I kinda want them too, but you know they are going to be at least $20 each. So that $100 for the set. Not to mention the headache of having to fight for each color every day. I'm going to pass, but had they been cheaper and easier to get, I'd probably have gotten them.

Mighty Morphin' Power Hal

Wow! Those look badass, especially the classic green and black.

Maaaan...they do look badass!

I wonder if they'll be going the ticket route? Perhaps not Preview Night, but the others could be a mad house. I've read some places have this up for as much as $350 for the set and $50-$100 for singles.

I don't know. Last year I just walked up on preview night and got the Arkham Joker and he was limted to only 1,000 or 1,500 like the other colored Hals are.

I haven't been to SDCC in a couples of years and I know it's gotten more and more crowded over the years, but Preview Night is/was the lightest of all the days.

Do they still do the raffle?

Uh, not anymore. Preview night is worse than Saturday now.

I want these definitely but since I'm not attending SDCC I'll probably just fine the lowest scalping price on eBay and go that route. it'll give me time to save up the funds after getting nailed by Sideshow's own SDCC onslaught.

I've almost secured my set.

Ah well screw you Carl.

Preview Night has been CRAZY the past 2 years!

Will DCD be at least re-releasing Hal in GREEN in the Blackest Night figure series?

Nope. That would defeat the purpose of an exclusive. But that Hal is just a metallic repaint of a regular DCD figure anyway.

Actually that isn't correct. Georg Brewer is considering some form of re-imagined re-release, perhaps in a boxed set. The discussion starts at 6:50

The Green Hal and Blue Hal are exact repaints of the Superman/Batman figure that was released prior but the Yellow, Orange and Red have new headsculpts and all have metallic paints which I guarantee won't be on any kind of re-release.

they all look like Hal, why?

Read Sinestro Corps War all the way through the prologue of Blackest Night and you'll get your answer.

Thanks guys, just went ahead and got a GREEN one from ebay. That's all I would get considering the prices they go for. If they do make a box set, I'll be all over it.
