Since the Club is closing shop, what happens to all the molds they used? The Dr. Mindbender head? The Jinx head? Metal Head? Big Boa? And many others? What happens to all the molds that both Hasbro and the Club used for all those figures and vehicles and playsets? Do they get thrown out? Do you think Hasbro has plans to reuse them for any future lines? Do they just get tossed into a storage unit and collect dust and cobwebs? Seems like a waste to me of some very valuable molds.

Apparently once Mattel closed MattyCollector.com, they threw out all of the MOTUC molds, at least according to Super7.
So my guess is that unless Hasbro is planning a revival of the line in the near future, the same thing will happen at the factory that makes G.I. Joe.

They made such a big deal out of this when discussing the Ultimates and re-releasing some Club Grayskull figures.

Isn’t the company line that we’ll get new toys if/when we get a new movie? If that’s the case, it seems logical they’d simply store the molds.

Yeah, I think its been posited that the Club owns the new tooling they've produced, but I'm not sure that's the case. I might be completely ignorant compared to many of you in regards to the workings of Joe and the Club, but I was completely unware that Hasbro designs the figures, and not the Club, until this whole Hawk debacle.
that would indicate to me the Club doesn't really own shit, and Hasbro will just bank the molds for if/when they need them again.

Its called intellectual property, and it all belongs to Hasbro. Hasbro will store the molds IF the cost is manageable. If not, the molds will be destroyed.
