GW now sells a Finecast set ("Armour Through the Ages") with one each of Mk I through Mk V. These are recasts of some of the earlier models: the Mk I Thunder Suit with bolter that was cast as a single piece (070270/9), plus the Mk III Iron Armour with bolt pistol and chainsword that was likewise; the Mk II, Mk IV, and Mk V armours are all patterned after the armless versions that took plastic arms and shoulder pauldrons.
I remember when the "new" sculpts came out. With the exception of the Mk I (which were all sclupted as a single piece), every variant had two single-piece castings and one body that took separate arms. The "separate arms" models appear at various places in the catalogues throughout the 90's, and the older versions of the single-piece castings are on page 7 of the Blue Catalogue from 1991, but I have yet to find the "new" models listed anywhere.

Anybody by chance know those remaining part numbers? They seem like they should be in my catalogues or on SoL somewhere, but I just can't seem to locate them. They must have had numbers, though, as the pair of Mk I's in my collection I ordered as bitz (they're only historic armours I have cast in white metal) from GW back when they allowed that sort of thing.
