Here's a list of what I think would sell very well as high end statues:

He-Man
Skeletor
Hordak

Anything else you're rolling the dice on. The market just seems so damn fragile these days, that once you get past the iconography of the lead and most widespread popular characters in a series, you seem to be running a constant risk vs reward scenario.

That doesn't mean that other characters, especially if they are done really well, won't sell, Trap Jaw or Teela for instance would be a very strong bet, or a He-Man/Battle Cat or Skeletor/Panthor combo, it's just that I think there are only ever a few guaranteed sellers in any license these days, and even those still have to be done really good to sell.

Plus another factor in a license like this is the realisation that you know you'll never see all the characters made as statues given just how wide and diverse the line up is, so tight from the get go a lot of collectors tend to limit themselves to just buying favourites or characters that they feel they need in order to properly represent the line/license, which fragments the sales of any character that isn't an iconic, must have representative of said license. My take anyhow.

It'll certainly be interesting to see how this one goes...

Ill add to that list of what I think will sell well.

Buzz Off
Stratos
Moss Man
Fisto
She-Ra
Zodac
Kobra Kahn
Whiplash
Grizzlor
Ram Man

If PCS was to do all of these including the ones you have Frankie, I would be a happy man...and would feel satisfied in knowing all these represent the best of MOTU.

I think Beast Man would sell in a new york minute, if done correctly.
