STUPID STUPID writing, I expected better from Grant Morrison.

I don't. Morrison is great when he's writing for really obscure stuff, or his own things. But he is the absolute worst writer you could ever choose to put on a major title like X-Men or Batman. He loves to make changes for the sake of making changes, and I honestly believe he does it to piss fans off.
It's one thing to rock the boat or shake things up, it's another to make changes with no reason behind it (Like Red Hood, turning Beast into a cat, or giving Emma stupid "diamond" powers). He has no respect for established continuity.

That said, on topic... Red Hood/Jason Todd isn't a character I have any attachment to. I don't love or hate him, and so this toy may as well not exist for me. But maybe they chose this costume to get the character out to us, while saving the costume everyone wants for a possible retail release? I dunno... that's the only thing I can think of that makes logical sense. Though it seems to me the subscription will reach more hardcore fans than retail would.
That Captain Marvel Jr though... it's about time we get the Marvel family completed!
