We didn’t think it would happen, we were TOLD it wouldn’t happen.  Most of us had given up  hope of it every happening.  We were told not to want it or expect it.  The DCUC line was DEAD.  Over.   2 more quarterly figures, the Super Powers stuff and then lights out. Over, everyone head home, nothing to see here.   But, behind the scenes Scott and the MattyCollector team was still working on a “hail mary” pass.

Just like the unstoppable force that was strong enough to kill Superman… the fans kept hope,  they suggest ideas, possible scenarios under which it could still happen.  They NEEDED one more figure…

One last figure for the 6″ DCUC fans the tier 2 Club Infinite Earths 2014 oversized figure… DOOMSDAY Unleashed!

There was a glimmer of hope earlier this week when an image of what looked to be a boxed sample surfaced and was passed around the internet, but even then the figure had still not been greenlit by the powers that be.    It was still said this was a proposal mock-up that was presented to the licensors.   Once again… hopes were dashed.

Today that all changed!!

This was just posted over on the MattyCollector Facebook page:

Celebrating the official end of the Four Horsemen 6″ DC Universe line, Mattel is excited to partner with Warner Bros. and DC Comics to bring you the long-in-coming “Unleashed” Doomsday figure! He will be available this winter in an amazing window box diorama as a standalone day-of purchase! Images and full details to come, but we couldn’t wait to share this news with our fans! This final figure will celebrate the end of a fantastic toy line.
