About “Green Lantern”
In a universe as vast as it is mysterious, a small but powerful force has existed for centuries. Protectors of peace and justice, they are called the Green Lantern Corps. A brotherhood of warriors sworn to keep intergalactic order, each Green Lantern wears a ring that grants him superpowers. But when a new enemy called Parallax threatens to destroy the balance of power in the Universe, their fate and the fate of Earth lie in the hands of their newest recruit, the first human ever selected: Hal Jordan.
Hal is a gifted and cocky test pilot, but the Green Lanterns have little respect for humans, who have never harnessed the infinite powers of the ring before. But Hal is clearly the missing piece to the puzzle, and along with his determination and willpower, he has one thing no member of the Corps has ever had: humanity. With the encouragement of fellow pilot and childhood sweetheart Carol Ferris, if Hal can quickly master his new powers and find the courage to overcome his fears, he may prove to be not only the key to defeating Parallax…he will become the greatest Green Lantern of all.
“Green Lantern” stars Ryan Reynolds in the title role, under the direction of Martin Campbell. “Green Lantern” also stars Blake Lively as the spirited Carol Ferris, a test pilot and the heir apparent to her father’s aviation company; Peter Sarsgaard as scientist Dr. Hector Hammond; Mark Strong as Sinestro, Jordan’s powerful mentor in the Green Lantern Corps; Jay O. Sanders as Carl Ferris, Carol’s aircraft designer dad; Temuera Morrison as Abin Sur, Jordan’s alien predecessor; Taika Waititi as flight navigator Tom Kalmaku, Hal’s good friend and confidante; Jon Tenney as Martin Jordan, Hal’s idolized father; Academy Award® nominee Angela Bassett (“What’s Love Got to Do with It”) as enigmatic government scientist Amanda Waller; and Academy Award® winner Tim Robbins (“Mystic River”) as Hector’s influential father, Senator Robert Hammond. Campbell directs “Green Lantern” from a screenplay by Greg Berlanti & Michael Green & Marc Guggenheim and Michael Goldenberg, story by Greg Berlanti & Michael Green & Marc Guggenheim, based upon characters appearing in comic books published by DC Comics. The film is produced by Donald De Line and Greg Berlanti, with Herbert W. Gains and Andrew Haas serving as executive producers.
The film is scheduled for release in 3D and 2D on June 17, 2011. “Green Lantern” will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
I posted about this on the tank, but thought people would appreciate it here as well.
Green Lantern Hal Jordan Figure And Packaging Revealed!
Here are the first few pics of the new Green Lantern 4 inch line. Here's Hal:

It looks like the avatar leg articulation, and it is supposedly in the 4 inch (not 3 3/4 inch) scale! I'm pumped. Hopefully there's a comic wave like what Hasbro does for the Marvel movie figures, too.
I wanted to credit Riddick on Marvelousnews.com for letting me know these pics were out there.
Jordan seems a *little* better than the Infinite Heroes. Tomar Re looks like he's a lot cooler than the ackward pose he's in.
This may have potential. But I need/want to see them first hand.
Either way, I'm such a GL slut that I'll probably collect them no matter what.
looks pretty cool!

Of course it could be just on this figure but who knows with Mattel's track record!
Tomar Re is supposedly the 6 inch figure.
WOW! That's just disappointing.
Those just suck
It looks kinda good,Hal's packaging looks good,the figure looks good,but Tomar is "meh",Hal just like doesn't have knee,ankle,elbow,and wrist articulation just like @Autobot_Goldbug said.Is the 3 3 4 inch figure line the one with the light-up figure,or is the Hal figure just a prototype?I mean when i got the toy "menu"(thats what i call it)of ROTF,i saw that Optimus was supposed to have individual finger articulation but no,he got the gun holding hands,but its still an ok TF fig. But toys will be toys, Mattel should do a better job in their 6 inch line.
Incredibly excessive packaging for an action figure.
Of course it could be just on this figure but who knows with Mattel's track record!

The sculpting is what I'm commenting on.

Power Girl prototype had more articulation than the final figure!
Are we sure that this is just the 4 inch prototype? The 6 inch Tomar Re seems to have all his articulation ready.
Tomar Re is a 6" figure and Hal is a preview figure so I'm still holding out hope that The 3 3/4" GL figures will be better than DCIH

I've got every right to like how it looks. Deal with it and get out of my face.
Looking at the hips on Hal, it looks like they'll move similar to the DCUC hips. I think because the t-crotch is so, wide that it's a little off putting. The sculpt itslef isn't too shabby and the inclusion of a removable ring in the base is total win.
As for Tomar, from what we've seen it looks pretty spot on. The textures are great and he feels rightly alien. I think it's a good sign that the'yre trying increase the quality of the Movie Master products.
.....I was watching the trailer for the GL movie before TRON began and my GF asked me if I wanted to see it, as a complete geek I said I may have to. Now looking at the figure I may have to....take a hankie with me ( :'[ Not seriously diggin' the GL suit at all, dam!!
Now the figure, It looks to me that this might just be a limited ed. (pic) Hence there might be more of Hal figures coming out with the articulation where it "should" go, but then again I might be fooling my self. If this is the new norm for figures ( 4" and/or 3 3/4" ) the I guess my collecting Marvel & DC figures might be coming to an end, which sux for me.
I do hope for something along the lines of IM2 figures, but not the F***ING madness of Exclusives to one particular store cuz that S**T is bananas. I don't need to remind you of how insane the search and acquisition for WM was.
So if MATTEL reads/lurks through this site, listen up!!! QUIT THE B*** S**T and put out some awesome stuff, we're your bread and water!!!!

I don't blame you for liking it. It is a nice statue.
DCUC is such a great line, I can't believe they can't capture any of that greatness in their smaller figure lines.
jorden could be better but Tomar Re just plain out sucks
terrible. just terrible.

Which is a concept beyond you, apparently. A simple "Better? IMO, not better at all" would have been far more civil and conductive of an intellegent conversation.
Alright, enough. Agree to disagree and move on.
As for the GL toys, I'm not impressed. I said this on Twitter, but I'll say it here as well: Mattel is the toy company equivalent of an 80's cartoon character: learns a lesson by the end of an episode but forgets it by the beginning of the next one.
Hopefully, the movie will still be good.
DC UNIVERSE CLASSICS. MATTEL has posted a photo of the movie masterpiece Hal Jordan on facebook and it looks way better than the preview figure.
figures look like shit but what do you expect its mattel lol
And I just managed to replace my DCUC Hal and get the TRU Rebirth version last week, and now this news hits. Green lantern fever?
Anywho, the figures look awkward. Just like the Avatar toys. But I'll have some optimism, and hope that the regular releases look and function better.
