Whaa waaa that Deathstroke figure is awesome, I think that's a buyer for sure.
Shown below via robdtoys is an in-hand look at the new DC Direct Page Punchers 7" Platinum Edition Deathstroke Figure from McFarlane Toys. You can purchase the regular edition of this figure from our sponsors BigBadToyStore.com and Entertainment Earth as well as Amazon with a suggested retail price of $24.99 but please remember that PLATINUM EDITION figures are not guaranteed when placing an order.
So 7"inch scale Damien would be...what, four or five, maybe five and a half inches tall compared to the rest of the line? It's how NECA's stuff works, judging from the descriptions of their M3GAN figures. Depending on how this one scales with the rest of my non-McFarlane collection, I may get this Damien to replace the DC Direct one I already have.

Yeah, that was kind of his point. I mean, if you were a professional photographer creating marketing material, wouldn't you take enough pride in your work and have enough basic diligence and general competency to take a pause and say, "hold up, maybe we should fix this before proceeding?" You know, if you rose to the degree where that were how you made your living? You wouldn't notice?

You can even notice Deathstroke's staff is warped in that image. Great marketing team.
Wow. I remember the early days of McFarlane with the DC license and all the heaps of praise for how much better they supposedly were than Hasbro, with "all original sculpts" and other things. Well, hello, Deathstroke. Nothing but a repaint. The colors are not as good as the previous version. On top of that, they stand in stark contrast to the artwork, which is FAR darker. The weapons on this are much better than the silly sword with the original, BUT...a knife sheath with no knife. McFarlane is capable of so much good with their products, but it's like they have some unpublished rule that they can never fully deliver on that potential in any individual offering.

I'm putting the sword in that sheath no matter what
Lots of people like McFarlane's figures (although, I think, maybe a portion of that is people like DC characters and he's the only game in town), but to say that Hasbro is as lazy or weird in its parts reuse as McFarlane is inaccurate. RobertD cited some very bizarre examples of McFarlane's parts reuse (his love of that zip-up Catwoman torso is unbelievable) so I won't belabor the point. I will just say that I think he's right.
