| | The Gargoyle. Not only is it a horrendous sculpt of a common monster, but as someone pointed out to me that other day, if there's any monster in D&D that shouldn't have a dynamic sculpt at all, much less a crappy one, it's the gargoyle. | |

heh, the Nothic has a better "gargoyle" type pose than the Gargoyle. [:D]
I'd resculpt the....
Worg (a little bigger)
Dwarf Barbarian (anything would be an improvement)
Human Commoner (put that damn scythe UP!)
Medium Fire and Water Elementals (clear plastic)
Dragoneye Bugbear (much too thin and lithe for a bugbear)
Hill Giant (same reason)
Wraith (why the f*ck does it have a sword?)
Ogre (just crappy. Looks like it's posing for some weird Ogre bodybuilding exhibition)
Adv Wizard (big head)
LRD (never much cared for the pose)
Displacer Beast (figure should be bigger)
Minotaur (Can't they finally get this one right?)
Ragnara (clear plastic)
Vrock (more on the base, for cryin' out loud)
Mordenkainen (why is he saying, talk to the hand?)
Rahskasa (does he think, he's THE KING OF THE WORLD, or something?)
Drow Fighter GoL (just a strange pose)
Glabrezu (more menacing)

| I would assume that by resculpt it means the stat card stays the same. With that criterium...
Ogre (as an uncommon)
Hell Hound (looks crappy)
Wraith (as an uncommon)
Ghoul (looks too skinny)
Mummy (looks too skinny)
Bearded Devil (as an uncommon)
Human Commoner (for normal scale)
Human Bandit (for better scale)
Barghest (as an uncommon)
Displacer Beast (as an uncommon)

The adventuring wizard has some serious "ginormous head syndrome". He's terrible.
Dwarf Barbarian is bad, really bad, but I don't care enough about him to nominate him.
How about the Brass Samurai. I hate that sculpt. | |

Good call, give him more of a dynamic pose. I would love to see displacer beasts as uncommons as well.
Edit: Ohh, and add Erinyes, Salamander, and Bearded Devil to my list. I would love to see another Barghest, but I would like a large one instead of another medium. | |

| | Not necessarily a resculpt, but I'd love to see them revisit the Harpy. Maybe even as uncommon Unique, just so it's a little more powerful but also still plentiful enough for newcomers to get a small group for RPG purposes. | |

The gargoyle is only my second choice, though. The first thing that needs resculpting is my abs. | |

| | Vrock and displacer beast are the ones I'd most like to see resculpted. I'd like to see another couple of sculpts for kuo-toa, but these could be variations such as kuo-toa king (with a crown, cape or other ornamentation), kuo-toa with pincer staff, kuo-toa monitor monk, etc. | |
