MY suspicion is that the first wave was a "quick turnaround" and used immediately available assets, where as they had some development time for wave 2. All of the wave 1 figures saw a release from 2014 to now, and largely unchanged. Retaliation Ultimate Storm Shadow was released in 2013. It's also possible that the tooling is bundled with movie stuff and got "mixed up" in however these are stored.
Yeah, given some of their choices in parts, and having heard similar statements from the FCC parts available, I have to believe that certain parts are tied together with particular "trees" that are molded together, which is why, for a possible example, the "retro" Scarlett does not come with 25th gloves/lower arms.
I'm sure we will see a good mix of Storm Shadows and Snake Eyes next year as we get closer to the movie's release. Now may be a good time for the Hasbro team to figure out what styles work in the 4" line as opposed to just copying the 6" line in a smaller scale.
