Should Jada do Ace Attorney?

 They're doing Street Fighter II and Megaman, sfAlpha is supposed to be after SFII. That could spin off into Final Fight... 

Darkstalkers could be a thing. Think about it:
The roster is rather small:
  1. Dimitri
  2. Jon Talbain
  3. Lord Rapter
  4. Victor
  5. Morrigan
  6. Anakaris
  7. Felicia
  8. Rikuo
  9. Bishamon
  10. Sasquatch
  11. Huitzil
  12. Pyron
  13. Hsien-ko
  14. Donovan
  15. Lilith
  16. Q-Bee 
  17. B.B.Hood
  18. Jedah
That's not counting any "variations" like Dark Talbain, or Oboro Bishamon, who in my opinion should be a "deluxe figure" of Bishamon, the man with his accessories being Hanaya armor pieces", human Talbain (who could be made using Street Fighter parts like Ryu's feet with Fei Long's body and a new belt and head), human Hsien-ko and her sister Mei-ling.
A 3 pack of small characters like Anita, Cecil, and Le Malta. That would be 24 figures padded out with variants and little extras. But when you think about it, that roster is too big.

Let's look at something smaller: Ace Attorney Trilogy. A Pollo Justicia can wait. This is all about the OG finger pointer bengoshi, Naruhodo Ryuiichi. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. Yes, I already have the figma figure, but fuck it... a lonely Phoenix Wright is all kinds of Wrong. So here's my potential list for an Ace Attorney trilogy line:
  1. Phoenix Wright 
  2. Miles Edgeworth 
  3. Mia Fey
  4. Manfred von Karma
  5. Franziska von Karma
  6. Godot
  7. Judge
  8. Winston Payne
  9. Maya Fey (channeling Mia)
  10. Pearl Fey (channeling Mia)
  11. Detective Gumshoe
  12. Ema Skye
Basically you have the Judge, Phoenix Wright or Mia Fey as lawyers, multiple Prosecutors, and poor Detective Gumshoe, pal! Who functions as a witness in the display. There are a few "variants" that could be used to pad out the roster
  1. Maya and Pearl 2 pack (since kid Pearl is too small to be a single figure release, a 2-pack with Maya works.Not to mention that Pearl'shead on Maya'sbody is halfway there for AJ era Pearl.)
  2. Diego Armando (a repaint of Godot with new heads)
  3. Phoenix Wright: Defendant (the facemask wearing version of PW before he became an attorney. Also, Mia's first defendant)
  4. Trials and Tribulations Deluxe Maya (channeling Dhalia, with alt Dhalia head, and angry Dhalia spirit. Of course the figure would be sold as Dhalia)
I wanted to add a Furio Tigre and then have a variant of Furio Tigre pretending to be Phoenix Wright... but if I keep going with possible variants and witnesses that would put me at the same number of releases as Darkstalkers... or go beyond.

I mean the rosters for both Darkstalkers and Gyakuten Saiban are smaller than say Biohazard. Though I have a soft spot for  Biohazard 4's The Los Ganados...

Wait, maybe Capcom isn't the answer, but:

Sen'in wa doko desu ka...
