Scored a Kyle Rayner... hmmm....

[jimsmegos]

IN an effort to "Collect 'em All" I picked up a Kyle on ebay and he arrived today. While I may give him the Toy Box treatment soon, I gotta say, I'm not impressed. There's something not quite right about him. I can't put my finger on it but something seems off. The head sculpt is good but I think he would have made a better Nightwing.

I've got a John Stewart on the way but I think I'm probably gonna completely avoid the yellow Sinestro unless I can get him cheap.

Man this is really bugging me as I write this and looking over at him. I do appreciate the unique to the figure boots and lantern but he seems boring. I don't know, It's just striking me odd.

What say you other collector's of Kyle?

i thought they did a good job on the figure....problem for me is he is just not a character I care about at all. they would have been better off making Tomar re of Killiwog

I think the boots don't look right on him,too tall for the figure but other than that,i think they did a good job on the GL line of figures.Personally i think the yellow Sinestro is the best looking figure out of the line,it was the one that made me say "oh wow" when i opend him up.

You didn't happen to get it from a guy in Kankakee Illinois did you? And do you live in NC?

I traded a closed fist Kyle for an open hand one on Matty Collector forums to a guy in that town who sent me a tracking number and told me that number was for the figure he was sending me, I watched the item go to NC. And I am in Missouri. I think he took my Kyle and sold it, and sent me nothing.

I am just being curious.

I agree. I don't have the figure but the hair seems off to me and something about the costume seems off. I have a disassembled 12" Hasbro Kyle and it just seems more accurate to me. I wish I had the skills/resources to shrink it down.

Actually...I think this figure is great! He happens to be one of my favorites!

I like the figure, but I did only get one from Matty and opened it for the kids. He's just not a character I have a vested interest in.

The boots were Launcelot boots that I sanded down to remove all the detailing.

My problem is that Kyle's costume is boring. It's all black and formless.
I also was not thrilled doing this character - but I didn't hate him like
I did Guy Gardner!

i got one just to complete my set,but it kinda grows on ya ,i thought guy gardner was ugly,but i got one of those also.

Hey Doc, if it makes you feel any better about Guy, he was my favorite of the Green Lanterns from Matty! (Kyle is a very close second)

I thought that's what they looked like. I think what your saying about the costume is my hang up too. Even Black Manta's ALL black suit has more 'pop' to it. As far as the Guy Gardner I think he is the most impressive designed and sculpted of the whole collection. In years passed I had done a custom and when I saw yours I was blown away. Rather you liked him or not you really nailed him. And that's of course what makes you DR. Mego and not Orderly Mego :grin:

To the fellow in Missouri I'm afraid it's not me, I'm in Arkansas.
