Oh yeah, I think this is BS as well.
Not that I think the head should have been released with the current offerings, just the way they went about it.
They shouldn't have added the "battle damaged" bits like the helmet and armor chest piece to the first version since they're doing this. Having that swap out chest piece and a helmet that doesn't even have a likeness underneath just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. The regular figure would be more solid without a thin, removable chest piece panel and gimmicky swap out parts.
I'd have no problem if they made a regular version and then a battle damaged version with Weller sculpt later from the climax of the film. But there's an uncertainty with this one. How do we know they don't make a Robocop 2 version with Weller's mug? They're just all over the place with their picks, ideas and choices. None of it really makes sense, especially their coming soon announcements or how things just pop up randomly.
Either way, it seems silly. I'm glad there will be an unmasked Robocop with Weller likeness available to me though.
