Thanks to Nick I now have more Gl toys. Including the evil Guardian Krona who unleashed parallax. Best thing about him he is a finger puppet. You can stick a finger up his robe and he can be all evil Guardian thanks to some hand waving. Andy Jonathan wanted the spare Evil Guardian Krona figure so we opened it for him. That is not an action figure. That is an accesory for a larger toy. A freaking finger puppet with moveable arms & legs, a plastic chain and a christmas cracker ring? I feel conned at £1. How much were they at RRP? |

I think they were somewhere around the nine-pound, perhaps ten, as far as I recall.
I have checked the Poundlands in Falkirk, and apparently no Lanterns have been assigned to this Space Sector. We remain a lawless frontier...

A pound is about right for them! RRP was indeed around nine Earth pounds.

I never saw most of the 4" line locally.
As much as everyone bashes it and claims it's unsuccessful, the 4" line flew off the shelves for the first few weeks. Local stores could barily keep them stocked. Then, by the time everyone had gotten what they wanted out of the first two waves, all the stores filled up completely, and rarely got anything passed wave two.
I think most american collectors are too blind, and too sure in their own perceptions of how the world works, to see how the world really works.
But anyone looking for these stateside is going to be in for a huge disappointment. Most stores have clearanced out and gotten rid of them, and late waves are extremely rare. I saw 4" Galus Zed once. Maybe twice. Never saw Rot Lop Fan, Morro, or Salaak.
If it's not in the first two waves, it's extremely rare, here. (I didn't even know they made a 4" Rot Lop Fan!)
And if you're talking about movie masters, then you're definately dead out of luck. The late waves of Movie Masters (Anything past Krona and Maskless Hal) never seemed to have reached retail in physical stores. All collectors for those seem to have been forced to resort to online stores, like BBTS (Who I still think has quite a few of them)

Never saw Rot Lop Fan, Morrow, or Salaak. Didn't do individual 4 inch versions of any of those as far as I can see. If I see more are there any you want ? £1 each. (about $1.50/$1/60 something) |

Will I prevail in picking up G'Hui and Tomer Re for Andu? This thread just got a lot more exciting, thrilling and tension-packed. -Ralph Can the Lanterns be rescued from the deadly peril? Will they fall into the crushing embrace of the Discount Black Hole? Can will alone (and a few pounds) save them from this terrible fate? Only time, and next issue, will tell! Karl Did anyone else hear this post in Peter Marinker's voice with the "next time on Star Fleet" music in the background? |

No thank you. I appreciate the offer, and if I came across that price locally, I'd be all over them. As is, too much hassle for all of us.
Salaak did get made in 4". I know he got released in a big multipack, and I think he was supossed to get released individually carded. Ultimately, I don't know everything that got released 4", since I only saw like, 25% of the line.
But you guys are sort of all over the place, I'm not entirely sure which scale you're talking about.
Movie Masters-
Hal Jordan
Maskless Hal Jordan w/ Bzzd
Sinestro
Abin Sur (Sold exclusively in a twopack with a standard Hal. I didn't get him because I *really* didn't want yet another Hal Jordan)
G'hu
Isamot
Galus Zed
Morro
Tomar Re
Rot Lop Fan
Naut Ki Loi
Green Man (Matty Collector exclusive. Came and went before I ever knew it was available, so one of only two I don't have)
Kilowog (Matty Collector Exclusive)
Krona
Hector Hammond
Parallax
Kinda wish they would have put out a Yellow Sinestro somewhere.

The convention GL 2-pack with Kilowog and Kyle? That gorgeous set that puts MU to shame?
The entire damned line will be convention only. They said that scale will not be sold in other markets.
I don't say this often (like ever), but that is one massive slap in the face to DC toy collectors.

I have given up looking for Gl toys so as not to conflict with Uncle Phil. Unless the Battle Shifters of Home Bargains are required.
