Yes, if you noticed I posted again, because an Edit would have been useless, because you were already responding.

If the skin released is a different color as Moira pointed out then thereās no legal issues.
The ārecolourā just looks like a shoddy photoshop to me.

Itās really different from the purple tho. They would have had to put a lot of work into it.
Poor lighting/picture probably

Hey everyone just to clarify a few facts.
I reviewed the news blog posts and the videos of the original promotion, nowhere is it listed that Pink Mercy (or frankly any other skin for that matter) is posted as a one-time exclusive, now they do say limited time, meaning there is only a small window of opportunity to acquire the cosmetic. Technically yes, the skin could return. However, any cosmetic item that is listed as a Legacy 
item is not expected to return.
The only time a Legacy item was ever re-released was Demon Hunter Sombra, however that is because we were notified in advance at the time Demon Hunter Sombra was available in 2018 BlizzCon Virtual Ticket that the item would be released again sometime in 2019, and this promise was fulfilled during the 2019 Halloween Terror event. I do not expect Demon Hunter Sombra to be ever made available again.
As far as the graphics from the tweet goes, they āappearā fake. I donāt know this Tomy person at all so I canāt vouch to any legitimacy of this alledged leak. The thing that makes these graphics look fake is the background staging for the graphics, the background does not match any previous menu stage (even the pure white Overwatch League menu stage). The pose of the mercy crouching in her laughing emote, seems irregular and not to Blizzardās marketing quality. I am personally speculating this is user created.
That being said, in the long run, speculating over leaks is one thing, but I encourage everyone here on the forums to voice whether you want to see this skin or any other limited time skin to return. No promises that we will ever see any limited-time skin return from the Legacy vault, but it is feedback that Blizzard does deserve to hear.

I mean if it would be true that they would add the pink mercy skin i do agree with you OP that they should add all the other skins in as well for those who missed out.
Like why only pink mercy? The other skins deserve a 2nd chance as well.

There was a purple disk in the photo. I also looked up a photo to compare the normal purple to the purple in the photo and itās a really good match. The pink would be hard to create with the reflection and everything plus the white background.
Iām just trying to say that it looks hard to try to create and I canāt believe someone would spend that much time and plan in advance just to do this.
If this does turn out to be true, AND if they let us purchase it with real money again, Iām going to do a giveaway for one when it hits live.
Not sure what Iāll do - if Iāll make it a fun little contest or just draw names with a random number generator, but I think thatād be fun.
This is only IF Iām able to do that, though. Chances are slim that itās real and weāll be able to purchase it like before, soā¦ weāll see.

It looks really similar to the OW anniversary lootbox stage. I just looked up a lootbox opening video from last year to compare. The only stage with all the heroās is the main menu otherwise itās always that white stage.
The ceiling of that stage has a patterned hexagon dome. It is very noticeable.

Mine has really messed up quality but all I can see is shading as if it was taken from a YouTube video. Which connects to the story of the Brazilian playoverwatch accidentally posting the video early.
I may be wrong but Iām looking for something like the blue hexagons for GOATs brig.
The skin was just a reward for the donation, you actually didnāt bought the skin so itās not āscummyā. I myself did the donation and I enjoyed the skin but after all this years it doesnāt matter if they add it now, aniversary is a good oportunity to celebrate and for second chances in getting items, so if they come for some weeks is not the end of the world. People deserve second chances.
Still this seems to be a fake.
Again, I am speculating it is fake based on everything presented, but I could very well be wrong. And as far as I am personally concerned, hellā¦ bring back the Mercy skin if it can raise another 12 million.
To give a reference, here is a crisp screenshot without menu elements (Alt+Z) of the 2017 menu stage for anniversaryā¦
Now here is the same screenshot with me manually adjusting the lighting contrast to high levelsā¦ see the hexagon 3D form in the background? Also notice how the shadows of these figures surround the figures rather than be focused from a single light source (the tweet picture shows a bland cast shadow in one direction)

If it goes again to BCRF, yes. Else, no.

Iām blind!
I wasnāt sure what I was looking for so my brain didnāt see it at first but now I canāt not see it.
Tho the hexagons were in the original photo but it was too bright to see. Since they do have the shading around the edges it could mean the background got darker with the purple disks we need an official name for these. I hate calling them disks. aswell.
I may just be allowing myself to believe itās real because I want the skin but I guess we will find out.
If they did bring it back, it should still be 15$ and for charity. I never got it and I doubt that they would bring it back but itās scummy to do it through lootboxes
