The GI Joe Super 7 retro figures make even less sense to me than the ones they do for modern properties, they're simpler than the actual vintage figures at the same scale.
-
I'd like more Superior Foes, but Spider-Verse seems like the obvious choice. I'm going to guess Pavitr, Punk, 2099 (since they've just had their profiles raised), Morlun (so it's not just Spider-people), and one other... Sp//dr or UK, maybe?
Making Paul would be a pretty great publicity move.
-
It wouldn't take much to make one Warpath that could be Liefeld or Capullo - two sets of armbands, chests, belts, and hair - and then the set would be a clean 50/50 split between the two eras.
Feral's Capullo costume is also a pink bathing suit, but it's a completely different design from the Liefeld version.
-
Grandmaster has silver hair that's appropriately poofy for 80's Atom. It's got pink ears, though.
-
Blue Marvel, right?
-
Fang/Wolverine/X-23 is what came to my mind.
-
Did Cyclops ever wear a jacket with this costume? I know an old ToyBiz figure had that combination, but did it show up anywhere else?

I was really hoping this guy would be made into a Minimate. That would have made my decade.
You drew for West End Games' Star Wars RPG, then? That's really cool, I love their books.

Cho'd is actually a pretty easy quick custom! Put a Pathfinder Goblin head on a movie Hulk body (you'll have to do a little bit of color matching, but that's what the Database is for).
Barbarian Hulk is the best match I've found.
-
Other Shi'ar/X-Men characters like Fang Wolverine, Polaris, Eric the Red, or Deathbird could take those last two spots, too.
-
I'd rather one of the later Roger Stern lineups.
You could still have Jan and/or Jen, but with less rehashes and lots of characters with recently-raised profiles.
-
That'd be a lot of alternative parts, and unless she also had a Clint head it wouldn't really be a new character. Maybe it could be D-Man?
-
If Hulkling's chest cover uses standard wing pegs, it'd be perfect for a classic Mimic.
-
I think Sunspot came with them in yellow.
-
Maybe not very ambitious, but I could see a Murphy and Robocop (with battle-damaged parts) two-pack, with Vinimates of Robocop, damaged Robocop, and roughly MM-scale ED-209.
-
I think Ryu, Ken, and lightly-modified Thunderbird hair would get you most of the way to Shang-Chi.
I can think of two more sets worth of "must-have" Cobras, and the eighth figure is Cobra Commander Fred, which might be stretching things. I think the line will get to to army builders sooner rather than later.
I know as an obscure driver, Thrasher's never going to happen, and even Road Pig's not terribly likely, but they've got my favourite designs of any Joe characters.
-
Zartan seems pretty certain, and maybe Firefly and Bludd? Probably not Road Pig and Thrasher, unfortunately.
-
Even coming from a novel, Drizzt is probably the most well-known D&D character, so it would be weird to skip over him. I think he was the only D&D action figure Hasbro bothered to make despite owning the brand.
-
The diver from Creature From The Black Lagoon, maybe? One of the Khans might work too, depending on the skin tone.
-
I've had a few problems with hip joints twisting off, mostly on middle-period minimates with cheaper-feeling plastic, but it's happened occasionally with newer items too.

Two of those are vehicle drivers, so I'd say less likely than characters not inextricably linked to vehicles. Vehicles are a long shot unless this line REALLY takes off.
That's fair enough, I hadn't realised they were only drivers. It'd still be cool to see Road Pig, although I imagine other Dreadnoks would come first.
-
How obscure or unlikely-to-be made are Road Pig, Thrasher, and Wil Bill? I'm not familiar with the characters, but the first two would make great Fallout/Mad Max wastelanders, and Bill looks like he'd be a headswap away from Robert Duvall's character in Apocalypse Now.
-
I've seen the Transformers box set at GameStop a few times now, but I'd never seen anything before that.
-
I'd go with Korvac, Vision, orange shoulderpads Wasp, Jocasta, and Stakar, with the sixth slot for another Guardian. Yondu for movie recognisability or Vance for Cap-similarity (and Justice potential) would both make sense.

I think by Hobie they meant Spider-Punk, not Prowler.
The Best Of Spider-Man didn't have leg muscle detailing either, like the plain inner wrists it makes sense that something would get skipped with all the weblines.
