Want to improve one enormously? Drop the original legs for Tundra Wolf replacements. Same sculpt on the original DA minis for the legs (like the Thor/Loki), but the T-Wolf's legs turned out much better- it makes a huge difference. The missiles are still kind of a mess, but the leg swap helps a ton.
Cool solution! Maybe IWM listen to that!  I have to revisit my two Jupiter minis one per variant redo them.

Unless the Jupiter 3 is super popular, it would have to be fan financed. IWM can't afford to just toss away molds and pay for a new one unless there is already a demand.

I doubt the Jupiter is anywhere close to being that popular.

Jupiter was go to mech for early Dark Age novels.  It IS game stats very solid mech.

Early Dark Age novels seemed to be promoting the new mechs.
