    Leech is a weird choice if they're really worried about new parts that can't be used on other figures - almost nothing about him is reusable.
    I have a suspicion that they will eventually do more variants of the same character.

    The day that MOTUC does a Leech variant is the day it jumps the shark. Or the leech.

    My conspiracy theory is that they are putting 200X heads on hold because they want to do variants in the future. Toyguru has already hinted at a possible 200X King Hisss. It is much more profitable to make fans buy a whole new figure than offering extra heads and accessories. This is purely a collector line and there seems to be a lot of demand for modernized heads yet they won't do them but the occasional hint is thrown in every now and then that they are considering a variant. Specially since they want to keep the line going for a ridiculous amount of time.

    So if my conspiracy theory is true, a possible 200X Leech could happen.

    Leech looks awesome. One of the best figures of 2011

    It looks like Leech has wrist articulation and the blades on Hordak's weapon also look articulated

    I'm with you Kup!
    I loved this figure as a kid, I thought the suction caps were odly fitting and he just came across as a cool looking figure - I'm very tempted to grab one of these guys!

    Fore reference, here is what Leech looked like in the 200X cartoon:





    He was drawn with a much smaller mouth than both the vintage and staction. Given that MOTUC Leech has a mouth similar to 200X, I do think that it is a hybrid design with the vintage figure styling being the dominant art direction.

    The Hurricane Hordak is a must have for me.
