Jay's Grade — our honest in-house call, not third-party slabbed.
Green Lantern Sinestro Action Figure (DC Direct 2001)
For early-2000s DC collectors, DC Direct's comic-shop-exclusive line was a revelation — comic-accurate sculpts aimed squarely at adult fans rather than the mass market. The Green Lantern assortment stands among the imprint's most celebrated early waves, and Sinestro was the crown jewel: Hal Jordan's arch-nemesis, a disgraced Corps member turned yellow-ring tyrant, and a character Kenner never adequately delivered before its DC lines collapsed. Mint-on-card examples of this particular release have grown genuinely scarce as the deep clamshell bubbles are notorious for yellowing and warping over two decades of storage.
This example is vintage carded — original 2001 packaging, heat-sealed blister still intact and uncut. The bubble presents clear with no significant yellowing. The card carries expected vintage wear: corners and edges show wrinkling, creasing, and discoloration consistent with long-term storage, which Jay's Toys has assessed firsthand. The dark starfield cardback features a full Sinestro character bio, sculptor credit to J.D. Bowers, a "Now Available" grid listing contemporaneous releases, and a "New From DC Direct — Star Sapphire" cross-sell panel. Inside the bubble tray, Sinestro is dressed in his classic black-and-blue uniform with white belt, and his yellow power ring accessory is present and accounted for.
This is an authentic TM DC Comics © 2001 DC Direct release — not a reissue, reproduction, or later variation. Sourced and condition-assessed directly by Jay's Toys, it's a meaningful find for DC Direct completists and Green Lantern villain specialists alike. Please reach out with any questions before purchasing — we stand behind every vintage item we sell.

Jays is my first stop in collecting. I preorder things through Walmart, Amazon, Hasbro Pulse, etc., but Jays always seem to get the items and either meet or beat the other companies pricing. I always end up cancelling my pre-orders and going with Jays. Better selection, price and MUCH MUCH better shipping quality. You can't even compare anyone else's shipping and packing to Jays. And that's why Jay's blows them all out of the water.
Great fast shipping, packaging with care. I am definitely buying from Jay's again! Such peace of mind knowing my items will arrive minty. 5 stars!
Perfect and careful packaging, shipped super quick. Thank you, will definitely be following the store!
Didn't pull any punches in item description. Came extremely fast and well packed. Extremely happy being a first time buyer! Thank you.
I've been buying from Jay's for a while now and I am never disappointed with the experience. Prices that can't be beat, easy PayPal option, and lots of bubble wrap surrounding the products. The fact that they go out of their way to make consumers happy keeps me coming back.
This is my 3rd or 4th time I have ordered from Jay's. The orders are always correct and arrive pretty quick and packaged extremely well. Best in the industry.

Most in-stock orders placed before 12 PM CST ship the same day. We’re label-printing, box-packing machines — without skimping on quality. Your tracking number will probably show up before you’ve even closed the tab.
Every item gets collector-grade treatment: bubble wrap, proper padding, and zero envelope crimes. We pack like your grail’s riding shotgun with us — damage rate is under 1%.
Yep. We’ve been hunting plastic treasures since the ‘90s. We speak fluent collector (MOC, BAF, grail hunting), we’ve camped outside stores for midnight releases, and we run this place like the shop we always wished existed. Professional enablers at your service. 😎
30 days to decide if it’s true love. Not happy? Full refund to your original payment method. Damaged? We replace or refund fast. Just keep items in the condition you got them, and we’ll make it right — because the only drama in collecting should be choosing a display pose. One exception: trading card game product is final sale, since a sealed box can’t be verified once it leaves our hands.
Calling dibs costs you $0 today — we only charge your card when it ships. No awkward “I paid months ago” limbo. Mixing in-stock + pre-orders? In-stock ships now; pre-orders ship together once the last one lands, and shipping’s charged on each leg (pro tip: check ship dates before combining pre-orders). Dates can shift — we’ll keep you posted faster than Spider-Man slings webs. And if we ever can’t deliver (rare), you’re not charged a dime.
