Gee that sounds like a winner of an idea. The cost of the mould is one thing, but so too is the issue of finding a retailer space for it. We’d started to see retro G1 with Walmart, and then it sort of faltered. Crowdfunding would be a way to guarantee a return on investment for Hasbro/Takara. I’d love to see it happen.
On the lookout for MISB Headmaster Highbrow, Takara or Hasbro. I'm sure I could make you a sweet deal!
