I was looking at the awesome proto of the CG from the Con, and while it matches the '85 figure, it's not correct - the face plate should be silver, not black. The comics, the cartoon, everything showed the mask as silver. Check out the card artwork and the images of the CG below.

Short answer: Because the original has a black faceplate.

They can do a repaint later. For the first release I like that it is toy accurate. After all the original action figures are the only true cannon.

I think the black looks fine since thats how it was but if they don't release a silver one..you can always paint it. To me that helmet looks like it can come off like the cobra air trooper....you never know.:cool:
