My thoughts on the EX and why it's so much better than the reg:
I would say that it's kinda like what makes the hand for the Patient Zero Pf so popular. (Well except for the 100 ES and I guess the fact that it's similar to what the original figure had)
He's walking around carrying a part of one of his victims. It makes him brutal. He can back up his terrifying image.
Picture this,... you're a member of the opposing force in the middle of a huge battle. A loud angry growl catches your attention. You glance to your right and notice this creature standing before you. He's HUGE. He towers over you! You notice he's clutching something in his closed fist. He raises it towards the sky and once again lets out a booming howl. Just then lightening pierces the sky briefly illuminating the object in his grasp. You stare in horror as you realize he's holding onto the decapitated head of one of your comrades.
The arrows(reg) show that he cannot be stopped,... and the severed head(EX) shows what he does to those who try to stop him!
The severed head makes a statement!!!
(Trying to keep the excitement up even though I don't need to)
