That Brimstone is amazingly cool, and could be a "test shot."
But Black Lightning is just a regular one with his hands swapped. When you swap hands with most figures, there is no indication that it was ever done. I have swapped over 100 pairs of hands in my day, I should know. |

I have swapped over 100 pairs of hands in my day, I should know. Yeah, when I saw the Brimstone, I had to have it. Maybe it is a test shot. It can't be seen from my craptacular pics, but you can actually see a backwards part number in one of the translucent legs. |

It could also be a "lunchtime special." Either way, very hard to find I would think.

Rather than respond to all the vitriol in this forum, I will just provide a little insight to the situation by replying to this one post.
Quote:
Regardless of the reasons why, all those materials are considered proprietary and are never meant to be released to the public. Only when the corporation decides it will never continue development on the idea (and the release is cleared by their legal department) will the company release images/documents like this to the public on purpose. I've seen it happen several times over the years with all kinds of toys from various manufacturers. If it was indeed an internal leak, someone will probably lose his/her job over this. And no, CMIII, it won't be Scott because he would know better than anyone else at Mattel not to do or say anything on behalf of the company without checking with upper management and Legal first. I won't deny that maybe Mattel was still working on a way to finally move forward with DDU in spite of the failure of DCUC/CIE. Hasbro has done that in the past when a toy's development cycle had already reached the steel mold stage when the project or line has been cancelled. I don't believe that is the case, since Mattel already stated they needed a certain level of pre-sales before they would have started that stage of development for DDU. TL;DR Mockups and prototypes are done all the time. Just look at all those independent toy companies and Kickstarter campaigns for numerous examples. The only difference is that we are usually the investors/shareholders in that scenario. For larger corporations like Mattel, images and materials for unreleased or in-development projects are rarely shown to the public, if ever. Most likely, Mattel never meant for that image to be released.

@Trebleshot
Makes sense, but I do hope that it was an intentional leak aimed at creating some viral buzz....It would be nice to pick up a DDU, even if it represented a last hurrah for DCUC. |

While that's certainly possible, it seems a little underhanded and unnecessary for a company as large as Mattel. At least to me, anyway.
Not to mention it's a huge gamble for them, publicity-wise. If the comments in this thread are any indication, it's back-firing.

So no one saved the leaked pic of this DDU?

I enjoy it, just for the sake it's like they are begging people for money. Full on begging, and if begging doesn't work, they threaten us.

Well the SDCC Doomsday was 35$ so I am guessing Unleashed will be 45$-50$. I don't care I will have at least 3 of them. Death of Superman is one of my top 5 fav comic stories.
