Here is my theory, though I may be wrong, lol. He was specifically created for the movie line, even though he does not appear this way in the movie and they made him look like Renegades Zartan because they knew collectors wanted a Renegades Zartan. They also figured that if they made a Renegades Zartan in the future they could use some of the parts.

Even MY first thought was... hey that's probably a canceled Renegades figure. So I'm not disputing any of the evidence put forth... it is VERY Zartan Renegades in some respects. But the odds of them cancelling something THAT close to game time and then bringing it back out so close to the NEXT game time with the articulation changes isn't something we've ever seen before. So unless they canceled it at the same time they did the change up... I mean that's a lot of foresight... I just don't see it happening. Quote:
LoL i don't mean that!
Ok, maybe is not a "cancelled" Z, but at least "unreleased". A dteail like shoulders not matching...c'mon, the Renegades figures are not that spot on neither. Who know why he wasn't released... but the Renegades figures had a lot of reuse. Law had reused legs, even though it had original legs. Ripcord had an original vest, yet he got a reuse of Duke. Just saving cash on molds i guess, just like the cheaped out on accesories. Maybe they had Zartan on hold, becsue they where modifying the lower legs (taking out articulation). Who knows? But the result is a Zartan that looks dead on onto Renegades version. Way too much (not complaining here. I love this design, and so far i found all the other versions really ugly) See but you're assuming a Renegades Zartan went into tooling/production. And one might have. I'm not saying that's impossible. I just don't see it. I see what everyone is saying but I just don't see it.

That first part is exactly what I'm saying and that last part is actually very inspired. I'm impressed. Good thinking!
