    Do you want Matty to continue the Retro Green Lanterns?

    Okay, first off, let's just say that extending the Green Lantern figures at Matty Collector doesn't take away from the line at all and wouldn't be at the expense of any other DC character you want to see or the schedule in which they are being released. All this would be gravy on top of the huge pile of mashed potatoes.

    If the Matty Retro Green Lantern line is a success, would you want to see additional Green Lantern characters and variants (appealing for Matty to re-purpose existing head sculpts and the existing GL costume)?

    I'm assuming for the most part that a Retro line would need to consist of humanoid characters, but there are certainly enough of those... even Kilowog could be done in the padded suit Darkseid manner.

    Which re-purposed Variants would you like to see?

    What new Lantern characters would you like to see? Tomer Re? Abin Sur?

    John Stewart in the JL outfit? Guy Gardner as a Red Lantern? Kyle Rayner's current outfit? Hal's current outfit (or is that too much like his current outfit anyways)?

    Coloured Lanterns? Atrocitus? Star Sapphire?

    Movie versions?

    No thanks. There's far too many untapped characters that deserve a retro figure first.

      Yuck. I'm buying these to be a completist, but I what a waste of opportunity to add deserving "retro" figures to the line.

      I hope this ends with Kyle Raynor (really Kyle Raynor?!?).
      My Updated Want List:
      Comic book original art
      1970s Hulk or Spider-man metal garbage can
      Custom Mego Nexus, Grendel

      Have lots of comics and Marvel Legends figures for trades. Thanks!

        Although I guess as DIY projects go, it's not that hard to swap Sinestro's suit onto Hal and paint his mask yellow.


        Blue Lantern Kyle Rayner might be fun, but a definite NO to paisley (excuse me.... "camo") purple John Stewart.

          I'd be interested in John in his JL costume. Katma Tui would be awesome. Arisia is one of my favorites so I'd like her too. Maybe a 2 pack with a male and female Guardian?

            I'd like to see Alan Scott for sure. Tomar-Re and Kilowog would be nice.

            But I'd like to see Mattel offer another concept for the RAs on Matty. Maybe an Alter-Ego series? Clark Kent, Bruce Wayne (in a tux), Hal Jordan (in flight suit), Barry Allen (lab coat and bow tie), etc?

              I think it would be great! I love army building!

              I already made a custom Tomar-Tu, but would like a vinyl headed one.

                  I would be interested only if they continued adding new Lantern characters. I'm not really much into variants. How much space can anyone hold for these?

                    I will cross my fingers that the GL exclusives stop after the movie.

                    If Mattel decides to continue with the movie tie-in idea, maybe some Superman and Batman supporting characters and villians could be released in support of their 2012 films.

                    What do you guys think?

                    Here are some ideas:

                    Superman: Man of Steel line of exclusives:
                    Clark Kent
                    Lois Lane
                    Toyman
                    Prankster
                    Lex Luthor (business suit)

                    Batman: Dark Knight Rise Line of exclusives:
                    Bruce Wayne
                    Robin (if not out already and if he is then Dick Grayson in Neal Adams style college outfit)
                    Batman (year one style with batarang)
                    Scarecrow
                    Poison Ivy
                    Mr. Freeze
                    Catman
                    Deadshot

                    (I would be very happy if a Batman related line went on for a good long time.)

                      I am looking for a Hal Jordan Head to make the yellow lantern Hal. Matty sent my initial one smashed in a bubble wrapper, and has no lantern, so what the heck? I fugure i can make sinestro a GL while i am at it.... But as for extending the line? nah. GL is one of my favorite of the DC heroes, and even i think Kyle and the new sinestro were overkill.

                          Alan Scott would be cool. So would Kilowog, Power Ring, and Star Saphire. I love G'nort too, but I can't imagine it would be a big seller. It kinda falls off for me after that...

                            Green Lanterns

                            I think the exclusives would be better served by putting out villians, the list is endless and offers a lot of variety. However, I would not mind some alien lanterns. But just think of all the villians who could fight our Justice League. For every hero there is at least a dozen bad guys. Really need a Hawkman, Atom, and Black Canary to finish the league though.

                              YES, YES, and YES! I can't get enough Green Lanterns! I also want to see new characters...but wouldn't mind a few variants, just as long as they don't over do it.
