    How well is Sinestro selling?

    Is he the Peg Hanger of this release? I know he was one in the Infinite Heroes line, alongside the Qward Weaponer, Manhunter and OMAC.

    Do you think DC might have more success with him if they did variants? I would imagine it would be easy enough to throw him in a Green Lantern outfit or even to tie into the hot Blackest Night series by doing a Sinestro Corps variant (or even a "White Lantern"). I'd certainly pick him up from Mattycollector if that was the case.

    Given how the Retro figure was released to comic stores within a week of Blackest Night #8 and the White Lantern issue of Green Lantern, you would think Sinestro is probably at the height of his popularity right now.

    I am in the Chicago area. I haven't seen a Sinestro here yet. I have seen the other 3.

      Probably doesn't help that he has half a 'stache most times I see him

        I'm not really a Sinestro fan but I think this figure is the belle of the ball of wave 1.

            He sold fine at TRU here; two shipments have come and gone and there's three figures left right now. The other three, ironically; old lobster face sold through.

                My TRU only has Lex and GL left. So I'd say he's selling ok.

                  He's a peg warmer over here, followed by Lex.

                    He'll sell better if they re-release him when the Green Lanter flick comes out.

                      He and GL have been the sellers where I've been. Superman was the one that seemed to be sitting around here. He seems to be the popular guy everywhere else. I'm personally not fond of him. I only bought one Supes. At least two of all the others. Sinestro is my fave so should he sit on pegs and go cheap I'll buy some more. He's got at least a yellow suit and now a white suit that I can put on him. Guess I better call Brian.
                      It's not a doll it's an action figure.

                        Around here from what I've seen, Lex and Sinestro hang around the longest, but these figures seem to go pretty fast.
                        It's all good!

                          My TRU has none left. They got in one case and blew them out. Half to me.

                            I can't get Superman or Green Lantern in my area. Lex Luthor and Sinestro are usually on the pegs though. Every time I check, they have one Sinestro and one Luthor.
