Apparently so. I think I mentioned it elsewhere, but Hasbro has also tried to get unreleased/cancelled figures out if they feel the demand is still there, so I'm not all that surprised with Mattel's actions. My guess at this point is that Mattel was hoping to make a big announcement to save face with DC fans and someone let the cat out of the bag (or the killing machine out of the containment suit) and Mattel had to accelerate their plans.

At least all the DCUC fans will finally get the chance to get a figure they really wanted, even if the road to get there was mapped worse than a faulty GPS.

People actually don't, just in case no one knew.

No argument here. I don't have any interest in the figure, either. But I at least respect the designer's intentions. Same thing I do with a lot of those eHobby Transformers (which I would say is comparable to Mattycollector stuff in this situation).

I also understand the frustrations of being forced to commit to something you don't want in order to get things you actually want. There's more to it, but this neither the place nor the format for that type of discussion.
