Yep, that's it exactly. I missed out on the first round of orders in early January, which were all cancelled anyway. In the second half of the month, TRU put it up for pre-order again, and I ordered 2. But then people's orders started to be canceled from that round of orders, as well.
In early February, TRU put it up on their site a THIRD time, this time with a higher price ($28.14 instead of the early $24.99 price) and I ordered 2 more to make sure I would get them. Then TRU confirmed, processed and shipped BOTH orders, much to my surprise!
thumbsupSo, at this point, I have 2 extras that I'm trying to decide what to do with. Since there's other GL movie merchandise turning up in stores, but not in my neck of the woods (at least, not yet) I may go ahead and use them to trade for other GL memorabilia I want. :cool

when is the DC direct version going to be available?

Supposed to ship in early June, but don't count on it. DC Direct has a really bad habit of letting the ship dates slip by at least a few months.
For example, the (comic style) Sinestro Corps Power Battery Prop was solicited in March of 2010 with a planned ship date of October, 2010. It didn't actually hit stores until February, 2011. :unsure

I have to get one of these rings and put in my vacation request for the day the movie comes out.

is the neca ring available for purchase or pre order yet?
Turns out the green LED lights are in the DISPLAY BASE, not the ring itself. Stupid Mattel.
We were interested to hear that the ring lit up, as we couldn't figure out how to do it for the movie rings without running wires to them. Turns out Mattel couldn't either. :lol

So, what are the chances Mattel is using a prop ring for their mold?

Slim to none. Have you SEEN the ring that came with the Toys "R" Us Exclusive Early Bird Figure? While it is nice, and better than I expected from Mattel, they got the texture on the band wrong, the "battle damage" (simulated nicks/gouges/chips/whatever) in the face "gem" does not match the movie prop, etc, etc. The ring with the interactive electronic figure seems to be basically an upgrade of that ring, with a different color scheme (big, light gray ring around the center gem, for instance) and a magnet installed to activate the figure. Otherwise, I expect the same inaccuracies will be present, plus the added inaccuracy mentioned above.

I didnt mean the band. Just the face. It looks like a modified face to me. Added nicks and such.

Speaking only for myself, I've seen pics of the Movie Power Battery Prop as shown at Toy Fair and/or recent comic conventions, but pics of the DC Direct Movie Power Ring Prop have been conspicuously absent. Not really sure what's up with that.
