For example, the Centaurs, Minotaur, and I think I remember giant spiders and sabre-tooth cats from Toco's website. Which of these were supposed to go with the Dwarf and which ones with the Wizard?
From what I gathered from Kueker they only employed him for the Elf and Wizard quest packs. In fact, it didn't even seem like he knew what a Dwarf was... that or his hearing was way off (excusable as he's 86 years old). One of the drawings I've seen depicts a Dwarf weilding a war hammer, but when Kueker described it he called it "a bearded soldier." When I tried to correct him, stating it was a "Dwarf", he couldn't quite understand what I was trying to tell him.
From my understanding the Centaur and Minotaur were meant for the Wizard quest packs; the Sabertooth Tiger was another option for the Elf Quest Pack, but someone decided to go with the Giant Wolf instead. I don't recall him saying anything about Giant Spiders.
He didn't really want me showing off his art, as he seemed very protective over it and was weary that others would try to steal it and make money off of it. Though when I tried to assure him that wasn't the case he suddenly grew defensive.
He did mention that someone else asked him about it years before, which I assume might have been Taco... so I didn't learn anything new as this information had already funneled back through him.

- Sabretooth Tiger (either scrapped from EQP, or intended for WQP or DQP)
- Centaur (WQP)
- Minotaur (WQP)
- Ratmen (WQP or DQP)
- Giant spider (WQP or DQP)
- Any other monsters I haven't mentioned?
Going by precedent set by the EQP & BQP there were usually 3 new monster miniatures added plus a Boss villain (although the Ogres in EQP were not really new as they were in ATOH).
So the number of monsters in my list above would be about right, although its obviously missing the Bosses.
In regards to the new Heroes I think the one on the left is the female wizard and the one on the right is the new dwarf Hero (maybe they decided in the early stages not to have a female dwarf because the idea of lady dwarves are a bit weird)?

Yes, both published QP's had 3 monster types with a 3/2/2 configuration. 3 Ice Gremlins, 2 Yetis and 2 Polar Warbears, and 3 Giant Wolves, 2 Elf Archers, 2 Elf Swordsmen. I am sure the WQP would have followed the same 3/2/2 formula from your list above.
The BQP has the henchmen figures from the EU HQ advanced edition. The EQP has the Ogre figures from AtOH. It is my belief that the WQP would have had the 4 Evil Wizards from WoM. The Female wizard is a definate, and the boss unknown.

And the last one should be a 2 heroes quest, male and female wizard together!
