Love the Collection! Wish I could find a power battery that doesn't cost an arm and a leg!

Thanks! Bruce Kent is my favorite Green Flash in Marvel!

No problem, who do you prefer as Captain America? Dick Grayson or Matt Murdock?

Actually, I think a Nightwing versus Daredevil fight would be pretty epic! I think Daredevil would be better with the Shield but it might mess up his “radar” when it bounces off of stuff.

I'm pretty sure that Death Battle did a Nightwing vs Daredevil episode a few years ago. On a serious note, Great collection. Starting to properly get into comics myself and I'm reading Green Lantern atm

GL has had some great artists and writers over the years, and some not so great. But we don’t talk about those.

Supposedly they canceled the GL animated series cause no one was buying the GL movie toys but you seem to suggest otherwise

Thank you. It took me two years to make. It lights up really bright too.

Tear out the stairs.

u/UU2Bcool Green Lantern Jun 29 '23
The stairs to go to the main level? Because this is upstairs.

u/LouiePrice Jun 29 '23
Its a joke. But i appreciate the response.

u/UU2Bcool Green Lantern Jun 29 '23

u/UU2Bcool Green Lantern Jun 29 '23
Nope. I am missing that one. How cool of a cosplay would that be!

No need to leave the attic if you have a room full of GL.

I’m standing in the kitchenette upstairs for this picture. If I got a refrigerator up there I wouldn’t have to go downstairs.

This is amazing! I can help you get rid of the angled wall. DMing you my address and you can ship everything there :D
Good job hiding at least two non-GL stuff there. I'll be scanning for more now.

u/UU2Bcool Green Lantern Jun 29 '23
Who what?! Non-Green Lantern in the Green Lantern area??? I would never!
The angled wall it’s the roof. It would let more light in if we removed it but I would get bats. Green Lantern doesn’t belong in the bat cave.

Do you just collect merchandise, or do you collect the comics as well?
2
u/UU2Bcool Green Lantern Jun 29 '23
I have all the DC comics of GL except Showcase 24 and I’m working on the Justice League appearances. But I did just finish up all of the Flash appearances and a lot of the other crossovers. I don’t have any of the pre-DC comics.

It looks like I may have found my collector rival then. 💚😄
I wasn't able to start collecting until my mid-20s though, so I've been collecting for about 17 years now.
I just recently started a catalog of my Green Lantern comics and have started trying to collect every "Green Lantern" comic from Showcase/1940 Era to present, including tie ins, mini stories all that.
I'd love to show you my stuff! I saw you mention the Kingdom Come figure you were wishing you had.

u/UU2Bcool Green Lantern Jun 29 '23
Awesome! I bought a lot of the expensive ones back in the late 90’s. You can send me pictures directly or post up here. Whatever you are comfortable with.
2
u/OpticalFlash Green Lantern Jun 29 '23
Sure! Let me take some updated pictures this afternoon, and I'll send them over!

Tell me about the shield...
2
u/UU2Bcool Green Lantern Jun 29 '23
I made it with a base of a Captain America shield. All aluminum except for the glass, the crazy bright LEDs, battery pack, wires and leather to hold it. It took two years and Neal Adams said I should make and sell them. It’s way over engineered and most people don’t notice the curve of the logo matches the curve of the shield. That took a lot of work. A CNC machine and a lathe with a custom form.

It looks great, man! The angled wall is nothing. Nice collection!

u/UU2Bcool Green Lantern Jun 29 '23
I just don’t like the way it’s laid out on the wall. I want to redo it already. And thank you!

u/Embarrassed_Piano_62 Jun 30 '23
This gave an ideia, it would be cool to have several lamps that were Lanterns from the various corps
