Mcfarlane's Ragman figure in his DC Multiverse line properly starts off the Shadowpact display in the line, and after reading the series for myself (and the Day of Vengeance prelude event) I am hoping to see lots of characters from this team and their villains debuted in the line eventually!
5. Phantom Stranger
A constant throughout the series was Phantom Stranger giving each issue of the comic its introduction in his mysterious, all-knowing presence. The character should be among the easier for Mcfarlane to put out, as there are several suited sculpts in the line that could be retooled and given a cloak in order to put out one of the Quintessence.
4. Doctor Gotham
Speaking of suited characters, Doctor Gotham was the long running overarching villain of the series that hounded the team with assassins and ultimately brought the Sun King into the fold. He would be a perfect Platinum release in the line, being a bit of an obscure villain as well as one without much of a toyetic design. But with his sinister visage, his long ponytail, and possibly even a miniature Sun King, the potential figure could be great!
3. Pentacle
The start of the series saw Shadowpact go up against essentially an evil mirror version of themselves! Many members of the team would be very cool to get in the line as villains, especially Strega and Jack of Fire who had expanded roles later in the series, and Kid Karnevil who was very prominent in one of my favorite Justice Society storylines!
2. Etrigan
We got the New 52 Etrigan years ago, and at this point, especially with the focus on really classic designs, Etrigan in his very popular red and yellow look is much needed for the line. He lended into one of the coolest storylines of the comic which saw Blue Devil chosen to take his place in Hell, with Etrigan ultimately being defeated and relegated to the Oblivion Bar's coat rack.
1. Shadowpact
The titular team themselves takes the top spot with a cast of unique, quirky characters that played extremely well off of each other! Ragman is a fantastic start, with Nightmaster and Nightshade being the next two I'd love to have most in the DC Multiverse line. Enchantress, Blue Devil, and Detective Chimp would round out the core cast of the team, and I certainly wouldn't mind other members they added later on like Zauriel and the Warlock's Daughter Laura.
