| The one thing that's only getting a small amount of attention is that the Storm Archer is an epic uncommon. Combine that with the fact that its a recent set (maybe a bit too recent, but recent) and it's something that most players will be interested in. If they don't have the figure, getting one is very easy through trading or buying.
So, which uncommon would you want to see as the next uncommon figure (I'm not sure we're ready for an epic common, although it could be interesting)?
There are a lot of interesting choices out, there. I'm going to have to go with Redgar, Adventurer, just because he would make a good companion for the epic Tordek.

| I'd rather have a new sculpt for any epic iconics, but that's me.
Some Uncommon epics I'd dig would be one's with sculpts I like that don't see enough play in my opinion.
Anvil of thunder
Chitine
Dragonblade ninja
Any of the Drow, but specially the Drow Wizard
Dwarf Wizard
Elf Swashbuckler
Evoker's Apprentice
Githyanki Fighter
Gold Dwarf Figther
Halfling Wizard
Human Dragonslayer to go up against the dragon tomtem hero
Protectar - this mini always has won my, "looks tougher than it really is" award
Sahuagin Ranger - who doesn't love this sculpt and wish it saw more play?

Our venue just had it's first tournament today, a Sealed WotDQ (excluding two lightly attended prereleases). The venue owner had a box of figures he opened, and there were a large number of the repaints of this figure. It was very popular among the players. Everyone got a figure who played, 1st place got 5 and 3rd place got 3 (which was me). | |

| I would not mind any of the following uncommons getting epic stats:
Half-Orc Paladin
Warmage (Although, honestly, I'd just rather just get a new Warmage)
Githzerai Monk
Skullclan Hunter
Human Dragonslayer
Warden of the Wood
Renegade Warlock
Cleric of Garl Glittergold
Half-Elf Hexblade
Cleric of Nerull
Urthok the Vicious
Red Samurai
Hmm, all humanoids. Almost none of the uncommon monsters would be able to attain epic level stats without increasing in size or gaining class levels.

| Epic Urthok could be cool.
Honestly, going back to rares for a moment, and epic Couatl could be wicked. Something like having Resist 20 as a commander effect (or even Resist 15) would have an impact on all the 60-damage elemental weapons we've been seeing.

| | Urthok would be a good choice for an epic card, but I don't think there are any epic goblinoids to benefit from his commander effect. Epic Bloodghost, maybe? | |

| I think the most interesting option would be the renegade warlock. We're unlikely to see another warlock soon, so giving this guy an epic card with the abilities of a 20th level warlock would give us some interesting options...
A 30 damage eldritch spear that (due to eldritch chain) deals 15 damage to all enemies adjacent to the target, and gives the injured parties -2 to hit and -2 to saves? That could be potent... | |

| Urthok all the way. Extend his Epic commander effect to all evil humanoids or somesuch...
Maybe Epic Cleric of Order? Epic Wizard Tactician would be nasty.

| Urthok The Vicious.
He could get vicious critical, maybe tyrantical morale, or make goblinoids fearless, or expand his commander effect. | |

| I'd rather see more "uniques" getting EPIC status, instead of some "uncommon stirge".
I mean really, where's the EPIC versions of: Mina, King-Obuld, Ghaele(sp), Urthok, Redgar, etc. etc.
We need those "named" people to step up to the EPIC status.
Personally, the Golden Protector and Storm Archer could have easilly been: Obuld and Mina. They NEED Epic Status. | |

Just picking a nit, but the ghaele is a type of eladrin, not a person's name. Plus, I think its point cost already makes it mostly see play in Epic anyway.
An Epic Mina would be very cool. I haven't read the War of Souls series, but she's pretty much the Big Bad, right? Commanding armies of draconians and undead and such? How about Commander 7 (first for LE?) and a DC on bestow curse that isn't craptacular. Now if we could just get the other draconians...
I'd like an Epic Obould to be 'King Obould, Chosen of Gruumsh'. Cleave would be swell, but Great Cleave would be even sweller!
Oops, went way off topic! Hows bout an Epic Warden of the Woods? With Treant minions! HA! | | | |

| Let's give it up for the newest epic...
EPIC WRACKSPAWN
Cost: 121
Level: 9
Speed: 6
AC: 19
HP: 140
Melee Attack +18 (15 magic + Pain + Boot)
Type: Outsider
Special Abilities
Blindsight
Pain 20 DC 22
Boot: Opponents damaged by the Wrackspawn's melee attack must make a save (DC 22) versus the Boot. Opponents failing this save are knocked back 3 squares and suffer a -2 to armor class and speed from having the Wrackspawn's boot jammed up their %&$!
"I've got your WTF right here buddy!
[)]
Seriously though... how about an epic Grim Necromancer? Give him some sort of undead warbanding ability, maybe a few necromantic attack spells, bump his Commander rating a bit?
