Make everybody scrounge around for it, since Todd loves to force "the chase", then eventually do a 3rd release as a general one, for "Rises" since the Tumbler was the TDK version (for some baffling reason) and this is the Begins version. He ain't letting this mold go to waste. Then after that look for the inexplicable Glow in the Dark Amazon exclusive and the GameStop "Frostbite" versions, LOL.

Start working on the Easy Reader customs.

I'd say those people can go be angry then. If they bought a $100.00 item just to get to the 6" figure, who cares their judgement. ESPECIALLY when anyone who's seen this McFarlane guy's stuff, knows full well he puts out the same thing over and over with just paint changes. It wouldn't surprise me if he uses this exact figure for a Jimmy Olsen figure, won't even bother to change the face, just repaint it. Worse, there are people who will buy it too.
Good likeness.
Secondary market going to be flooded with both versions but probably not enough to where it won't be expensive.
This would be cool to get.
Yep. Todd and crew doing sketchy crap yet again, exactly like they did with the Anne Hathaway Catwoman. If people wouldn't end up missing out on things they want, I'd say we should boycott McFarlane so they might open their ears and listen to how many people are becoming increasingly frustrated with their sometimes nonsensical and/or frustrating decisions. From what I can tell, however, the company seems to operate with Todd's mindset as its culture, which is that something has to nosedive into the ground before he pulls back and says, "Oh, that wasn't the best idea ever?"
