Yup, I know- got a few of them myself last weekend. It's actually the same SB upper and lower torso with new arms and legs (taken from Stalker/POC snake eyes mold), and those legs were also used on blueshirt etc.
All of these changes were no doubt purely a cost issue, similar to when Hasbro removed the blueshirt's barbed wire and one of his pistols for the second wave release. I think its an intereting change for the SB (especially since the original ones appropriately changed body parts several times back in the original line) but he doesn't look as good as the original 30th wave 1/POC release look IMO. This time, his missiles are actually molded in khaki rather than the original black. The bayonet tip of his rifle is unpainted as well as the shovel on his backpack. Thankfully I have so many spare parts that I was able to get mine replacement pistols, silencers and knives for those lonely holsters on their right legs!
