I would look at Hasbro's in-house numbers on what actually sells and what doesn't, and confer with retailers on what they are willing to actually stock on their shelves.

And do that.

Collectors would take a very distant second in terms of priority, because what a bunch of people on the internet say they will buy is completely irrelevant if there is no company out there that will buy the product from Hasbro in sufficient numbers to justify the production costs and licensing fees.

So in short, it would probably look almost exactly like what we're getting now. It's nice to talk about pie-in-the-sky ideas, but most of them completely ignore the reality that Hasbro can't FORCE any product to market. Retailers have to buy it from Hasbro before we can buy it. Many of the ideas here would be loved by collectors, sure, but they ignore the realities of the market and worry about jumping the second hurdle before they've gotten over the first.
