    I agree the market is already flooded with OVERPRICED Green Lantern Stuff, which once the Movie has passed will be sitting on the discount bin for a number of months.(like new trek and terminator and gi joe)
    Mattel should move on to other Hero/Villian related figuresd. I for one would love a HawkMan/Hawkgirl set or a Doctor Fate (Classic) with a Matty new version exclusive.
    I do want a well made Green Lantern Arisa and Star Saphire figure though.

      It goes without saying (or it would have if I didn't just say it) that I would love this line to keep going onto infinity. That said I am sure it won't, but I would love to get a Kilowog out of the deal. Star Sapphire would be nice too, heck a repainted Luther head on the GL body makes Abin Sur. I know I am probably in the minority on this one, but I love this side line and will gladly take any Mego style Lanterns I can get.
      No body takes pot shots at Lubic! Good Journey

        If they were continuing the GL line as MattyCollector exclusives, I'd like to see:

        HEROES:
        Kilowog
        Guardian two-pack (one male, one female)
        Katma Tui
        Tomar Re
        Alan Scott/Golden Age GL

        VILLAINS:
        Black Hand
        Star Sapphire
        Legion (from Emerald Dawn)
        Qward Weaponeer
        Oan Manhunter

        I'd also really, really like a modern/JL outfitted John Stewart, too!

It shall be life."

          Thinking they had to include:
          Kilowog
          Tomar Re
          The bald unreleased/original Stewart from the original RA lineup protos
          and Abin Sur

            There was never a bald Stewart proto, however I would like a Stewart in his animated Justice League outfit as well.
            Expectation is the death of discovery.

              He just HAD to be on the list. Mattel saw that, realized the figure would be so awesome folks heads would explode because they couldn't handle the coolness, so they went with Kyle Rayner instead.

              It'll happen some day, Doc. You moved the heavens to get us Retro Heroes, you can do it again and get us our G'Norts. Chase that dream, son!

                I would gladly continue buying from this line if we could get:
                Kilowog
                Tomar Re
                Abin Sur
                Alan Scott

                I'd set up a shelf just for Green Lanterns!

                    Wow! Did they reach the prototype stage or just proposal?

                    So perhaps Alan Scott did have potential!

                    In my mind I was thinking Kilowog, Tomar Re and Abin Sur might have been shoo-ins given their prominence in the new movie.


                    Even though I know he's the longest shot ever, I'm shocked at the shout-outs people are giving G'Nort. I honestly thought I was the only one. DC/Geoff Johns are completely disinterested in him currently. Dog love the Brave and Bold cartoon though.

                      It would have been interesting to see how they would fit characters like Kilowog or Tomar Re in RA bubbles.
                      Alan Scott could have been the best RA figure released yet.
                      A GL Sinestro with or without mask would have been cool, easy, and Abin Sur would also have been an easy but essential character.
                      They also could give us the classic GL costume on any character (the one where there's no green on the shoulders but just a straight-cut line from the torso?) and that would have been a neat, alternative look. People might have bought a lot of that figure for the old-style costume to put on there other GL figures.

                        Green and Yellow lanterns, yes. Kilowog and Arkilo on the Darkseid body, Tomar and Romat Rue, and it would be really cool to see a retro Maash head (s).
