I was thinking today about holding back from buying Universe Classics due to the almost certainty that Takara will come up with a Henkei 2.0 of their own sporting much higher quality finishes and better implemented and thoughtful paintjobs. However then I thought how Hasbro has pretty much ended the Classics line and incorporated it into Universe...

Is it at all possible that Takara may not go forth with a Henkei 2.0 because Hasbro has placed the molds within the Universe line?

I am not sure how Takara works out the re-releases from previous Hasbro lines but maybe they can't just pick and choose which molds they want to release so they can only choose a full line. Because Universe is destined to be filled with mostly junk, is it at all possible that Takara will not want to release the Classic Universe toys as Henkei due to the baggage that comes along with it?
