DP is a great looking sculpt. This one....not so much. If this looked even decent, it would have sold out in a few hours with such a low ES. There are huge Hal Jordan fans out there passing on this piece. All this tells us how peeps really feel about this statue.

I am a HUGE Hal Jordan fan, but this statue is also a HUGE disappointment weigh is why I haven't bought it.

Agreed. When I heard SSC was doing a GL PF figure, I got pretty excited until I saw the actual piece and the price tag thereon! I mean, it's nice, but it looks like there's something a little "off" about it, which makes me sad 'cause I'm a HUGE Hal Jordan fan, too!

OK. I went back and looked at the figure again in the Gallery and I do believe that it IS the pose that's throwing the whole statue off (at least for me). Because of the awkward angle of it (or it could be the remarkably poor lighting choices), the statue looks really top heavy, like Hal's bigger from the waist up than he is from the waist down. I realize this is likely just an optical illusion, but it is there (again, IMHO). If you factor in the fist construct, then his top half looks even bigger!!!
As far as the shiny aspect goes, I don't mind it, but I wish they would have confined the shininess to the green and white parts of the uniform and left the black parts as really ultra-matte black, which would have really made the green and white pop!
Another thing they could have done that would have really amped up the "cool" factor was include an attachable "floating chevron" you could put on the figure along with the construct to indicate that he's using his ring, much like Ethan Van Sciver and Ivan Reis had his chevron levitating about his GL symbol in the comics...

That is my point exactly. There is no way you would pass on an SSC statue of this character unless the piece disappointed you. I am a HUGE Batman fan. The PF looks incredible. There is no chance that I pass on that statue. Part of the HUGE ES on that piece has to do with the popularity of the character. The other part is the fact that this is quite possibly the finest Batman sculpt ever. If the GL PF looked just as good as the Bats PF, it would have an ES for the EX of well over a thousand and sellout quickly. There are too many GL fans in the world for this not to be the case. SSC just has to realize that they blew it with this piece. All the GL fans that passed on the PF will hope that the mixed media PF will look better and wait for it instead.
You never know. There was a relatively short wait between the release of some marvel characters that weren't half as popular as Hal. Mystique, Elektra, White Queen, She Hulk, and Psylocke were all released in 2 formats pretty quickly. However, one must not dismiss the T&A factor of those pieces. Who knows how long it will be for Hal. SSC sure took their sweet time with releasing the Spidey & Hulk Coms. They were released well after their PF counterparts. One thing is for sure. I can't see them releasing another Hal GL PF before the current one sells out. That could take awhile.

And also like you said these were in 2 different format. Since SSC is doing away with Comiquettes and 1:5 it may indeed be a long while.
