GREEN LANTERN
The Ringed Ranger
ORIGIN
Test pilot Hal Jordan was mysteriously taken from his plane
one day by an eerie green glow. Brought to the crash site of
an alien vessel by it's pilot, Abin Sur, Jordan was named to
replace the dying Sur as Green Lantern, protector of space sector
2814. It was Jordan's noble spirit and force of will that led
the ring to seek him out as a replacement. Green Lantern has
a powerful ring that responds to the user's will, all-powerful
except for an impurity which renders it unable to affect all
yellow objects. Green Lantern's ring must be repowered every
twenty-four hours from the battery that is linked to the central
power source on the planet Oa.
FIGURE STATS
Green Lantern comes with his power battery and thrusts his ring
toward danger whenever his legs are squeezed together. (Which
makes him the hit of all the corps parties.)
COMMENTS
Who cannot think that this is the definitive action figure?
This being the classic, pre-Parallax Hal without the graying
temples, a figure who does Gil Kane's artwork proud. Green
Lantern's mold would later turn up repainted as the Riddler,
but the majesty still remains. (Can you tell I like this figure?)
