Green Lantern Classics Wave 2

Thanks to fellow Fwooshers, hagop, lesternessman and studmuffin, I finally got some Green Lantern Classics Wave 2 figures and was able to complete Stel. GLC 2 is kinda scarce round North Central Florida and for some reason, Amazon, which has been my default DC Universe Classics supplier, has yet to offer them. Hope this doesn’t mean Amazon is dropping the line…

You’ll notice there are some MIAs in my little review here. Unfortunately Star Sapphire, didn’t survive long enough to make it to the photo shoot. Her right hip peg was fused into the plastic of the crotch piece and tore. 😡 And I have a bad feeling it will be a while before I come across another Star Sapphire for a decent price. As for the Red Lanterns, I passed on them because lesternessman was kind enough to hook me up with the Stel part that came with the RLs. Maybe I’ll pick them up if I ever see them on the pegs. Paying shipping on top of the cost of the figures is making too big a dent in old Buzzy’s wallet these days.

G’hu

Apologies in advance to fans of the Movie Masters GL fans – I just don’t dig ’em. I would rather we had gotten a DCUC-style figure instead of old Gooey here. Or a DCUC/Comic style G’hu – that would’ve been cool.

B’dg, Despotellis & Dex-Starr

These should have been pack-ins. Sure, the vomiting cat has comedic value, and at least B’dg is a different body style for the GL display, but really, these 3 don’t equal a full size figure. Yawn.

Naut Kei Loi

I think old Notty here is my favorite figure of the wave. I love his head sculpt and the ridiculous fishbowl helmet – it’s just so very old school DC. I opted not to get the Medphyll because he looks too much like brocoli. Blech! 😛

Sodam Yat

A good, solid figure, and decent representation of the current Ion. If you didn’t already know, Sodam comes with an extra right hand that has a GL emblem construct blasting out of the ring. Evil beware.

Stel

An awesome C&C figure. Love him, even if he is too big. It just makes him cooler.

Evil beware? Damn right.

  1. I bought the whole wave because I stumbled upon then in Walmart a month or so ago and even though I really didn’t want Star Sapphire and the RLs I had to have Stel. I notice the chest GL emblem is crooked on your Stel as well (mine is rotated the other way). Why can’t quality control get that right?! He’s still awesome and looks good next to Kilowog.

  2. My brother and I ran through 3 Star Saphs before we got one that didn’t have her hip peg fused into her pelvis.

  3. I used Amazon to score the first wave too. I wonder if it’s because they’re still sitting on wave one that they haven’t ordered any wave two.

    I hope they come through eventually, otherwise I guess I’ll grab them on Monday from Matty.
