Oh, by all means, that one is absolutely fantastic! The previous list is not exhaustive, it could be a few pages long!
They could do it without upsetting anyone. You see, there is always at least something that could be made better or more faithful to the original: the pantographs could be painted silver on grey roof, if the lights or some other details are just stickers, they could be painted, and so on.
Then, there are models (like the little Kiha trains above) that haven't been released in the colour schemes of some companies; why not a re-release in some other (previously not released) colours? KIHA railcars come in many other colours, and other trains and trams too. [That goes for recent models too: Wakayama train with Chuggington wrapping is nice, but there are other wrappings on that line that wood look really nice (and would be very popular models) like the Strawberry Train, or Tama the Cat wrapping train!]
So, unless the moulds of the older models are lost, they could easily re-release many models (with improvements) and not just so recently released one (like Hello Kitty Shinkansen). Why don't they?

About the name of the train 36+3 Express 787:
The meaning of 36+3 is derived from the fact that Kyushu is the 36th largest island in the world, combined with the 3 elements of JR Kyushu, locals, and customers coming together on the new service. Additionally, the number 39 is written as “san-kyu” in Japanese, which is also similar to how “thanks” is pronounced in the language.
