Where's all the people *****ing and moaning about re-releasing a statue with a color change like this complained about the DCC Batman vs. Killer Croc? Just another example that pretty much most companies maximize their investments by re-release products with mods.
I'm kind of surprise that this wasn't put up during the Spooktacular as part of their black and white statues.
Gentle Giant has already used this repainting tactic.
First the deluxe imperial StormTrooper, which was a cool 1/6th statue with swap out heads and arms for different poses.
Followed by a red Magma Trooper (ed: 450).
Then the BlackHole Trooper (ed 1000) as an SDCC exclusive.
