ULTIMATE SHOWDOWN: GREEN LANTERN VS. SINESTRO STATUE SET
Designed and sculpted by Tim Bruckner.
The Ultimate Showdown series is DC Direct's unique, new interactive concept for high-quality collectible statues featuring the world's greatest heroes and villains squaring off in deadly combat.
Green Lantern delivers a green energy blast to Sinestro, as the Corps' arch-nemesis burns with yellow fire.

The statues can pivot independently on their bases and rotate their heads to customize and direct the action. Collect all the other statue sets in the series! Mix and match them to create your own showdown or combine them all in one ultimate battle scene.
