DC Direct 1st Appearance Green Lantern

Did you know that there was another Green Lantern in existence before Hal Jordan put on his ring?

During the Golden Age of comic books DC Comics introduced Alan Scott as the original Green Lantern.

When DC Comics presented to the world Superman the response was far more positive than the publisher expected.

Recognizing a good thing when they saw it the owners of DC Comics decided to release more comic books starring superheroes.  Thus the DC Universe was born.  Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, The Spectre and Green Lantern were all released in a short period of time.

The first Green Lantern his powers from a Green Lantern with energy derived more from magic than science.

The DC Direct 1st Appearance Green Lantern, fully articulated, 6-inch figure comes in a clear front panel hanger/standup display box.

The figure is clearly visible and is held in place by a form-fitting, clear plastic cocoon and plastic coated wires.

The blond hair Green Lantern wears a purple eye mask, a red shirt with an open collar and a Green Lantern symbol in a yellow circle.

His green pants are held up by a wide black belt with a silver buckle and his feet are sod in red knee boots with yellow strap bindings.

The figure also comes with a real cloth, purple and green cape with an oversize collar.

Included with the figure is a plastic Green Lantern.

The right hand is positioned to hold the Lantern and his left is in a fist.

Paint application and sculpting are clear, crisp and extremely well done and articulation is cleverly hidden in the folds of the cloths.

Genesis 1:3 (KJV) “And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.”
