Here's how WizKids describe the figure:

"Sinestro, one of the most terrible villains ever faced by Green Lantern and the heroes of the DC Universe, is coming to HeroClix! Standing 6¾" tall, in the form of a giant golden translucent figure from the alien race the Qwardians, with his thunderbolt spear held nearly 8" off the ground, the Sinestro construct is the biggest HeroClix figure yet! Floating within the constructs' chest sits Sinestro himself, the master of the yellow power ring.

The Sinestro construct figure, as with Sinestro in the DC Universe, will be a challenge even for Superman or the Green Lantern. The Sinestro construct is scalable to 300, 200, and 100-point versions, making him usable in any HeroClix game."

The fully-assembled translucent DC HeroClix Sinestro figure comes ready to play with a large-scale combat dial a-la the Marvel HeroClix Sentinel figure. The DC HeroClix Sinestro figure will carry a recommended retail price of $19.95 when it streets in January, 2003.

Man does that look cool! I wonder what "bonus" figure (if any) will come out for Clobberin' Time? Galactus? Maybe skip the giant figure motif and go with a SHIELD helicarrier?

This still seems like a weird choice. First, there's no Green Lantern figure to challenge it, second, if you want to play Sinestro, he's locked in this form, which makes little sense, and third, unlike the sentinels, there's little story reason to have multiple Sinestros, really.

But I'm buying it. :)

I'm not too big on HeroClix but that thing looks cool. It's even better that Sinestro sits within it.

Quite true Gail. But I'll get it. Mind you, I STILL don't have a Sentinel yet.
