need of producing new molds
. In order to get the quick win though you sacrifce the quality of well designed lined. If they were able to add another year these might of been closer to the original O-rings.
well they did produce new molds

That is a sound idea because I do need another HISS driver to go with my 25th tank. Plus I bet many people would love to update their Crankcase.

Not sure what they'd do for cobra except if the hiss tanks from SDCC are indicators then it appears the rattler mold is still around.
An Ace that looks like he jumped out of a Sunbow cartoon would be awesome!
Plus 25th Wild Weasel was just a repaint of Snow Job with a new head. It would be nice if they made one more like the original.
In fact there were many 25th figures like WW who I would like to be closer to their original o-ring selves.
