I see a lot of clamouring for it from a few people but I don't think there's been too much thought into it. The more prominent monsters, ie the main villains? Sure, I could see enough popularity in characters like Mesogog and one of Venjix's forms. But when you're talking about pouring money and resources into a unique mold for a larger-than-usual figure which is a monster of the week that no-one but a few hardcore people in the fandom would remember and even fewer would buy... like, I don't wanna be a downer here, but at some point you kinda have to be a bit more realistic.

At best only main villains, maybe a few notable MOTWs and a couple MMPR designs would ever have a chance. There's just no sense in doing unique molds of and filling waves with the likes of pumpkin rapper and drilltron.

It's just not gonna happen.

These. These right here.

It's same reason MMPR characters will always be at the forefront, whether one likes it or not. They're the most well known, and they continue to sell the most.

Not only would totally random MOTW not sell nearly as well, but they'd also be alot more expansive to make ontop of that. Sure, there's a chance we'll eventually get figures of the more well known ones(Pumpkin Rapper, Pudgy Pig, etc.) but that'd be about it. An entire line dedicated to them would basically be dead on arrival.

Would I personally like to see some of them be made into figures? Absolutely. I'd love to have a figure of the Knasty Knight, for example. But is it very likely, and is it very practical? No.
