The thing about villagers, as in the animal residents with the various personalities, is that there are just so many and the only ways to whittle them down to determine ones to add is through the poll system. Even then, they're chosen from a small sample size. As such, I'm not getting my hopes up over any particular villagers. That said, I'd be most interested in Ankha, Boomer, Cephalobot, Hopper, Julia, Julian, Louie, Muffy, Octavian, Petri, Pietro (why did he have to lose to Vesta?), Ribbot, Shino, Sprinkle, Stitches, and Tiffany. I'd also personally love Knox and Sterling but that will never happen, even with some from the previous list already being a stretch.

On the flipside, the special NPCs seem far more easy to implement.
- A Blathers Chick Plush to go alongside his sister's Celeste Chick Plush would be delightful.
- Brewster would be a good pick, whether it was him or the Roost sablé cookie bearing his likeness.
- A CJ Easter Egg to go alongside Flick's Halloweaster Egg would be cool.
- Since we have Jack, Gourdy (not an NPC but whatever), and Coco, I want Cornimer now.
- A Franklin one for Thanksgiving would be nice.
- Gracie would be cool and could have her trademark blue background with the green and orange circle pattern included.
- Gulliver and/or Gullivarr would make for a solid collectible.
- Katrina, my queen! Space background. Or Halloween background. It'd be so awesome.
- Pascal's cool and would give us another collectible with a water background.
- Wisp would be cool. Ghost collectible? Yes, please.
- While I know we have the Zipper Sakura, I'd like a proper Zipper Easter Egg...or Halloweaster Egg, either is good. Or both!
Finally, they're not NPCs, but I really want the different pumpkin heads from New Leaf as well as the green and yellow jack-o-lanterns with the different faces from New Horizons.

As for the gyroids:
- Brewstoid would be a good stand-in for Brewster if he doesn't get a dedicated collectible himself.
- Crumploid would make for a GREAT Halloween collectible.
- Other classic gyroids like Freakoids, Howloids, Poltergoids, and Rustoids would make for great Halloween collectibles too.
- Dinkoids and Sputnoids were cool robotic ones from the classic varieties.
- Nebuloids, another classic variety, would've been cool for something space themed like Camp Bell Tree 2023 was.
