If I had to guess it might have something to do with the rumors/leaks about a megafig Bane, like they made the figure first for that and then realized they could easily just make a new head to also put him out as the collect-to-build for the Last Knight on Earth wave with the appropriately altered paint scheme. The theory actually has some more weight to it too since there's a lot of sculpted details about the figure that clearly aren't taken from LKoE Bane but would totally apply to a more generic Rebirth inspired Bane. If that's the case then it could account for why he was so tough for most people to put together, because he wasn't technically designed to be. Or I'm totally wrong and McFarlane just made a weirdly hard to put together Bane.

If I wanted to build figures, I'd buy Legos.

(I do wonder about the QC of some figures. The New 52 Red Hood's arms fall out of the shoulder sockets really easily.)
