If you apply the same discount to the Bowen pieces (20%) they're still cheaper.

And I'm sorry 48 bucks is still too much for that piece.

Totally agree. DC truly puts the MINI in mini-bust!

It's fine for me cause I like DC. I'm not a big fan of Bowen. I just find his stuff boring and I'm not bashing him. It's just not for me. I do have a few but as soon as Sideshow makes the characters I will sell the Bowens

I agree.

Wait a while, they'll be selling on eBay for $20.00 like the old JLA busts were.

I took an IQ test and the results were negative.

Agreed. I'd love a good Hal bust, but this just isn't it for me. Congrats to everybody who's picked it up, though. It looks good, just not as representative of the character as I'd like. Too much product in his hair.

The Hal Jordan GL is probably my favorite character, but I won't be buying this bust unless I see it for really short money on eBay. I've seen some close-ups of the bust and it just seems to be lacking all detail. It's almost like they couldn't decide weather to make a serious sculpt or an anime bust. It also looks like it's worth a lot less than the rediculous retail price DC has set for it. I consider it another half-hearted effort from a company that's famous for under-achieving when it comes to mini-busts. I love DC and really wish I didn't feel that way, but the release of this bust has only continued a very uninspired run of DC mini-busts.
