I was looking at some heads online and noticed that the head that came with Whiteout from the POC Wolfhound hasn't been used on any other figures. Why isn't this one used but we get the same POC Dusty head on every other new figure? Image isn't he handsome? What other headsculpts have been under used.

It's entirely possible that the mold was lost or damaged. It happens.

And we get the same head used for three of the 25th Original 13.

It's because there is an over abundance of Shipwreck heads that must be used up. I'm predicting hasbro must have 20 yrs worth in stock to use up.

Good call on Whiteout, I always forget it's a new head under the hood and goggles.

White Out and Aqua-Viper were two that got new heads that were kinda baffeling to me, like, why THESE two?

I'm surprised the Club hasn't re-used the head they molded for Topside. They could recolor it and it would be pretty unrecognizable.

Could be that the Whiteout head just doesn't work with any new bodies. Its also a bit small in comparison to the newer heads, more 25th size than 30th/POC/Retaliation size.

^ would still be an upgrade over the head that keeps getting used for Steeler, which has to be top 3 of the worst heads in the modern era

Or at least top 3 that haven't been corrected by a later release

Someone on Facebook ordered a Budo body from a Chinese seller and actually got a Topside head ON the Budo figure.... which people thought was weird..

I liked the Aqua viper head, I think I read somewhere it was an Indiana Jones head.

I know that guy. I bought a Dice from him about two weeks ago.

BTW, Dice uses the Aqua Viper head, just pointing out that head did get reused.
