It's usually a waste of staff members and money to model coords they're only going to use once in the series, creating the new model's is a long process as often they have to add individual physics for each layer and accessory on the coord. As someone who used to make MMD models- it's very time consuming. You also have to take into account that the original Aikatsu was owned by Sunrise and had a larger staff team working on it, however Aikatsu Stars and Aikatsu Friends is both owned by bandai- which has a smaller team for the franchise.
