It's because of releases like this, HT needs to Explore the possibilities of "expansion packs". If it's the same exact figure with NO visual differences, how bad of an idea can an "extras" pack be? The breather, Affleck HS, gadgets from SS. This might potentially not sell all too well....
I'd love accessory, weapon and head sets for like $100. An RPG, pipe, and new headsculpt for Ledger Joker. A beret, tie, and new flesh make up head for Nicholson Joker. A bolo grapple, some smiling, angry mouthplates, the glider and damaged/bloodied head for Keaton Batman. A new sonar head, mouthplates and a few odds and ends for Bale Batman. A few accessory sets for more Adam West Batman and Robin aresenal. Updated portraits and guns like the gas grenade launcher for the T-800 and T-1000.
But Hot Toys would never do them. Why go through that when they can get more $$$ for full figures that use the same body, accessories, etc. It'll never happen. This is the closest we've gotten to such a set.

Yeah they can sell plenty of full figures with minor changes. They should include an Affleck HS and it would outsell the original release!
I agree extras packs would be a cool idea but I can see why they don't do them. Why do that when they can sell a full figure and make more money? Especially when it's a popular character that will sell anyways.
Thing is in this case it's a new sculpt with the breather on. I can understand why they wouldn't want to start selling sculpts individually because if they start doing that there's less incentive for people to buy their figures.I would be more inclined to buy an accessory pack then +$200 for a figure that only has one small minor change from original version.
