>>11482347they made a Unicorn Horn mold for Animal Crossing, despite the fact that there is only ONE unicorn character in the game. if they made it a regular horse head, they could have re-colored/printed it for use on dozens of characters
think about another company, like Funko blind boxes, or Disney Doorables, or even Star Wars action figures. those companies make dozens of "new mold!" figures several times a year, with massive amounts of "new mold!" figures. and those sell for a lot less, and likely a lot less volume amount, than your average Lego set.
despite the reputation of it, I don't think "NEW MOLD" is a big deal for Lego. they could easily make multiple unique, amazing new things in each and every set if they wanted to
