    If they did put a normal wave out, of the same figures at the same time -I do not think it would hurt them that much.
    people who want ff and like the look of the sp cards will still grab the ff figures.

    Its no secret that ctv will make these same figures without the ff action.
    So IMO might as well just release them both at the same time

      The FF figures are all on pre-order at the moment but all 8 won't be released at the exact same time. The regular non FF versions like Superman is coming out very soon.

        I think they'd have to give Hal his power battery just as they'd need to give Green Arrow his bow. Even Mattel, cost conscious as they were, gave lanterns to their GL figures, both 6 and 8 inch. Hal requires only a new head and a screen print suit, plus maybe green boots, so even with a battery, I don't think he's as expensive to make as some other figures like Green Arrow. In addition, the battery mold is re-usable if they make a Sinestro or any other Lanterns.

          Your comment about accessories in relation to production cost is apt--characters like Green Lantern could afford to have an accessory because fewer costume components. And he is a "new" character.

          Even so, I like Player's idea of WGH accessory set-- it would be a good way to get batarangs, a trident, a golden lasso, bracelets, canes, and an umbrella, etc. that FTC may not have wanted to include with their reissues.
          WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.

            You did say a Shazam wave is coming eventually, right?
