Question about a figure

Sorry if this is in the wrong thread, this is my first time posting. I have a question about a couple of figures that I had seen online.

It was a DC Direct Green Lantern series "Batman as Green Lantern" and "Sinestro" here's a site that I had seen it on.

http://www.superherotoys.com/batmangls3.html
http://www.superherotoys.com/sinestrogls3.html

I think these are the coolest things ever. But is it really that rare or hard to get? So much so as to justify the prices I have seen? If they are that hard to get then I might suck it up and pay those prices. Are these pretty sought after? Or should I pass on them solely because of the price?

TIA

Re: Question about a figure

I can't say much about the toys as DC is outside my areas of knowledge, but they did make me think of vujonny's customs.

Re: Question about a figure

Well DC Direct figures don't usually get re-released. So these figures that were made a couple of years ago becomes hard to find.
People were complaining about a Green Lantern Batman which only appeared in 1 or 2 page of a GL issue. I guess it's still a Batman figure and a cool design so it sold rather well.

The Sinestro figure was released the following year after the Sinestro Corps story arc I believe. It's a really well made figure. Well sculpt and well painted. It became highly sought after when the multicolor lantern corps were introduced and of course with the popularity of Blackest Night and War of Green Lanterns story arcs. I did see a couple of forum posts requesting a new Sinestro Corps Sinestro from DC Direct or at least a re-release.

I will never justify a 6"-7" action figure to be sold for more than $20-25. Afterall, it's just a piece of plastic and should not be worth that much money. Unless you are totally obsessed and can afford the money then go for it.
