For better or worse, McFarlane's goal is to spread the cost of development out over multiple releases so he can keep the line as unique molds for each character at $20 for basic and $25 for BAF versions. Unlike Hasbro and NECA, he hasn't been reusing the parts on different characters (which is how those companies keep their costs what they are).
Is it ideal? Not at all. But it's why you're only paying $20 to $25 and not $30+ per figure.
If that's there goal then they going about it in a very anti consumer way. Its one of the worst options Mcfarlane could have taken.
That alternate head is not worth $5+. Just like Flashpoint Batman, the head should have been included with the basic figure.
The perfect option was right there. One box is a BAF exclusive to target and the other is wide release. Both could have come with the alt head.
Mcfarlane is other options to entice variants but not do in a shameful way.
They've already been reusing the Superman infected mold for other Superman characters.
How about their chase figures. Instead of making one per box, offer more(with more sensible colors) like they do with Mortal Kombat.
They could have done a Shriek with inverted colors where they get all the heads.
The customer should go "I already order the normal figure but those alt colors are awesome too". They shouldn't feel ripped off like Mcfarlane is doing with these alt heads/hands.

Though in this case the BAF is a Target exclusive with the non BAF being the figure everyone else is getting. So the BAF is the variant this go round.
