Think of the first Toybiz figure vs the second one:

You think Hasbro matches musculatures and physiques that accurately? I wish they did; I'd have fewer complaints were that the case.

Also, the differences that you point out in the old Toy Biz figs seem more like a progression of improved sculpts rather than some intentional attempt to reflect exacting approximations of Apocalypse.

Additionally, Apocalypse's size altering abilities diminish the importance of any perceived slimness, or girth for that matter.

Have you noticed the retooled tweaks to the fig's upper body (head design, pigmentation, collar, shoulder pads, corrugated ab section, "A" font on belt, the belt itself, and gauntlets) that reflect exactly the Simonson design?

I don't foresee Hasbro having any qualms about reissuing anything, especially given that this will be the third Apocalypse, but you are entitled to your opinion. We'll see if Hasbro holds true to form regarding their penchant for reuse, especially given the number of collectors saying they'd grab this reveal if the colors were tweaked.
