I feel pretty bad for those people that have spent $99 on ebay for the non-hope version when that seems to be the one that's more common, if you can call the figure common at all.

In my opinion no kid is going to want a baby stuck to the front of his action figure, but a collector with knowledge of the character Hope and her history with Cable would want it pretty badly. I think the version with Hope is a nod to collectors, and now that Hasbro has given us what we want they will focus on the general market.
