“Fear is born.”
Fueled by his hate for the Green Lantern Corps, Sinestro unleashes the power of fear with Parallax. Released in 2024, two years after the Hal Jordan Parallax figure, McFarlane Toys does a decent job of capturing Sinestro in all of his Parallax empowered glory. The figure utilizes the exact same mold as the Hal Jordan Parallax figure and thus features the same amount of articulation points, which is twenty-five.
Aside from the paint applications, which are composed of pink, black, and white on a gold base, and Sinestro’s head, there aren’t any differences between the Hal Jordan version and Sinestro’s version of Parallax. Sinestro does come with one lone construct, a yellow Parallax construct, but that’s it for accessories. He does come with the token base and collector card, but nothing else.
Sinestro’s articulation is very stiff. His cape is one solid piece. Thankfully, McFarlane has moved away from the molded capes and have chosen to finish out their DC Mulitverse run with wired capes in their final figures. Sinestro’s face looks amazing, properly evil, but the paint apps on the body are hit and miss.
I understand why McFarlane chose to reuse the Hal Jordan mold and I really love Sinestro as a character, but I don’t recommend purchasing this figure unless you’re a big Sinestro fan or can find it on clearance like I did. McFarlane’s run with DC is almost over, so be sure to grab some of your favorite figures before Hasbro gets their hands back in the DC Multiverse.
Thanks for checking out my review. I have plans to review quite a few upcoming McFarlane figures, so keep an eye out for them.
