I honestly think that the articulation is the only thing that's better than the Iron Man 2 line.

The sculpts on the GL figs look good to me and screen accurate. Ryan Reynolds looks like Ryan Reynolds. The Sinestro fig even has the scar on his face as in the artwork from the movie and the trailer.

And though no one has mentioned it yet, even though Sinestro, Hal, and Abin Sur all have humanoid bodies, they are all entirely different sculpts in the fine details.

The paint apps look very neat across the board, as opposed to the Iron Man 2 line, which had a lot of sloppiness. The are a lot of different shades of green as there should be, and the ring is painted a darker green to make it more distinguished from the fist. Also, the figures don't have warped legs in the packages like some of the IM2 line. These figures feel a lot more solid to me.

Also, I like the amount of character variety we got on launch day. And the fact that we got a civilian Hal Jordan, when the IM2 line couldn't even release the Tony Stark they made.

And though it might be nothing much, I like the $6.99 price point. I know a lot of people thought $8.99 was ridiculous, and it is. But now that I've seen that $6.99 is the price at Wal-Mart, K-Mart, and Meijer, (I would think once Target carries the line it will be as well as their prices tend to be the same as Wal-Mart) it's obvious now that TRU is the company that decided to overcharge for these.

Then again, I don't get too upset with figures being bad or not. I'm just happy to get a 3 3/4" scale GL Corps at a decent price. Plus all these constructs are awesome.
