Do we really need another Picard? Let's not repeat the 1,001 Kirk variants in the TNG line.
I am guessing they won't do a human Picard in a Borg wave, but that's just my thought.

Some of us like Kirk, some of us like Picard....Kirk has just had more love...Picards turn now.

Capitan + Commander
B'Elanna + Paris since they were a couple
Tuvok+Neelix because of their 'friendship' dynamic on the show
Doctor + Kim. They didn't necessarily have a lot of screen time together, but the previous pairings makes Harry Kim the odd man out, so this way he's paired with the Doc, who's one of the more popular characters guaranteed to sell.
That leaves 7of9, who is already taken care of.
I guess Kes could be a possibility, but at this point, I don't know how great the odds are of even getting the cast above.
In addition to that, and this is definitely dreaming, I'd love to see Species 8472, the Hirogen, Ensign Wildman, Tuvix, and the futuristic Borg drone

While I agree that TOS is where the money seems to be for companies at the moment (even if its not my cup of tea), I still think Voyager was and remains somewhat underrated in terms of its success and fanbase. I personally know a lot of trek fans, and it seems the hardcore TOS and to a lesser extent TNG fans seem to discount Voyager as having been a flop more so than most fans who enjoy trek on the wider spectrum.
It's been many years now, but I think I recall (And may in the end be incorrect) Voyager being on par with DS9 many times in weekly ratings.
Heck, even a google of Star Trek Voyager returns almost 2.5 million hits versus Star Trek Deep Space Nine which returns about 1.1 million.
Completely anecdotal, but it shows that Voyager does have a presence out there in the universe, and I believe people would buy the figures.
Maybe in the end its just a case of Voyager being the last series in line on DST's current timeline and not having been given the figure treatment yet.
I'm still hoping

Interesting. If I were trying to do it, I would probably try to pair a popular figure with a not-so-popular figure as well as trying to force people to get multiple packs to complete some common pairings... such as:
Janeway (S7 hair)/Chakotay - Janeway can't be argued for her popularity. Chakotay was a waste of a character. I think Beltran's a bit of a whiner who shouldn't have been so vocal to the fans. (Biting the hand that feeds you?) He was, however, essentially correct in most of his statements.
B'Elanna/Tuvok - The most volatile personality with the most reserved. Would force any Torres/Paris shippers to buy 2 2-packs.
Kim/Paris - a nice buddy 2-pack. Customizers looking for a Nick Locarno head would probably lead to more Kims than otherwise would've been sold
EMH/Neelix - EMH is easily one of the most popular figures. Neelix, I don't get the sense would sell very well on his own. Plus, they were the 2 outside observers of the cast.
If they did release everything in 2-packs, I think one thing they should do is make 2 variants -
Janeway (Ponytail)/ Blue Seven
Silver Seven / ECH
An interesting mental exercise. I wonder how others here would pair them....

Hmm, yeah, I think your combinations would probably sell better now that I look at them, and I work in marketing. Go figure
Last night I tried giving one of the 3.5" glossy cartoon character Janeways from the Playmates days a realistic paint job, but alas she ended up just looking like a cartoon character with a realistic uniform. DST, please don't let us Voyager fans down.

I think all the male characters from Voyager could use the Sisko body.

Definately the Troi body for them.
And Kira Nerys is actually taller than Beverly Crusher! Good lord DST.

That chart really shows why Janeway and Torres need a new body made rather than using the S3 Jadzia, but they could make pretty much every single female on the Voyager crew with that one body. It's like the only tall women they had on there was Seven and one girl that came back from the dead for an episode.

Yeah, that really just confirms what we all knew, which is that Kira needed the Dr. Crusher legs.
