I understand your POV as well, especially if you were someone who really wanted the screaming portrait (for example) and DIDN'T want to buy Lady Death, which basically adds a LOT to the price (and space) for those Thanos-only fans. I think people really underestimate how much height (32 inches) and depth (29 inches) that you'll need to display them both in the way they're displayed by XM.
I get why XM wanted to offer the switch-outs as an exclusive but you are right that they could have done more than having zero switch outs for the stand-alone, at least in Thano's case. That decision would have had to be made at the start when he debuted and maybe they could have added the bald head as a compromise
I honestly wonder if they wanted to control the ES a little, so they didn't have another 999 statues to piss off everyone who bought the EX. That said, I was going to display him
exactly as he is with the stand-alone, which is probably why it doesn't really bother me. I don't have a lot of stuff on PO, mostly because I'm new to this so I'm really fussy about what I buy but he's one of them, as I think he's going to turn out exceptional and can't wait to see him! Still... That doesn't mean I can't understand why someone else would be frustrated with XMs decision, but the ship's sailed... no turning back now.
