Which was very clever/thoughtful of Playmates, actually. Too bad Hasbro hadn't thought of that, as there'd be far fewer Gyro-Vipers/Toxo-Vipers/etc with chipped noses floating around.
And this kinda thing is still happening, too (
sorta
). Since, supposedly, spoilers are the reason the new ML MCU Black Panther has been delayed and will only be added "at a later date" to the Wakanda Forever wave "as a running change".
That makes sense due to the entire movie being about who will wear the mantle.
And also goes with the rumors that Disney wants to cut ties with Letitia Wright and scrambled to change BP going forward to another character.
Also kind of odd we don't have ANY Shuri figure shown despite her being the MC of the movie supposedly. Not even in pretty much any outfit in the movie beyond in a BP suit.
