Wish I knew man.
Hard to say if they care or not. I have gotten the impression over the years now that some do, some don't... Some would say we should be happy with them as they are while others would say that "yeah, I wish we could have done this or that differently". At least that's the impression I've gotten from them.
I think sets like this shouldn't skimp really though. You're looking at $20 retail plus the fact that these are sculpts that really can be re-used many times diminishing their fixed costs tremendously over time... Don't skimp and just re-use these things for years.
I'd be fine seeing the Evolutions Anakin(s) carded throughout the life of this line, seriously. Same with VOTC figures... Little tweaks here and there to them would even be appreciated by me. I'd re-buy VOTC Han if they thew in a headset, and extra set of hands with painted gloves, know what I mean?
Or I'd re-buy VOTC Leia if she had a removable plastic hood up and down.
But yeah, I'd even dig seeing the Evolutions Clone sculpts re-used just so they could put more Clones out there... Why not, ya know? A good way to cut those costs they needed for start-up that are fixed while still making a snazzy profit and helping out collectors. You got good relations, you got diminished cost, you got higher profit... How much more logical can one get? I'd buy the Sandtrooper in any number of colors. Hell I'd take an EU one with the Yellow Pauldron with the Railgun from the Kyle Katarn figure. Instant EU Dark Forces Stormtrooper man!
Paint that AOTC Clone up in every nicely battledamaged flavor, I'll buy them all... If they could figure out how, you could even throw a Kama on him, a helmet with a range finder, and I'd buy some ARC's.
I'd buy these figures just as they were in the packs though. I'd love getting more E2 Clone Pilots, more White grunts, and a variety of E3 Clone Commanders/Troopers too. Seems like a winning situation to re-release this stuff!
Sorry for the long-winded pro-re-elease rant.
