Just to be clear:
CMON are selling these "exclusive" models at conventions. They were selling them at BGG-con last year.
They are already "supporting people who did not support the Kickstarter". Now the line is just being drawn between those fortunate enough to have the resources (time and money) to attend conventions and those who don't.

As has been said, they made it clear during the campaign that they would be doing this and although I'm not sure if it's just Dave, El Cholo and Nick or the future ones as well. But the amount they sell at conventions compared to a general retail release is huge and also isn't breaking any promisess they made.

I think folks forget these are just small plastic models. Does it REALLY matter that much who has them and who doesn't?
Well, it seems to matter to you because you've been arguing quite fervently that they should be made available for general release because you are one of the people who missed the Kickstarter. And judging how many other people have said they want them and how much they go for on eBay then yes it does matter. If it doesn't just go get proxies, there are many threads suggesting very good ones.

Perhaps they ought to not to release alternative sculpts...and just keep distributing them via conventions. They will eventually get disseminated around and the longer they do it the cheaper the prices on ebay will be for those who cannot attend conventions.
They've already said that they will not be making alternative sculpts. But I agree that as more people get hold of them, and in particular once the second shipment arrives and lots of people put them on eBay they will begin to drop in price.
