I suspect the Blue Beetle / translucent Fire pack will do slightly better, and the last Firefly / Dr. Destiny / Toyman pack will sell out in a day or two. Mattel really doubled down on the GL stuff there for awhile in all of their DC lines. I guess it was all the hype from the movie. No disrespect to the GL fans but I don't think the fanbase is as large as Mattel anticipated it to be.

Quote: It might be if they could make a decent movie that didn't involve Batman. My thoughts exactly. The movie just wasn't good. It's interesting to see the correlation between box office and toy sales. I wouldn't have thought that the link was so strong, but it apparently is.

Can't justify the 40 dollar price tag just for Guy Gardner.

It sucks to have to pay so much, but this is one of the only lines I collect. I do feel bad for other collectors, I'm sure will see in the near future Volcana only going for $20 once this line dies.

The one I had the yellow symbol rubbed off. So I can use my current one for fodder and put the new one in the collection. I'm still replacing Guy's head with bottleimp's cast lol...

I think that might be the best Batman they released. It's real close between that one and the gray ghost Batman.
