So has anyone else noticed the alterations on Green Arrow?

The head sculpt is more angled and refined. I notice the mask has more arch in the brows and helps make the face better. His head is less fat/squat than it was before!

I see definite improvement in the GA's face. Keep working on refining the features of the other characters as well. Especially Green Lantern. This was a great step in the right direction.

The bodies are also strung differently this time around.

However, the re-stringing does not fix the problem at all. It is slightly better but can't be fixed until a ball joint is utilized.

Kudos for the try though. At least Mattel is moving in the right direction and addressing multiple complaints.

Also noticed less sludge in the package. But what about the rest of you?
What is your verdict?

I got two when it was first available so I didn't bother this go 'round, but I would love to see the improvements. Any pics?

Really? I can't see any difference between them.
Ditto on the request for photos.

I cant draw any comparisons to the first release, but my GA does have Green Gloves vs the Black ones shown in the picture.


As a side note, I was a little disappointed in the card condition when I opened my white box today. I am a MOMC collector. Any one else have the same problem?

Yeah, I wondered about the gloves before ordering. Somewhere else, somebody told me that that was the same prototype pic from the original sale - Mattel just hasn't updated it.

I can understand why you might have issues with the card. Mine are pretty- erm- wavy? I think they were trying to make them look aged, even beyond the faded printing and whatnot. I suppose you can try to accept it as "mint," since, for this figure, they're all like that and it was intentional.

Sorry not tech savy enough to post pictures! The bodies are definitely restrung differently...which makes no difference at all. Maybe it is better paint apps that make GA look different.
