Several of the '07-'16 molds were the original tooling, modified for new figures. The two vehicles we know we're getting, the AWE and HISS, have never been 100% new tooling at any point. They have been modified, bit by bit, over the course of decades. Some vehicle molds have been so slightly modified, they still have the vintage copywrite stamp.
I did always like when we got 100% new tooling, like for the Skyhawk, but Hasbro has shown time and time again that they hold on to old stuff and reuse it to save money whenever possible. I predict that this line will be a mix of old tooling and new tooling.
