosses' than troops to be commanded [:0].) | |

| | I think they've hit all the worthwhile trolls, so my vote would be to stop at this point, and make no more. Perhaps in a few sets that can alter an existing one to rerelease it to the community, but otherwise I'd be against further trollings. | |
