If Hal was on that meteor, in that pose, with those colors, with no missile system, it would be an instant buy for me. The extra stuff is just going to make it cost more and be problematic down the road and it doesn't even create the effect it's supposed to. I give them points for trying something grandiose but it didn't really work.

I think it just remove the actual missiles it will still be awesome. They are unnecessary and look very fragile.

Ridiculous price.
599 SGD for Green Lantern + 300 SGD for this constructs with plastic toy look.
I'm really glad I didn't start collecting this 1/6 line.

That would definitely help. I agree with some other fellas that the missile launchers obscure Hal a little too much. I would love to have a construct in there but I just don't want it to cover up that sculpt of Hal because that looks really good.

The combination of ever-increasing prices and increasing frequency of the statues being released,judging by the increasing pace of these 1/6 statues being put up for pre-order, means i'm now dropping out of purchasing them.

Really disappointing for me but it is what it is.

Darkseid was always going to be expensive due to the size of the character and XM saying it was basically 1/4 size,but I never thought the Lobo,Harley Quinn and Green Lantern characters would be the prices they are.

TB-303 you were smarter than me : )

I feel the same way. I wasn't expecting so many of these pieces to be as expensive as they are. I preordered Lobo but I think I'm done.

Slamboni,

I actually hovered over the pre-order button on the XM website for Lobo late yesterday,but I could see me having financial problems down the line if I continued buying these so I bailed when it came to payment.

It's a great statue..i'm sure you'll be happy when he arrives : )

Ridiculous price, nothing about this says 650$. The construct is literally painted all green, honestly a simple paint up all around but some would say the price is in the paint detail and parts lol, yeah ok.

I love this statue, but I don't think it justifies being more than Aquaman or Flash...probably going to pass.
It's a construct so the smoke would be the same color... They did make the switch to normal resin because the translucent resin was starting to bend over time. Hopefully the normal resin won't do it but it's always a risk..

I will say that one picture looking straight at it does look rather epic....
