>>5680986There's a high possibility that the original molds are either lost, or in a state of disrepair so they can't be used. So these new molds are produced in lieu of reissues.
A lot of toylines that got frequent reissues(G1 Transformers, GI Joe,) where able to do so because the original molds where still used somewhat recently when they decided to reissue them. For example, G1 Transformers got rereleases in the late 80's, then reused in G2, and in China a bunch of G1 molds where released in the 90's. So when they started doing reissues in 2000, the molds where still kept on record.
Now with sentai stuff, a lot of those DX releases are only planned to be released for a single year. We've seen sort of reissues in america since around in Space(The rereleased the Super Zeo Zords), but the oldest mold we've seen reused was Ninjor. So, maybe its pure conjecture, but maybe the old molds are just lost to history.
