DCUC Sinestro Corps Hal Jordan

That Battle Damaged Bats has some extremely limited "damage." I wasn't expecting a broken spine or anything, but... no, I admit it, I was expecting a broken spine.

I want Yellow Hal (as Bizarro Yellow Lantern), but there isn't really anything memorable about this fig.

I'm really looking forward to All-Stars Red Robin & Superboy Prime, however.

Sorry Mattel, but one poorly drawn tear across the chest is NOT "battle damage".

Might have to grab Hal, depending on what Blue Lantern Kyle looks like.

that might be the worst battle damage deco I've ever seen.

wow.....great repaints mattell is truely genious....(total sarcasm) what damage is on the hal jordan and that batman is pathetic one little painted on cut come on..

None. SC Jordan isn't ment to be battle damaged.

And (Directed at no one in particular) I also believe that "Battle Damaged Batman" is Shin's discription of the toy, not Mattel's.

True.


I'll be trying to pick up this set for the Azrael figure, but I have plenty of Batman figures and really don't need another.

Ah, and I just realized he had a couple of cheap Harley Quinn figures too. I picked one up, I'm sure this is the last time I'll find one I can afford. God only knows how overpriced that Mad Love set is, so hopefully this Harley figure will actually show up. No accessories, but that won't stop me from making her bad ass. I'll just find a couple guns or some other crazy accessory and she'll look pretty damn cool.

I work at a Toys R Us so depending on the price if its reasonable ill buy it. I only want the Azrael anyway

U call that damage? where's the black eye, bloody nose and lip, torn cape, ripped costume, bullet holes, etc, they could of even used replaceable damaged hands or headsculpt to allow you to decide the level of damage,

If my memory is correct, when Mattel revealed the two-packs, they referred to him as battle damaged Batman.

While you may be right, they're unlisted as to who and what they are at their debut at NYCC. The toys themselves are only listed as "World Premier Two Packs" or something like that. "Battle Damaged Batman" is in Toyark's discription, though. Along with incorrectly referring to Hal Jordan as "Yellow Lantern" instead of Sinestro Corps.

Either way, whoever is right or wrong, people are making a much bigger deal over a non-issue than it deserves.
(That's not to say I think the decal is good. I don't)

I'm sensing a trend amongst the Sinestro Corps toys... and I don't know off hand how this translates from the comics, if it's keeping with accuracy or not.
But Sinestro wears his ring on the left hand, to be polar opposite from the GLC. And all the "true" Sinestro Corps follow in suit. However, the unofficial or temporary members (At least in toy form) like Cyborg Superman, Batman, Scarecrow, and now Jordan wear their rings on the right hand.

Maybe it's just my mild OCD, but that it starting to bother me.

That's not incorrect. Either reference can be used and is acceptable.

All the DCU line of figs have too-short legs! Makes them look like monkeys.
The female figs look great though- that Stargirl rocks!

The Atom is laughable though- he's only supposed to be 5' tall, not "same body as Batman"!

I don't read a lot of comics, but there is an old school Silver Age DC character called "Yellow Lantern" who is a Bizarro World version of GL Hal Jordan.

I think the DCUC action figure here is intended to depict Hal when he briefly wielded a Qwardian yellow Sinestro Corps ring.

It may seem like semantics, I totally agree, but I am sure many people hold steady to the distinction.

For what it's worth, I intend to buy this fig to use as the original Yellow Lantern rather than Hal Jordan which is who I presume he is supposed to represent. Whatever differences may exist aren't enough to get my undies in a bundle. :)

Yes I am aware of the history, and quite familiar with the Blackest Night storyline.

As the picture attached illustrates, DC themselves make no distinction between the two. When it comes to merchandise, the term "Sinestro Corps" and "Yellow Lantern" get thrown around interchangeably.

Unless the toy is actually *called* "Sinestro Corps Hal Jordan," which I believe it probably will be, then calling it "Yellow Lantern Hal Jordan" is indeed incorrect.
One would be the toy's name, one would not be.
That was more to the root of my comment. I was holding it as an example that the Batman may not be called "Battle Damaged" on an official level, and may just be the terminology used by Tony in that article (And by Shin in extention here.) As Mattel's cards at the NYCC display do not name the figures at all.

Ah, gotcha. I see what you are getting at now.

Wait, when did they make a Blue Lantern Hal?

They haven't (yet. I NEED OOOOONEEEE!!!! MOAR BLUE LANTERNS!!!!).
But they are going to put out a Blue Lantern Kyle Rayner that will be in a twopack with this SC Jordan.

But seriously... MOAR BLUE LANTERNS! WHERE'S OUR SAINT WALKER AND BROTHER WARTH?!? WERE'S INDIGO?!? COME ON MATTEL! IMMABOUTTOBUST!

Oh good, I'm not the only one with a Blue Lantern obsession. I feel slightly less insane now.

I've seen the DC Direct Brother Warth, its very cool in person.
