i remember there being a ton of flack against hasbro because everyone thought hope was a permanent fixture on the cable figure based on the early shots. so i think hasbro did the running change without hope to appease the masses only for us to find out with the packaged figure that hope was always gonna be a separate piece.

so another wave of backlash against hasbro ensued after the toy was released because people were enraged that hasbro would "cheap out" on us by not including both chest pieces with every figure.
