Expect Lion-o, Mumm-ra, Tygra, Panthro, and all the other adult males to share a bodytype. Cheetara and Pumyra to share one. The kits to share one, assuming they get to the kits before they cancel the line. That's even without the usual Matty incompetence when it comes to handling their boy/collector brands.
Ghostbusters was dependent on a third movie that never came, besides that franchise had no media in years besides the video game.

ThunderCats is much more fresh in people's minds with the new series.

One advantage to making ThunderCats is that there aren't alot of characters or variants. If Mattel did get the ThunderCats license and made a 12 month subscription "Club Thundera", we could get all of the major characters in two years. 12 main figures, SDCC exclusives and a sub figure. After that, keep on making characters until the line dies. Get the majors out of the way and continue until the Tank runs out of fumes.

Year One:
Lion-O
Mumm-Ra
Panthro
Ssslythe
Cheetara
Jackalman
Tygra
Monkian
Wilykit
Jackalman
Wilykat
Jaga

SDCC exclusive: Bandaged Mumm-Ra and Ma-Mutt
Sub exclusive: Snarf and Snarfer

Year Two:
Hammerhand
Tug Mug
Bengali
Ram Bam
Alluro
Cruncher
Pumyra
Chilla
Top Spinner
Red Eye
Lynx-O
Ratar-O

SDCC exclusive: Luna and Amok
Sub exclusive: Ro-Ber-Bill and Ro-Ber-Belle

Year Three:
Hachiman
Turmigar the Tuska
Willa
Safari Joe
Grune
Nadya
Reptilian Soldier
???????
???????
???????
???????
???????

SDCC exclusive: Snowman of Hook Mountain and Snowmeow
Sub exclusive: Mandora and bike

The scariest part would be the tooling issue and shared parts.
