And surely at some point they will release John without the bike. The bike version will be the con exclusive.

Ding, ding, ding!

Here is the biggest reason why this is an exclusive! Eventhough it actually looks like the actor, people naturally are not into a kid character figure, thus judging it way too harshly..to the point of no purchase. The expression is dead on! They even included the T2 3D Universal Studios Ride head sculpt, which is a slightly older version. I’m sure the bike and all the accessories set them back, it even cost $50! More than most any ultimate, and he’s a kid....small figure!
Same thing happened with Newt. People said it didn’t look enough like her, or they had no interest. I know for some it sucks that John is an exclusive, but just remember...there are always people out there that think like this. For that reason, the demand for mass release isn’t there. My guess is that they’ll handle this like Newt, and release him with Sarah in a set. She needs a restock anyway, ebay is pretty high now.
