While we’re on the subject of comic book superhero movies, I wanted a whole lot more out of DC’s Green Lantern. The movie was responsible for a lot of this, but I guess I could say the same about the Green Lantern Movie Masters action figure line from Mattel. While I haven’t collected that line, I will probably pick up the GL Movie Masters Maskless Hal Jordan from Amazon – Prime prices start under $12 from a number of sellers.
I think it’s a decent representation of the Ryan Reynolds GL from the movie – but on top of that, it’s got some great extras. First, you get Bzzd, the diminutive GL that first appeared in a Justice League of America comic way back when and then featured prominently with the GL Corps during the Sinestro Corps War just a couple years ago. Bzzd will fit in great with your DC Universe Classics Green Lantern Corps if you don’t have a movie GL Corps. And then you get the Power Ring from the movie, which at size 11 will fit most adult hands.
If I could rewrite movie history, I’d switch out Green Lantern with Deadpool for Ryan Reynolds’ filmography – maybe some enterprising customizer can take this figure and make a Deadpool out of it.
