John Stewart Retro Action

[actjac01]

This outrage is ridiculous, it's a doll.

Ummm..., it's an action figure.

Now, I'm not a follower of Green Lantern, but I like this one myself.
Anyway, I don't think Mattel's 'breaking the bank' on rolling this one out, thus preventing them from makiing other figures.
Seems to me they're taking a page right from the old Mego 'playbook'.
'sides, this is a Matty exclusive, right?

Sorry man, I just saw the finished figures and they're pink, not green. Production issues, don'tcha know?

Awe man. I knew that was gonna happen.

I love the way he looks!!!! I hope this isn't a prototype and we wind up with something different.

Please don't hate me for saying this but in my retro minded thinking Green Lantern is basically just the guy in the green suit. I am not sure variations of a hero in the same line is very retro....well they are still cool tho, but before the boy wonder??

The way Im seeing it is Matty is going to offer the Lanterns as exclusives to cap on the Movie comming out (Which is a great idea) but the regular line will have Robin in it (Hopefully the next regular wave)

Too Many Lanterns?

Not sure what you mean. I did read the thread. The cover to his first appearance has no mask.
Clarify.

Actually I did miss a page of the thread. Sorry.
The cover (his first appearance) did have him with no mask so my comment was not wrong.
Thanks for the kind bedside manner.

^ You are wrong. Read the whole thread. The mask has alreafy been addressed.

Actually it is a proto. You can expect the greens on the factory figure to match, and the vinyl pieces on the clothing probably won't have the grain.

All in all a good-looking figure, although I'm not a fan of the hairline. Kyle's a young guy, and this gives the appearance that it's receding.

Kind of gives me a SWAT feel, like it.

Like this?



Actually, if I remember correctly Jon had no mask in his first appearance so this is accurate.

that Kyle looks pretty cool. never a big fan of the character but then he came along just as I was getting out of comic collecting. I wll definately pick up each of these.

Kyle was just shown at toyfair: Retro Action Kyle Rayner - Mego Talk

Wow! That Kyle Rayner looks pretty good!!! I made a modern version of him with his "return from the dead look" but I always thought the 90's Glenn Danzig/Kyle Rayner karate green gloves looked pretty good!! I'll take one of those when they come out.
As for the yellow Sinestro, that's pretty cool. I had a feeling that was going to happen. I was about six months from customizing a yellow suit on one of my spare Sinestro figures. Now I'll will wait.

[pmwasson]

Anyone notice the Kyle Raynor head on this card? Yes, we'll be getting as 90's Kyle sometime. I have not seen pix yet.

Wow, you actually got to see Green Lantern on the shelf? That must've been cool.
