looking for lost figurines

The original Series 77 were some of my favorite figures, although many thought the sculpts were a little lacking in leg length & proportions.  The original owners sold out to a new owner & the quality of the castings went seriously downhill.  The new guy then moved the operation to Hawaii, which made shipping back to the mainland prohibitively expensive & coupled with the loss of casting quality, the Company died.  I've lost track of the time, but I think they have been out of production for around 20 years.  I always wondered what happened to the original sculpts & molds.  Wasn't aware they may be coming back under yet another new owner.  Could be good news .
