Any re-launch should take advantage of investments already made in previous tooling resources. Here's what I think they could take advantage of and what they should never use again.

List tooling resources that can be re-used for a re-launch. Not talking about redoing characters, that can be discussed later.

Bodies That Should be Re-used
Definitely
Jim Lee Cyk/2nd Daredevil
Thanos/Juggernaut
World War Hulk (saw a good Orca on this)
She-Hulk
Wrecker
Silver Samurai
Colossus
Doctor Strange/Kang
Abomination
War Machine(s)
Cable
Spidey Noir/WWII Cpt Am

Won't Complain (with upgrades)
Thor (Straczinsky)
Astonishing Beast
Astonishing Wolverine
Thor/Beta Ray Bill
Ghost Rider/AIM
SHIELD/Winter Soldier (tooling probably retired with Daredevil)
Luke Cage/Sandman
Doctor Doom/Ultron
Captain America
Hawkeye/taskmaster
Bucky/Ultimate Spidey
Green Goblin
MI Groot
IM2 IM, Guardsman, CrimDyn, FA, WM, Titanium Man

Probably Shouldn't
Black Spider-Man/Iron Fist
Johnny Storm/Iron Fist
X-23
Ms Marvel
XMO Wolverines
Guardian/Sunfire
Deadpool
Wrecking Crew
MI Chameleon
MI Hydra Cap
MI Gamora
Mandarin
Hulkbuster

Never
First MU Daredevil, Spider-Man, Hulk, Wolverine, Punisher, Iron Man
Hand Ninja
XMO Gambit, Maverick, etc.
Thing
MI Spider-Man
MI Thunderstrike/Bishop
MI Beast
MI Female (Black Cat, Cpt Marvel, etc)
MI Doc Ock
MI Armored Spodey
Rocket Raccoon

Immediately, I can see they need a couple good female bodies: a fighter and a range attacker. Only the She-Hulk is serviceable even with her wonky knees. And they need "thinner" and "shorter" male bodies.

It would be wise to redo better bodies for A-listers like Wolverine and Spider-Man, the latter of which could be a base for a range of figures.

I didn't bother listing all the different Iron Men. Some are okay. Some are crap. Even the best ones could be improved upon. Either way, they should be careful when they try to recycle Iron Man. Make as many improvements as possible.
