They did it a little. Lots of the mid-2000s comic packs of ARAH o-ring figures had new head sculpts. And some of those were carried over into convention sets.
e.g. this Duke:

I honestly think I'd rather see just new heads, or even re-use these comic packs heads, and keep the old body molds. Too much change and the nostalgia will be gone.
Like with Retro Star Wars Tarkin though, some new o-ring characters of old comic book or cartoon characters would be cool. The comic packs did that with some like Kwinn and Scarface, but I think Dr. Venom is one that they didn't get to. I think the Joe Con set had a Sparks, but I think his coloring was off model from the cartoon. Plus they re-used a Breaker head for him.
I'm dreading that they're going to do the original figures but leave out the guns or put in stupid sci-fi weapons. That terrible choice was already made on the retail Classified line. And this is a year that already saw Elmer Fudd's musket replaced with a scythe in Looney Tunes cartoons. The stupid political correctness is surging.
