Doc was lost for years. He shared his waist and arms with Duke, and when time came to release Tiger Force Duke in 1988, the Doc mold was gone, supposedly lost in South America. So Hasbro had to make due using Hit'N'Run arms and a Cobra Trooper waist.
Falcon's lower body was lost when Battle Corps Leatherneck's lower body was lost. I heard that after his 2003 release, the upper body mold was lost as well. Either way, it's no big loss as the v1 Falcon is still the perfect representation of the character.
Gung-Ho's mold was supposedly lost after his 1997 re-release. His lower arms and his waist survived through the 1997-AntiVenom-HAS-ComicPack Duke mold, but other than that...
Cover Girl, much like Doc, lost her mold loooong ago in South America.
