Have Takara made it known whether they consider making new molds from an intact original toy to be too expensive?
I heard some one here once say that Takara didnt think it was worth putting in that much work and money into a reissue.
That's just fan speculation. Never say never.
Your ingaging in wishfull thinking.Call it "fan speculation" if you wish but if Takara was going to try to make new molds from an intact original toy dont you think they would have done so by now.Takara has been doing G1 reissues for over 10 years now and the closest thing they've done to repairing a damaged mold was making a new head for the Jazz mold.And there was a statement made by Takara that they wouldnt be re-casting any molds for toys like G1 Swoop and the damaged to his mold was about equil to that of Wheeljacks mold.I just wish I could find that statement.
You're right, it probably is wishful thinking. However, you have to admit that things can change. It is possible that they have decided NOT doing those characters would be a poor decision.
