That is such an awesome picture!
Also, from the Bobby Vala conversation, "sprue" is the word I've been looking for. This is has got to be why certain figures come with the parts they do! All the parts are combined into one sprue. So, where it is easy for a customizer to swap legs and arms with a certain torso, Hasbro has to pick what is already "sprued" together.
The problem here is when we have complete figures that would make awesome repaints as another character, like DOTD Flint/Retaliation Firefly repainted as Duke (not a perfect modern reproduction of ARAH Duke, but better than "O" face-Duke). I guess when Hasbro picks some terrible figure as an alternative we can say they "sprued" us again!
