I can imagine that someone somewhere is looking forward to the prospect of having a multicoloured swarm of Masterpiece Bumblebees.

The first two or three uses of a mould is what keeps it below a certain price-point... and if they are different established characters, it's not as bad as a fourth or fifth redeco that has a weird colour-scheme to it.

31 uses to a mould... now THAT is milking.
Good point about the use of multiple releases on one mould keeping costs down. Also, I imagine any profits from this thing potentially go towards R&D on new moulds, right?

And I wouldn't blame TakTOM if they re-released MP Cliffjumper in yellow, since it's been around since 1984.
