Green Lantern/Blackest Night Merchandise

[Matt]

What surprises me at the moment is the relative lack of Green Lantern/Blackest Night merchandise - specifically in the area of Ring and Power Battery props.

Imagine being able to buy a wooden display box with a full set of Power Ring props in it - Green, Yellow, Red, Blue, Black, etc etc. A set of (even plastic) Power Batteries...

You mean like these ones to be released on October 7th?

JLA TROPHY ROOM: GREEN LANTERN RINGS PROP REPLICA
An age-old prophecy foretold the coming of the Blackest Night, and the war of light between the emotional spectrum! The Green Lantern and (yellow) Sinestro Corps are confronted by the Red Lanterns, Agent Orange, the Blue Lanterns, the mysterious Indigo Lanterns, the (violet) Star Sapphires and, ultimately, the Black Lantern Corps.
Now, for the first time ever, all of these Power Rings are collected together in one spectacular display!
Eight plated metal rings (each a different color, signifying the insignia of the various Corps) fit into a battery-operated, light-up resin display base. The rings are protected by a removable glass dome that sits on top of the base.
This special prop replica is linked to the highly anticipated “Blackest Night” storyline!
This mixed-media, hand-painted, limited-edition piece measures approximately 8” high x 5.5” wide x 5.5” deep and is packaged in a 4-color box, along with a 4-color Certificate of Authenticity and an instruction sheet. Batteries are also included.
Manufactured to order.
* Rings are removable but are prop replicas ONLY and are not meant to be worn.
Advance-solicited; on sale October 7, 2009 Prop Replica * $250 US

OK, you win.

And that is ... extremely cool. But incredibly expensive!

But you will have one....Oh yes, you will have ONE! :)

You must have also missed the early statues: the fact that Kal-L and J'onn J'onnz were going to be Black Lanterns was actually spoiled by the toy announcements. (Granted, the latter was expected anyways, but the former was a surprise.)

Yeah, I saw those.

I'm actually thinking of things that are easier for the more casual fans to get. Imagine Power Rings being sold separately for less than $10 each. Something normal kids can buy with pocket money and simply play with.

I wore my Orange Lantern shirt to the gym last night.

Pretty cool, but a 250$ price tag is more suitable for a quality replica. This set looks more like a department store toy. 250$? Holy Crap.

Kids?........... Pocket money? Mm-hm! Okay.:wink:
