| The Inspired Lieutenant wields a double-weapon as well, although hers is almost long enough to be practical. I don't mind that one, really.
Then there's the upcoming Gnome Trickster with his Gnome Hooked Hammer, which is probably the most silly of all double weapons in D&D. I like everything about the figure except the weapon, which I will remedy when I get one.
Also, there's the upcoming Valenar cavalry, which is depicted in its art work with a double scimitar. A double scimitar is a rediculous weapon on foot, not to mention for use while mounted. I'm a bit bummed about that, because I have been waiting for a good mounted CG figure.
Edit: Oh, and the Gold Dwarf Fighter has a Dwarven Urgosh, which is a double weapon.

| If they are going to put out a double-bladed fig, why can't it be a female half-orc Cleric of Boccob in Full Plate, with an Orcish Double Axe that is Silver on one end and Cold Iron on the other?
That would be perfect... for me at least. Â  | |

...and it's a core 3.5 weapon.
*shudders*
That is the worst defense for such an awkward and unrealistic weapon.
Developers make mistakes all the time. Including impractical double weapons was one of them. | |

Not to mention saying swords/axes and such weigh 50 lbs.Â
/me sounds the BS horn!
Also, the Valenar double scimitar actually has room for 3 hands:

| | How can anyone criticize a double scimitar. Surely you have seen the extended version of LOTR - the fellowship of the ring? That wall of elves cutting loose with their double scimitars was fantastic. | |

| Those were not double scimitars. Those only had one blade and a very long hilt. If anything, I'd say they are similar to the Nodachi.
