Wish they would re-release more

Was wondering how production costs were so high. It's pretty clear that you could do a re-release on Grievous, Darth Maul and The Sandtrooper two pack and fetch $125-$150 MSRP for each. I just think that pricing is off on a lot of statues. Rey & Finn MSRP $130, now goes for $60 on Amazon. Poe & BB8 MSRP $110, now goes for $82 on Amazon. Capt. Phasma MSRP $80, now goes for $30-$40 on eBay and Amazon. I understand that you need to push out new movie product, but it would be nice to see more prequel releases in 1/10 scale. Mace Windu, Count Dooku, Anakin Skywalker, Prequel Obi-Wan, Padme, Qui Gon Jinn. These would sell well. Also, any plans for other highly requested statues:
X-Wing Pilot Luke
Hoth Leia/Bespin Han Solo 2 pack
Grand Moff Tarkin
Bounty Hunters at 1/10
Lando
Wedge Antilles
It would be great to see more of the original movie and prequel lineup.

We actually announced during our panel at Wondercon this past weekend that 4-LOM would be joining our ARTFX+ line. Also more Star Wars ARTFX+ announcements will be made around May 4th for the now annual Star Wars day.

I'm curious, for the pieces re-issued after a few years, does the licencing and approval need to be renegotiated, or does the first approval gives Koto the right to produce it again whenever they please?
I know Disney is trying to stop new Slave Leia merchandise; but could Koto re-issue their old ArtFX slave Leia if they wanted to?

1. Why are bishoujos being re-release when there are tons of other DC/Marvel ladies that have yet to be made?
2. Is the DC and Marvel bishoujo line still going strong or is it at the risk of cancellation too? Will we get new characters soon?
3. How is the Ikemen line doing? Will there be other characters after the Batman line?

I, for one, am not complaining. I started collecting recently and there's a lot of older statues I missed. Though I will say that I prefer the face sculpts of the newer bishoujos better and, like Supergirl, would rather have a newer version (with a better face) for my favorite characters. Most of them were released in earlier waves, like Wonder Woman, Sue Storm, Elektra and X-23.
IOW, For any character already relesed:
Newer bishoujo > re-issue of older bishoujo > no bishoujo at all
