Because people will buy more of the base figure to get another body to stick the head on. It's a great business model that the idiot bean counters ignored for years.

Agreed. i find myself back-collecting MU figures not just for customizing but also because they are out of production. While finding them in various non-retail stores like local comic/hobby shops and flea markets, i must confess i miss seeing them in an actual toy aisle.
