Can't meet safety laws, mold lost/damaged, too expensive, not enough potential return seen by HasTak, etc...
There's a big difference between reusing a mold for a movie franchise that's still active (and they usually do change the mold in some way), and dredging up a 20 year old japanese-exclusive toy for collectors.
Don't get me wrong, it would be awesome, but its usually just not feasible, especially on this side of the Pacific.
