Apparently the multi-coloured Hal Jordans will be available on a day-by-day basis: Green on Wed,
Yellow on Thurs, Blue on Fri, Orange on Sat, Red on Sun.
limited to 1500 of each colour, 3000 of green.
---
The first year in a long time that I don't get a 4-day pass, and they pull a Skittles Hal. If anyone is going on Saturday and Sunday only, I can grab an extra yellow and blue skittle to trade for the orange and red.

The various grimaces on the multi-colored Hal Jordan GL figures make it look like we're returning to the '90s "Angst-Era" of action figures.

It's annoying that DC Direct keeps churning out wave after wave of stuff I don't want, yet something like the rainbow Hal set, which I would definitely buy, is something I can't have. DC Direct could easily get $75 out of me for this set, but apparently they only want convention money.

The re-use of the head sculpts gives me the feeling they will release a rainbow Hal set at retail with different heads.

There! A little shading across the top of the iris gets rid of that psycho-
stare!!
(Notice if you will, no S emblem on the belt buckle. Originally the costume
designer placed one there, but after he visited the offices as part of getting
ready for the role, Christopher Reeve insisted they remove it.)

MUCH better JB!
It's amazing how subtle nuances like that make all the difference in the world.

Thank you!! LOVE your WW collection, especially the Hughes, Dodson and museum pieces.
Also, great job on the Christopher Reeve as Superman statue.

What, you mean you don't have one? All the cool kids have one!
Thanks for the link. My Shogun Warriors now feel really really small...

I agree.
I think I've seen every single "exclusive" become available within a year at regular retail outlets (somewhere).
DC could offer them as one set of 5 and still the single box sets would be "SDCC Exclusives". They could offer them as twin packs with another member of the colored corps, etc etc.
Be patient.

And in the latest movie atrocity, the S buckle was in full bloom.
What do you attribute is the reason for Hollywood demanding an S belt buckle, JB? I mean, what's the aesthetic sense of it?
