    Well, at least they added constructs. Might actually make it worth picking up.

      I wish it would have been the modern versions of the characters. I already have both of these .... This is gonna be like 35 bucks.

            First I heard it too. Don't tell me DC let some other toy company steal Sinestro and now they can't use it?!?

              Some of the Facebook people are saying thats a new body for Sinestro. Since I don't have a Sinestro figure, I can't verify that. They were saying he was on the Robin/Teen body before?

              Its a nice looking set. One I'd probably keep in the box if I were to ever get it.

                I read today that all the constructs are reissues of existing pieces (from Gold, Iron, Stewart and Hawkman). A little disappointing but certainly better than nothing. Definately could use them on other figures.

                  I know he does have a new body, I am not sure what was wrong with the old body but he is on a new (taller?) one now. I adore this set! I am so excited to have constructs! I will have to pick this one up soon as I see it! And Sinestro's new first name came about recently. The story I heard is that when they started writing the movie they wanted him to have a first name, possibly so people who do not know that he becomes a villain were were less likely just to guess his turn to evil from the fact that his name is Sinestro, so they named him Thaal. Geoff Johns liked it enough to work it into the Blackest Night story line, when Sinestro's dead wife came back (I think she was his wife any how) she called him by his first name of Thaal. So now they are going to push it like he always had a first name so when the movie comes out it makes more sense.

                    ^ Ah, thanks for the backstory.

                    The original DCUC Sinestro is indeed too short. I don't think it is a teen body, but he's shorter than Hal, which is wrong. Kind of like the original comic Batman line Joker Mattel put out. His scale was way off.
