Nah I think it has to do with more the Venom torso being clearly better to own over the crossed-arms torso.

Had they used the Venom torso along with the crossed-arms torso as an exclusive/ultimate, they'd never move the regs. I think it's a good decision to use the torso everyone would rather own (Venom torso) as a regular.

If I were getting Bane, I don't think I'd ever display the Jacket version so the Regular would be an easy choice.

For me, the Venom is a vital part of his character. I'd rather have that on display.

You have a great point. I say it would be cool having almost two statues for one... but I would only display the venom one.

The price difference will determine how worth it this will be for the jacket version

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Just watched Batman last night and my wife and I can't get over how absolutely TERRIBLE Bane sounds in it. There is no freaking way I could ever take him seriously. Even if he had a nuke...

He sounded better than Bale, IMO.

Bale sounded like he's trying to be a monster with his voice. Lol I hope prime 1 can make a Olivia from the new x-men psylocke in 1/3 someday

I think you're both probably right. I think they wanted to give buyers the option of a cheaper package with the one torso, and I think they picked the venom torso as the default/regular, knowing it would be the better seller.

I think the jacket version plays to the cerebral part of this character. Bane fans will have a tough choice ahead.
