We have enough ideas to go ahead and vote. Due to time constraints this will be the ONLY vote. I will leave it open so you can always see the results of the poll. This vote ends on November 5th.
Please remember to post comments and images to support your idea or to dispute a competitor's idea (politely). I would appreciate if everyone took part.

Sauron's trick towards men
I imagine a King of men (in mortal form) contemplating the ring of power that Sauron gave it to him

Roac and Thorin Being able to speak Westron, the raven delivered the news that Smaug had been killed. Roäc agreed to bring a message to Dáin II Ironfoot from Thorin, a call for help in guarding the treasures of Erebor in the wake of war.However, Roäc also gave a piece of advice to Thorin, warning him that "the treasure is likely to be your death"

Oh yes, I rather like that idea! - so long as Chris makes the raven a substantially sized bird as in this picture.

Of course Master Khador ! I hope maybe suggestions will be made and contest my own 1st choice.
I also like your idea very much. It's good you defend your suggestion.
May I suggest you put more in your description (maybe a sketch...)?

Gandalf reading the scroll of IsildurA sitting Gandalf without his hat, with both arms extended, grasping the unrolled scroll and reading with all his attention the description of the ring. Aside a simple table or altar with a pile of books and the hat on top of them. This image from the movie is similar to what I have in my mind...

This is, I think, the first suggestion that I make, can't remember if someone else have suggested it before.
Not sure if this qualifies for a single mini, but I wanted to share the idea, because there are more than 10 Gandalfs, but none of them is seated, and only two are without hat (gandalf with hobbit children, an the one mounting shadowfax).
On the other hand Mornedhel's idea is really wonderful!

I don't get any sketch but I imagine a forty olded man, dressed in ceremonial armour with crown on his head, straight, doubtful, tempted by promise, holding his chin with his left hand |

Tobold Hornblower of the ShireTobold Hornblower also known as Old Toby was a Hobbit of the Shire. Tobold was a well-respected gardener, most notable for his discovery and cultivation of the herb Pipe-weed, circa TA 2670, 1070 by Shire Reckoning. He resided in the Southfarthing village of Longbottom, and there he was immortalized as 'Old Toby'. The Pipe-weed variety 'Old Toby' was definitely named after him, and possibly 'Longbottom Leaf' as well. According to Herblore of the Shire, by Meriadoc Brandybuck, it was believed that Tobold Hornblower learned about Pipe-weed in Bree, as that was the farthest from the Shire that he traveled and the herb grows on the south slopes of the hill there. His growing of Pipe-weed led to the herb's popularity throughout the Shire and beyond. I imagine Old Toby with a hat, coat and barefooted of course, standing or sitting and smoking a long Hobbit-pipe with pleasure  and as it is a small figure, a addition of a bench or small table with some small barrels whould be great. One barrel is open and shows the ready for sale or trade Pipe-weed inside. Every Barrel has a big Label on the side for a nice logo paint-job. Gandalf the Wizard, Bilbo and all Hobbit Heros loved to smoke and even Saruman had connections to the Shire to get the Pipe-weed, because Merry and Pippin found some barrels with Longbottom-Leaf when Isengard was besieged.
Old Toby is a famous Hobbit Character
who is still missing in the Mithril range!

4 suggestions so far... and a lot of comments, okay.
Come on dear fellows,
that can't be serious, or can it be the "easy " month?
Where are the ideas?

For me it's no easy month at all, for there are already two out of the four suggestions, that I would definitely love to see sculpted and standing on my desk...

Raggers The Raggers (D."Ragh Creann-Sleagh" or "Raging Pikes") were a traditional class of professional Soldiers in Eriador, especially Cardolan.These Raggers were for the most part, descendants of Númenórean Colonists or Warriors who took indigenious women and passed their craft and profession on to their sons anmd grandsons.The Raggers were considered Tergil or "lesser Dúnedain" and were renowned Fighters, especially Pikemen.Aditionally to their traditional set of arms, the High-Helmet, Hauberk and Pike they also used a weapon unique to them, a kind of backsword known as the Ragger's Knife.

OK, why not put up the FEMALE LOSSOTH again? So I will. I would let Chris decide the design, except she should at least wear a pair of bone skates to travel across the ice, as mentioned in the Red Book of Westmarch.

Even if Roac and Thorin is a nearly unbeatable suggestion, I'd like to have last months second winner:

Shadyt, this proposal is for me a must-have miniature.

Uoooo! nice bunch of ideas!
That beorning lady is great! and those raggers seem to fulfill any wargamer expectation ^^
And Thingol that drawing is nice! I don't mind if its Arathorn II or whoever xD but a figurine like that would be different and great to have.

BILBO, SITTING, SMOKING HIS PIPE
Bilbo sitting comfortably, legs extended in front of him, resting, smoking his pipe. This is a happy day, he ate his second breakfast and waiting for the next meal, he took advantage of a moment of pure happiness.

An old suggestion of mine :
YOUNG ROHIRRIM BOY
hunting or playing around, (or defending at Helm’s deep).
the boy figure has ‘lended’ the arrows and bow of his father to show his shooting skills; he should be ca. the same size as the Bergil figure (M196), but with longer hair, in the usual Rohir clothes, with a tunic onto his knees, no mail coat as it would be to heavy for a young boy anyway, a pot helm on his head, a quiver on his back (of course a little to big for him), and his fathers bow in his hands. He can be standing at rest, or firing, or putting an arrow on his bow (like the pose of the woodman bowman loading, M401). I would prefer the loading pose.
An attempt to get some more child figures in the Mithril range ; thanks in advance for supporting this idea !

Wounded Black Numenorean Naval Officer
I imagine him standing on his remaining leg and prosthetic wooden limb proudly and defyingly, an example to his subordinates and sailors, staring at the horizon from the prow against the wind and eagerly looking forward into engaging the enemy. He'd be wearing the classic, shell-like helm, some light armor, and rich, elaborate and somehow baggy clothes (also a cape). He'd be carrying a long cutlass on his side, in which he'd be resting his hand. I can picture him with his clothes waving, showing the effect of the wind.

Figure suggestion: Sam carrying Frodo up Mount Doom
An iconic moment from the end of the book where an exhausted Frodo is given a ‘pig-a-back’ by Sam up the mountain. At this point they would have the remnants of their orc armour that have not been discarded and should look drawn and haggard.
Technically this is two people, but as they are only half sized and would be made as one figure I’m hoping this is okay...
