Not to nitpick you, but you refer to the Ethan Van Scriver Hal Jordan in the blurb but I believe the one in the photo is the 2005 Hal Jordan from Green Lantern wave one.

The Van Scriver can not hold his own battery, while the one in the photo does. The Van Scriver is also closer in height to the new releases.

I know this seems comical coming from a guy who can't edit his own blog properly right but I thought you might want to make a correction.

They all looked better than I expected. Even Boodikka and Saint Walker, I might start considering getting one of each color.

Nice review Andy!

I have to say though, as much as I dislike the concept ... the Earth-Two Superman Black Lantern is the best figure in the wave.

Also, Boodikka used to be MUCH larger in the comics, so this figure's size is a plus as far as I'm concerned!

I agree on Atrocitus ... something may be off but he looks great!

They certainly look very pretty. I think that DCD really just cut back the poseability to make a figure that looks good in the poses available, which seems to be the case here.

Scale and articulation issues with DCD figs always suck some of the fun out of them, but they LOOK great, I love the metallic coloring.

Makes me wish I had more money. I'll pick up a couple here and there, but unfortunately, I won't be able to buy them all.

I like all of these, the only figures I'm probably going to pass on are the John Stewart and Kyle Rayner.

I like the look of Saint Walker, but am bothered with the bicep position of Atrocitus. Looks alright if he's getting ready to do some serious flexing, Lou Ferrigno Hulk-style. Not good for a more neutral pose. I do hope DCD gets their stuff together, scale-wise, on this Green Lantern line. The pretty consistent scale within that line had been one of the positive things DCD had going for them.
