Not happy at all with these characters. They are not Mego-era "retro" characters. I was worried this would happen to this line. Hal Jordan is the Green Lantern of the 70's. This could have been 4 other truly "retro" characters. I'll be skipping these 80's charcaters. The rest of the new assortment looks incredible however. Absolutely stunning...especially Wonder Woman, Shazam, and Cheetah!Comment

I'd want Arisia because thats my girlfriends favorite. I'd also like John Stewart but not with 70's fro. Maybe make him more modern like in JLU.
I personally don't care what "era" the characters are. I just want to see more characters. If the radio is calling music from the 90's as Retro, then I'd say anything is game. I know people who refer to Power Rangers and Ninja Turtles as Retro.Comment

You know, after I posted I thought of that. The 80s were frickin 20 years ago already, I guess that is "retro" to a degree. I just think the use of the word "retro" in this line's name in particular is supposed to be referring to Mego. If that's the case, then my original argument applies. I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility that someone would see Guy Gardner and a yellow Sinestro on a card that says "retro" and kind of scratch their head. I think a lot of people will do that and I don't think that assortment will do well at all, certainly not as good as Green Arrow. Just my humble opinion but only time will tell if I am right or not. I just don't see these newer characters selling as well. Then again maybe there's a ton of you who actually like this idea
in which case I accept my place in the minority.

Alan Scott and John Stewart

Hmmmm..... well, Kilowog is doubtful. It would require a new body type. They already decided not to make a new body type for Darkseid, so I doubt they would make a new one for a Matty exclusive. Without a new body, they'd have to go with the padded suit method for Kilowog, which I'm not crazy about.
Alan Scott would be awesome!
I'd like to see John Stewart. I guess Kyle is a good guess, but not one of my personal favorites. I know many of you guys take the Retro in Retro Action very literally, but I would love it if they went with something totally unexpected, like Red Lantern Cyborg Superman, or Black Lantern Batman.Comment

I'd love to see a guardian, and then either John Stewart or Alan Scott.--

Stewart is a LameAss choice here....
Don't get me wrong, as to I like the character,
However All you need is a Black AJ Head, paint his Eye's Green, and slap it in a Hal Jordan Suit. Unless ofcourse the Modern Costume is Used.
I'd just much rather Throw my 20+ Bucks somewhere's to a character That thinks more outside the Box.... The Original Knight ..., Often Imitated, However Never Duplicated. The 1st Knight in Customs.

If I were to choose a GL other than Hal, it would most definitely be Alan Scott.
I loved the JSA as a kid and they're still favorites.Comment

I'm going to pretend there are four left and vote for John Stewart (modeled after the JLU cartoon - marine buzz cut and green eyes), Kyle Rayner (but not crab-face), Alan Scott, and Jade.Comment

My understanding is that Sinestro and Guy are a Toys R US two-pack.
Matty will have 4 other GLs. My guesses are:
Tomar Re
Kilowog
Abin Sur
Salak
But I would really like to ArisiaComment
