DC Universe Infinite Heroes Crisis Series 1 Action Figure #37 Green Lantern
From Mattel
DC Universe Infinite Heroes! Hal Jordan Green Lantern Figure #37!
Amazon Sales Rank: #32885 in Toys & Games Brand: DC Universe Classics
A very simple figure, but a nice design and an excellent addition to a collection This figure is of the Hal Jordan Green Lantern and comes in his classic green and black costume, with white gloves and a painted-on green ring. What I like so much about this toy (and, indeed, the whole DC Universe: Infinite Heroes line) is its simplicity. Just the figure in the character's defining look. No silly accessories, no gimmicky costume variations. And the toys have an old-school design, with just the basic moving joints: elbows, knees, hips, shoulders. (The shoulders are ball & socket joints, a nice upgrade.) I love this figure because I never really had a proper Green Lantern figure and with this nice new DC Universe: Infinite Heroes line by Mattel, I can collect my favorite heroes and villains and have them all fit in with each other. Same size, same classic style. I'm not a comic book reader and know very little about the Green Lantern (my superhero knowledge comes primarily from older cartoon shows), but I know he's an important hero in the DC universe and I was excited to add him to my growing collection, joining Batman, Shazam, etc. (I'm still after Superman and the Flash.) I really like the way the figure looks. I think I prefer this Hal Jordan costume to any earlier or later variations. And I'm glad the figure isn't see-through green or anything weird like that. I was just looking for a straight-up Green Lantern toy, and here it is. The toy comes with no accessories, but is made out of a durable plastic and is ready for action. It should withstand normal playtime rigors and would make a nice addition to any 3-3/4" scale superhero collection.
