    has anyone mentioned this Green Lantern variation?

    The GL I bought today has a black line around the chest emblem. The one I bought last week does not. The new emblem with the black line has a much darker shade of green for the actual lantern symbol. Unfortunately the emblem was not cut perfectly, so there is some white showing beyond the black line near the bottom of the circle.

    Upon even closer inspection, the "stroke" around the lantern symbol is thicker on the black circle emblem. These are entirely different emblems it seems.

      So does that mean there are two different variations for a total of four different possible variant figures, given that I've seen talk of different length neck collars? Or was the neck collar thing more the result of body swaps?

      It's tough to keep it all straight.

              Mine looks like the one with the visible black edge. No extra white edge, though.

              And the whole emblem, like yours, looks crisp and bold and opaque. The other one looks thinner, which is probably why it's showing wear already. I notice that you can see the texture of the material through it.

              The suit material seems different, too, doesn't it? The suit with the black-edged emblem also has a richer green color than the other suit which has white showing through the green.

              Did you buy both figures at the same place?

                Mine has a very slight black ring around the edge.

                  Man that one one the right looks all stretched out and cracked? I have vintage figures with better emblems.

                    Yup, just a couple weeks apart. I do think they were separate shipments.

                      It just looks like one has the line cut out the other doesn't......if it is a variation add another 20 bucks for the Ebay scalper leaches

                        It's more than that. The actual symbols are a different color and the black outline (or stroke) of the lantern symbol are different widths.

                            hmmm...mine is the weaker style.
                            Mine has no black outer ring and the symbol looks very thin...sorta low-resolution.

                              has anyone mentioned this Green Lantern variation?

                              You have to question the material or style used for these emblems. The first Green Lantern i bought my son last week was removed only once, and posed very briefly..... However, it's apparent that the emblem has already begun deteriorating..... Same with my son's Superman. I have an Original Fantastic four costume (over 30 years old) and the emblem is still intact.
