The lack of POA on the smaller figures which is supposed to be the main line is what makes me dislike them so much. The release schedule for the Movie Masters means it will be a while before we will get all the BAF parts, plus there are the MattyCollector figures to get to complete the collection.
It looks like this is going to be this summer's over ordered toyline that is going to have store exclusives out the yang but they are really just repaints or repackaged figures.

I hit 3 WalMarts a Target and a TRU today looking for the GL Movie toys. Nanuet NY TRU - still only had the same deluxe I left the other day.
Fishkill NY WalMart -nothing
Newburgh NY Target - They have the 4" in the back, but claim the computer says it's a 5/15 street date.
Newburgh NY WalMart - had a small display on one of the pillars. so I picked up Kilowog, Test Pilot Hal, Abin Sur, Sinestro, Solar Saw Hal. They also had Green Man and a translucent green Hal, but I passed on those. They were $6.97 each and unlike the Deluxe figure all of these had ball jointed shoulders except the Test Pilot Hal.
Monroe NY WalMart -Nothing in stock yet. The employee said they only have the Thor movie figues so far. No Green Lantern or Captain America yet...but she expected the GL figures soon.

Test pilot Hal looks like the only one I am getting. I HATE the way these figures look. I mean absolutely despise it. Kilowog looks like green blubber.

Yes my wife is not happy with Kilowog at all. She thinks every one of his figures have been "cute" but she thinks this one is hideous. lol

Picked up the MM Hal today and his head snapped off.....qc on these is horrible. I know its mattel and we expect it, but they didn't even make the POA work effectively here. PJ, how do you obtain a voucher for a new one?

I stumbled across these last night at K-Mart. I went to Target, Wal-Mart, and even TRU, and neither had them, except for this one . I'm super pumped for the movie, so of course these caught my attention. I saw both the 4-inch figures and the Movie Masters. I'll definitely pick up a MM Hal at some point, but since I'm a sucker for 4' figures, I decided to collect these instead as they blend in with my Star Wars, Marvel, and Indiana Jones figures. I decided to pick up Hal for now and will go back tomorrow to pick up a few more. Despite the lack of articulation, I really like these (though some are not too fond of them).

Man you must have small hands I can't even get that ring on my pinky. lol Yeah, at first I didn't see him and was going to settle for Test Pilot, Sinestro, or the Translucent Hal, but I looked farther back in the display case they were in and I found the last one way in the back. As for the ring, it took a bit of pushing it in to get it to slide into place. My hands are not that small, but they are a bit on the bony side, lol. Hope you find that Hal at some point.

quick question to you guys who have the 4 inch and mm figs; do the accessories like the giant fist work well with the mm figs as well?

BTW, does anyone know who is next in the MM line? These are what was listed on the early release list. Movie Masters: Hal Jordan Tomar Re Rot Lop Fan Naut Kei Loi Sinestro Isomat Kol Maskless Hal Jordan Krona Morro Hector Hammond Galius Zed Green Man (MattyCo.) Kilowog (MattyCo.) The series is supposed to have 14 figures in it (plus Green Man and Kilowog). Not sure if that is still the plan.
