    Is that ring painted on there?

      yes, it is painted instead of molded like the others. Only thing that I would complain about though.

        So those hands were not re-sculpted? They are just your standard retro hands painted? Would that be a fair description?

          yes, they look like standard hands with half gloves and a ring on the right middle finger painted on.

            Figure looks good,much better in the flesh,than on the Mattel site.

            Thanks for posting the pics.

              Holy variants, Batman! My Kyle has the fist with ring sculpted on!





              Personally, I think the fist looks better. I wonder if the standard hand with painted ring was done before they delayed Kyle and sent him back to the drawing board.

                  Hold up... So now we have two different versions going through the pipeline? One with a sculpted ring and one without?

                      Mine arrived today, and it's the painted on ring, no fist.

                        great, so now there will be a run on whichever Kyle is the rarer variant! LOL

                          Mattel made sure to flip everyone off appropriately didn't they? If this isn't poetic irony for a canceled line I don't know what is. Once again, production undermines the efforts of people like Paul who only wanted quality product for Mego fans. Incredible... I bet you the factory ran out of the fisted hands from the Green Lantern stock and just said, "Screw it" and painted the rest.

                              If mine is painted I'll ask for a replacement. I consider that a defective item.

                                Since I ordered more than one, I'll probably trade for the one I don't have.
