...but I like gritty Joes! Seriously though, it is an expensive process to make new molds or dies. The last die we had made at work several years ago cost us over $10,000 Aus (around $8,000 US). Alot of the expense is in the precision required and the metal that is used, as it has to be specially hardened. So if you think along the lines that to recreate an old figure with new dies, with 10 or 15 body parts, that's a lot of cash to outlay for a figure which might not sell well.
