Green Lantern - General One Sixth Figure Discussion

Re: Hot Toys Green Lantern - Offical License Announcment

Well, sculpted body or not, his hips will have to be outfitted with a rubber layer, lest you want those ugly hip joints to show. All of HT's bodies, including the muscle bodies, have those joints and they are relatively unchanged from release to release. Don't see that changing here either, unless you want Mattel DCU-styled hips.

Given his groin is black, unless you're up close with your nose all in his junks sniffing it, it'll blend fine. But yeah, they'll probably give him the PVC undies like the other muscle bodies have.

They'd have to meld the pvc/rubber undies with the sculpted plastic body seamlessly. This figure will be quite the challenge for them, they haven't yet attempted a character that is practically naked.

I'm willing to bet that this is a one-and-done license. They can't re-use anything from the Hal GL figure for any other GL Corps and we all know that for ancillary and secondary characters Hot Toys loves to re-purpose existing materials. The movie will have to do gangbusters in theaters for you guys to get any of the more alien GLs, or even Sinestro.

Oh I think GL and Sinestro will happen and the chick could just using a normal female body.

I see them doing Sinestro if just to milk the new body a second time and make it's production worthwhile.

Okay, maybe Sinestro, since it seems he's a fan favorite (not that I'd know for sure). Tomar Re and Kilowog? Nah. Not unless HT really falls in love with the film (or the idea of the money generated by the film, which isn't guaranteed).

That's the hope, but Sinestro's 'suit' patterns and musculature are distinctively different, and not being a GL fan or anything even I noticed. I suppose it is possible that HT will hope fans won't notice.

Yeah, I'd say those won't happen unless this film is really super great. I think its gonna be really close to that but we shall see.

Re: Hot Toys Green Lantern - Offical License Announcment

I can live with just Hal and Sinestro.

Re: Hot Toys Green Lantern - Offical License Announcment

Any of the aliens that are in the film would require specialized bodies that I just don't see HT spending that much time or effort especially with their plate being so full. Basic bodies are the safest bet.

Locks:
1. Hal Jordan
2. Sinestro

Possible:
3. Abin Sur
4. Hector Hammond
5. Carol Ferris in flightsuit.

Anything past that is a dream. Given that Hal is shown both masked and unmasked, I'm expecting two heads and I hoping to kitbash a Pilot Hal as well. I'll need at least two Hals and a loose unmasked head.

Such awesome news! But like another poster said, we have a long wait until this is on our shelf.

Re: Hot Toys Green Lantern - Offical License Announcment

Hal and Sinestro I'll consider if the movie is good.

Kilowig would be ____ing monsterously awesome

Blake Lively has been horrible in everything I've seen her try to act in so I'm hoping she doesn't ruin ever scene she's in for this film. It'd be about the only way I'd want a Carol figure.

Re: Hot Toys Green Lantern - Offical License Announcment

SWEET! instant HAL buy

Re: Hot Toys Green Lantern - Offical License Announcment

Re: Hot Toys Green Lantern - Offical License Announcment

NO FREAKING WAY, first X-men First Class now this, Boy Hot Toys really loves its fans

i'm hoping for painted and sculpted rubber body as the costume, masked and unmasked Heads, Lantern and minigun for Hal

i'll definitively get Hal, Sinestro and Kilowog.
