Apologies for the packaging photo! I ordered Sinestro online and this is how he arrived, his card all over the place.
So continuing with a look at my budding Green Lantern collection, next up is Sinestro! Sinestro comes with a base
This base is really nice! I love that it's done in a green translucent plastic and includes the GL symbol.
And Sinestro also comes with a shiny metallic green power battery. There's a translucent piece of plastic through the middle of the battery which brings some light through, this is a really nice touch which makes the battery an excellent accessory.
Sinestro himself looks fantastic. But the lack of articulation is a real pain. I think that's a fair compromise for such a nice looking figure though, and let's be honest, these figures are aimed at the more adult collector.
A quick run down of the articulation then. Sinestro's head looks down, not up, and left and right. The shoulders are on a ball and hinge, there's a bicep swivel, a single jointed elbow and wrist swivel. The hips kick forward a little and there's a single joint at the knee. That's it. No waist or ab articulation, no ankle pivot, limited hip movement. It's a shame, but like I mentioned, Sinestro looks amazing.
Sinestro's suit is a vibrant metallic green and mat black with gorgeously sculpted musculature and line work.
The face is sculpted perfectly. Sinestro looks extremely satisfied with himself which is a strong look for the character. He has his signature larger head and pointy ears. His moustache is neatly painted and he has sharp metallic green eyes.
I love Sinestro as a character and this figure is such a fantastic representation of him as a Green Lantern. Now to find him in his Yellow Lantern suit...
Go Figure!
