Green Lantern---Blackest Night (Spoilers)

[Darth Snoopy]

That's a cool t-shirt.

Personally I'd like to see a green tinted add-on for a Hal/GL figure.

 

[Buttmunch]

Wish me luck guys. I'm going to try and hunt down those Rainbow Hal SDCC exclusives. First one is tomorrow night - regular GL. I'm hoping the 1 a day thing will drive people off. It did for me at first, but I'm liking Blackest Night too much now to pass them up.

 

[The Mike]

If you can get me one of the good ol' Green! Good luck!

 

[Darth Snoopy]

Good hunting, Buttmunch!

I wish I was at the con so I could get regular GL...oh well, I guess it's evilbay for me.

 

[Avfin]

Did you get one?

 

[Darth Snoopy]

Did you get one?

Nope...not yet, just checking them out on eBay right now.

I was trolling for a new Hal on eBay...picked up the original DCD 13" instead.

I just picked one up myself not to long ago....they are very nicely done. Enjoy!

EDIT....What are the GL DN figures going for at SDCC?

 

[Darth Snoopy]

I've still been checking out the SDCC GL's on evilbay...saw a couple of 13" DCD GL's for a decent price that have me thinking about getting one!

 

[The Mike]

I got the original but now the Corps version is tempting me as well.

That's what I'm afraid of! If I get the SDCC GL...I'll end up wanting the whole set!

Anyone knows what happens when black ring is fully charged?

I'm guessing that all h*** breaks loose!

BTW...there's some new GL statues coming soon!

Michael Crawford's Review of the Week​

Looks like a build-a-scene with seperate statues.​

 

[Avfin]

Hal looks really cool

 

[Darth Snoopy]

I saw a pic of a DC Dynamics GL but can't remember where I saw it!

 

[The Mike]

This thread should be turned into a general Green Lantern thread since that is where its heading...

 

[Darth Snoopy]

Ok...just read GL 44.

Wow. The shat has hit the fan.

SPOILER ALERT!!


















I thought it was bad with the Flash & Hal getting the crap beat outta them by J'onn J'onzz. But when the the Black Lantern Rings arrive at the ruins of the Xanshi homeworld, while John Stewart is there, and the ominous "RISE" is spoken...all I could think of is "OH SHAT!".

When the Rogue Guardian captures the other Guardians on OA and starts ranting, he says "The Black Lanterns are collecting hearts full of the splintered light...and soon it be his turn to rise." I'm wondering who he's referring to?

 

[The Mike]

Since this is a SPOILERS thread, Geoff Johns usually does his homework, his Flash runs were phenomenal and turned a boring character into a must read. I would imagine its either A: A villain from GL's past that most of the general populus has forgotten, B: A new introduced Fallen Lantern of the past a kin to Sinestro's story or C: They are going back to the Parallax well.

Michael Crawford's Review of the Week​

Looks like a build-a-scene with seperate statues.​

Interesting that the statue is all kinds of inaccurate. John Stewart is wearing his Animated costume, Guy Gardner has a mix between old costume, the jacket whose collar is too flared out and new with everything else but still seems to be sporting the old bowl cut instead of the shorter hair he is wearing now, Kyle is in his origins suit which is sad because his new suit is a nice combination of it already and Hal seems to be in his Reborn suit whereas the newer suit doesn't have such severe cuts into the black.

HAL:

GL CORPS:

Maybe its supposed to be showing origin looks but Stewarts is inaccurate still...Is this DC Direct?

Interesting news about the Blackest Night figure line (Still no confirmation on what Wonder Woman will look like or whether or not she'll be a Lantern of any kind):

These are how the waves will be set up plus more are on their way but in planning.

IGN Comics: Can you give us the technical specs for these figures - size, articulation, MSRP and any other noteworthy features?

Brewer: Sure!

Wave #1
- Black Lantern Earth-2 Superman 6.5"
- Alpha Lantern Boodika with removable face plate 6.75"
- Blue Lantern Saint Walker with power battery 7.5"
- Atrocitus with power battery 7.25"

Wave #2
- Black Lantern Martian Manhunter 7"
- Green Lantern John Stewart with power battery 6.75"
- Indigo with Power battery 7"
- Kryb with removable back cage that stores 2 alien children 7"

Wave #3
- Black Lantern Aquaman 6.75"
- Green Lantern Arisia with power battery 6.5"
- Star Sapphire with power battery 6.625"
- Larfleeze The Orange Lantern with Glomulus and power battery 7" GLOMULUS is 2.375"

Wave #4

- Green Lantern Kyle Raynor with power battery 6.75"
- Black Hand with Batman skull 6.75"
- Wonder Woman 6.625" to top of head (hair increases height)

Later waves are in the planning stages as well as Multi-Colored Ring Replicas

IGN Comics: We notice Hal Jordan and Sinestro aren't among the figures - is that simply because you've been releasing Hal and Sinestro in other lines?

Brewer: Our collectors (thank you all) tend to stay with our lines for some time, so we felt that the relatively recent releases of the figures satisfied the need. Their scale and sculptural style where a perfect fit for the line, and we had another plan for Hal from pretty early on as a key player for our summer convention exclusive.

IGN Comics: You mentioned more figures planned for the Blackest Night line. Some of our more favorite creatures in the Blackest Night series - such as Arkillo, Mogo or Dex-Starr - are a bit out there. Are characters like that a bit tougher to pull off, particularly if they're, say, a Green Lantern planet?

Brewer: The wider Corps is filled with cool characters that we would love to play with sculpturally. As we continue to add to this line some of the ones you mentioned may find their way in. I've asked my production team several times where the manufacturing quotes are for our scale 1:1 Mogo figure, but I think it is bogged down in some silly discussion about packaging and shipping issues. I'll have to ask again...

IGN Comics: Are there plans to do more deluxe items like oversized action figures or statues? Are those a bit tougher to time to storylines as you have with Blackest Night?

Brewer: We have a number of GL related product coming out in the next year, which we hope will help extend the Blackest Night fun. Props are always tricky as they each present unique manufacturing challenges, while statues can be easier than actions figures because the production time is a bit shorter. Our multi-colored ring Prop and quarter scale Hal statue hopefully will extend this program and satisfy collectors of all stripes. We have a few more things in the hopper so keep watching dcdirectonline.com!

IGN Comics: Anything else you'd like to add about DC Direct's Blackest Night action figure line-up?

Brewer: Blackest Night has work for us on a number of levels, and presented the perfect opportunity for DC Direct at the upcoming San Diego Comic-Con. When we were kicking around ideas for our exclusive figure, this seemed a natural fit. Seeing Hal in the uniforms of the various colored Corps is an interesting story point and makes for some cool figures. From the costume designs to the packaging these figures will be essential for anyone who wants to complete their Blackest Night collections.

Looks like there might be 13" Black Lanterns on the horizon....I wonder who.

Also it was confirmed that the Green Hal that was the SDCC Exclusive is just a redeco of the Superman/Batman Hal and not an actual new figure but with remodified head and metallic paint.
