That's a fair point. I never noticed the Clock King platinum actually had a different head. I don't own either the regular version of the platinum, and I just noticed the difference face and colors. On the subject of the Green Lantern Corps, I guess the fact that the heads are swappable makes the different heads on the platinum seem like less of a fundamental difference than swapping out a cape for a jacket to me, but maybe that's just me
It's a crying shame that these are the 'chase' versions rather than available to order separately. I want to get jacketed Power Girl and yellow ring Guy, but McFarlane continues to treat the business like it's the 90's...

I honestly kind of really want that Guy Gardener platinum, though seeing how that open mouth face seems to work, hollow mouth, but apparently there's a tongue and teeth on the head, makes me think that head will look TERRIFYING without any of the faces, it's gonna put Huntress and Mister Terrific to shame!

There are some politics at work here.
McFarlane has strong opinions on the popularity of female figures. I think we're lucky he makes as many as he does. I worried about this when he got the license and it's come to pass.

Of course Power girl is sold out... It's getting frustrating when you always have to be on guard to get the figure in mere seconds.

I had planned on buying from McFarlane Toy Store this time because it was one of those rare times where I actually wanted the bundle but then I saw they priced it at $101.96 which is more than the 3 figures sold for separately ($89.97). LOL! I even have $80 worth of credit there that I would have liked to use some of, but whatever.
I ended up ordering from BBTS, Amazon, EE, and Gamestop. Some of them have February dates on this wave.
