Whatever happened to these Aerus uprights?

I was recently going through Aerus-related Facebook pages and I came across a page for a store in Wilmington, DE. They had a photo of two upright vacuums with the words "coming soon" in the description area. The photo was dated Dec. 24th, 2015. It doesn't look like they are marketed as of yet. They look totally different from Aerus' current uprights. I wonder what these were and what became of them?

I saved the picture:

They look like

Dirt devil Deluxes without the hose.

They look like the toy dirt devil deluxe painted black with aerus stickers on them, look at the background to gauge the sizing. They are clearly children sized.

Isn't that the "Lite by Aerus" U163A (by Tacony Corp.) that succeeded the "FreshEra" U162E?

I don't think these are Aeruses.

It looks like they took two toy Dirt Devil Deluxes, painted them black and stuck the Aerus logo on them. Still very unique though.

Children's vacuums! HA! It never occurred to me they might be for children.
