UNI-FORMZ Green Lantern by DC Direct
DC Direct continues with their stylized urban-vinylization of superhero characters with UNI-FORMZ: GREEN LANTERN! Hal Jordan (as Green Lantern) is the third character to announced after Superman and Batman. Each 8 inch tall vinyl figure features 12 points-of-articulation and are packaged in a deluxe 4-color window box with a sale date of December 16th, 2009. Price is currently undetermined - but for reference - earlier solicitations had a SRP of @ US$49.99.
PRESS: Three unique versions of Green Lantern are available: the Modern version, dressed in the uniform the character is currently sporting for the "Blackest Night" story arc, which features a metallic-like hue; the Classic version, dressed in his Silver Age tank-top uniform; and a translucent Power Glow version.
In keeping with the tradition of designer toys, rarity of certain incarnations are the norm. The Green Lantern variants ("Classic" and "Power Glow") will be produced in far lower quantities.
TRE-IMPRESSIONS: As much as I have become a fan of Jordan (and Green Lanterns in general) in the comicbooks - this figure might come as an anti-climax to Supers and Bat, IMHO. Although if it was released in conjunction with the GREEN LANTERN: FIRST FLIGHT aka the made-for-DVD animated original movie - than it would make more "sense", IMHO. Other than that, if both Classic and Modern Jordans had a green-glow-in-the-dark ring? = *Cool*
