Mattel completed their image library of Green Lantern Classics (there will be only 2 waves) on their Facebook page, and posted details for the movie line-up of toys. Read on for those details.
Green Lantern Fans,
Last month I posted a toy linepreview of what’s coming in the new . When Matty Fan Forums member Fightoned posted in the Ask Matty section that he wanted more details, Toy Guru answered. He asked me to share his response with everyone, so here you go!

Q. I have seen and read all kinds of great stuff coming out with the Green Lantern movie. But what is the complete list of all the lines associated with Green Lantern? Your news section hints of figures but a complete listing would be VERY HELPFUL! — Fightoned
A. Ready? The majority of the line is kid-aimed. While we will have our Movie Masters® and other adult collector items, we’re really excited to get kids playing with Green Lantern!
The Green Lantern lineup will have the following products (click here to see images):
- Basic Figures. Each basic figure comes with a construct accessory. The larger characters, like Kilowog or Voz, come with a “construct adaptor” letting their larger hand sink up with any standard size construct. There will be a total of 20 figures, including a few Hal variants, but this is the bulk of your figure selection. Each figure also includes a kid-sized ring.
- Figure/Vehicles. 8 different “construct vehicles” (from and inspired by the film) that all transform between two modes with “ring activators,” such as a pull-string ring or a twist-and-unlock ring. This line will include Abin Sur’s escape pod, Hal’s mech suit, and Kilowog’s space cycle.
- Deluxe Figures. Battle Shifters™! All of the Battle Shifter™ figures feature a transforming construct that instantly springs out (think plastic origami) with one touch! Check out Tomar Re’s Scorpion Assault and Hal Jordan’s Capture Claw™!
- Galactic Scale™ 10” Figures. Featuring Hal and Kilowog with light up rings and chest symbols. Each comes with a construct weapon.
- The Final Showdown. Hal vs the giant menace Parallax with grab and capture feature. Awesome “try me” feature on this guy!
- Ring Blast™ Jet. This one won’t be out until the fall. It is a giant version of the deluxe Battle Shifters™ and springs out from Tank to Jet mode in seconds. Includes lights and sounds, firing projectiles and an awesome “in flight” Green Lantern figure!
- Role Play Mask and Ring. Includes a light up ring!
- Power Slingers™. Instantly sling out a Green Lantern weapon, like an axe or fist!
- Colossal Cannon™. Right from the Green Lantern movie. Hal’s cannon fires 10 discs and blasts out Green Lantern lights and sounds!
- Movie Masters®. Highly detailed, fully articulated 6″ scale figures from the Green Lantern movie. There are 12 figures in the assortment, including 2 Hals. One Hal comes with a die-cast ring; collect the other 11 figures and build a giant 14” Collect and Connect™ Parallax figure!
Only at Toys R Us:
- Movie Masters® 2-Packs. Exclusive figures like Abin Sur and redeco with re-releases. There will be 2 in spring, 2 in fall.
- 12″ Giants of Justice Green Lantern (I’ve been waiting YEARS to find a way to release this guy first shown at SDCC in 2009!). Comic-style 12″ Green Lantern based on the Four Horsemen sculpt!
- Ultimate Construct Pack. A 3-3/4″ Hal with 10 awesome constructs.
- Green Lantern Die-Cast Ring and Key Chain. The “movie prop” ring is adult-sized, but includes a key chain so kids (and grown-up kids) can wear it on their backpacks.
Only at Wal-Mart:
- Green Lantern Action League® Mini Collection. 6 different packs in movie and comic style.
- Green Lantern Guardian 2-Packs. Pairing of a redeco basic figure with an all new Guardian figure. Also includes Power Battery accessories! 6 packs in the assortment.
- Green Lantern Battle Breakouts™ Helicopter. Split this construct helicopter into 10 hand-held construct weapons and build the helicopter again! Comes with an exclusive Hal Jordan in “comic book” inspired deco (he has white gloves in this deco!).
Only at Target:
- Light-up Figures. There are 5 in the assortment, featuring light-up chest and oversized construct.
Only at Kmart:
- Green Lantern Capture Claw™ Accessory. Hours of gripping role play fun.
- Green Lantern Basic Figure Test Pilot Pack. Hal and Martin Jordan in 3-3/4″ scale. Includes Ferris Air Parachute and Construct accessory.
- Only on Mattycollector.com:
- Green Lantern Oversized Movie Masters®. Larger characters like Kilowog and Green Man in scale to the 6″ Movie Masters® retail line.
- Ultimate Movie Masters® Hal Jordan. Talking 12″ figure speaks the Green Lantern oath, featuring the voice of Ryan Reynolds. Includes his Power Ring, and when you hold the ring close to the figure it “magically” ignites light-up power-up effects with light and sound. We’ll have this one at SDCC to test out. Ya gotta see this one in person! ($80)

You might be surprised to hear how long it takes to bring a toy line to life, and Toy Guru had this to say about working on this iconic brand: “I’ve been heading up the Green Lantern team for the last two years, so personally I am really thrilled to see this one hit. Green Lantern is going to be an amazing experience and what looks to be a real pop culture event. I couldn’t be more proud of the work the whole Green Lantern team has done!”
Well, there you have it, Green Lantern fans – everything Toy Guru knows, you know, too! The toys start hitting retailers shelves on May 1st and RA Guy Gardener, oversized Green Man and Classics Wave 2 all go on sale at MattyCollector.com on May 16th. We’ve got some images here http://www.mattycollector.com/store/matty/ContentTheme/pbPage.GLLine and you can find most of the rest on toy retailer websites.
