Well, given the restrictions of the existing waves: no new parts, minimal paint apps, minimal accessories, there's a lot they could do. The concept case has plenty of candidates I think people would really go for. Hit N Run, the Tele Viper, Raven's Wing, and definitely several of the ninjas.

The problem here is that a LOT of these utilize a great deal of paint apps.
By comparison, Shipwreck does not have his neck or belt painted.

Also, figures like Hit&Run have a great deal of accessories, and by comparison, figures like Duke and the Cobra Officer lack pistols and knives for holsters and sheaths.

I wouldn't give a damn if they only painted the heads.

Now actually Hit N Run would be fairly easy to do considering his Light Infantry specialization:
Hit N Run
(Cobra Island Invasion head/helmet, Cobra Trooper torso, Alley-Viper waist, 25th Duke arms, ROC Repeater's leg all molded in OD green, the only paint apps would be the eyes, brown hair, and the black for the boots and camo). His only needed accessories would be the helmet, a rifle, and either DG Snake Eyes or DG Cobra Trooper's web gear in black. His secondary release could be in white with grey boots, the flesh would be painted flesh tone and accessories in grey with a white helmet. (ala the great Special Missions issue that had a nod to the Marvels Nam comic in it)

It'd be cake for them to do a proper Slice too (with his neon orange version as built in repaint potential). If there's retailer interest, I can definitely see them getting something out there. I just want them to innovate just a bit more. That said, if all they did was a new color scheme for Shipwreck and put the Trooper out in proper Officer colors, I don't think I'd complain too much.

Ok given those rules I could see:

Roadblock (1st 25th version with just his gun & maybe a helmet in Double Blast colors and could be rerelease in Tiger Force or Modified BJ's colors (just the shirt, not the whole chest).
Hawk (General Hawk head, Kick Start body) OD green first time and maybe tan & black second run. Same guns as Duke.
Deep Six
(ROC t-shirt Hawk body, ROC Repeater head) DG Shipwreck blue first wave, DG Duke grey second wave. Piranha Shipwreck Boonie Hat, VvV m-4.

Baroness
(ROC Baroness in blue/black first, grey/black second). Her pistols.
Major Bludd
(25th done in blue/black ala his Sonic Fighter colors the second one purple & black like his 93-94 figure). Pistol, 25th anniversary Baroness rifle, & helmet.
Cobra Eel
(ROC Eel in Blue/Black, Grey/Black second term). Fins, webgear, & speargun

Just kicking this back up as I wanted to reread some of the ideas here and add some more too it.
For one I would love to see Family Dollar or CVS or heck Big Lots get their own six figure waves.
Second I'd like to hear some of your ideas.

Wave 5-6 or other retail company wave 1-2

Flint (Flint as Cobra Trooper head & arms, Desert Ambush Duke torso & legs. First wave: black shirt, gloves, beret, boots, od green pants. Second wave: khaki shirt, pants, black beret, brown gloves and boots. Major Barrage shotgun & 25th anniversary Flint webgear.
