Hello Steve, 
Needless to say that reproducing these has been discussed before... and before that.  
Essentially it comes down to the selling price. If someone can sell the repros for 3 pounds each or 5 for 10 pounds that seems like they would sell, but at 5 pounds each then its better to wait for bargains on EBay. 
The prime market probably already have these figures so unlikely to buy.  The manufacturer needs to think about his market-place.

Several years ago now, the "Tarn Model Foundry" produced excellent new figures and there was quite a high demand for them. I have several TMF rally spectators and also some 1968 Italian Job figures that were produced as well. I think that the original creator gave up for personal reasons rather than any problems with the figures. About 3 years ago Bob Chapman (Canadian "Chappy") bought the moulds and stuff with the intention of putting the TMF figures back into production and the news was greeted warmly but as yet no sign of production starting.
