Did I read that right? The molds for the Skystriker are gone?
I was really looking forward to a new one. When was that found out? I'm a newbie to this site, but have been reading for a while... Finally! I'm not the only one! |

That's the word that the molds were lost/destroyed by Funskool so we are out of luck on that.

Good, I'm sick of everything getting rereleased. There's plenty already on ebay to go around.

All hope is not lost... they re-did the SkyHawk and Water Moccasin, they even re-tooled a jet already.

Even Mattel has said that their MOTU molds weren't made to last this long, so it's not just a lie/excuse like some are implying. If they redo it, it better be normal size, not smaller like the new Night Raven. I was stoked until I saw the Toyfair video, now I'm sadly disappointed and likely will buy no movie toys at all.

But all the other vehicles were new molds. ???
And yes, the W.H.A.L.E. would be the single greatest thing in the history of forever.

What i actually heard about the sky striker molds was:
funskool was told not to use salt water baths on the tooling. They did anyways, that and combined with them working that mold to death ended its days.
