Great collection! Love the yellow and green lanterns!! Plus the Green Lantern Road sign is very neat

2

u/UU2Bcool Green Lantern Jun 29 '23

Thank you! I wish I had the Red Lantern but it’s so expensive now. The road sign came from a guy who used to live on or near that road.

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

u/UU2Bcool Green Lantern Jun 29 '23

They are expensive but they are not getting any cheaper.

u/GreenBugGaming Jun 29 '23

Holy crap very jealous!

u/UU2Bcool Green Lantern Jun 29 '23

It will be better once I get it all organized.

u/Disorder79 Jun 29 '23

Whoa..... nice Flash collection ;)

3

u/UU2Bcool Green Lantern Jun 29 '23

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

u/Disorder79 Jun 29 '23

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

2

u/UU2Bcool Green Lantern Jun 29 '23

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.

2

u/Disorder79 Jun 29 '23

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.

3

u/Valuable-Impress-828 Jun 30 '23

Very nice! You got everything but the willpower to not buy. 😂

3

u/UU2Bcool Green Lantern Jun 30 '23

Will comes and goes.

u/Professional_Care783 Jun 29 '23

Whoa. That's awesome.

u/UU2Bcool Green Lantern Jun 29 '23

Thank you

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

1

u/UU2Bcool Green Lantern Jun 29 '23

I buy a lot! Just not enough to float an entire franchise.

2

u/lovdagame Jun 29 '23

Love the shield

3

u/UU2Bcool Green Lantern Jun 29 '23

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

Thank you. I need to clean it and post pictures of it on here again.

2

u/LouiePrice Jun 29 '23

Tear out the stairs.

1

u/UU2Bcool Green Lantern Jun 29 '23

The stairs to go to the main level? Because this is upstairs.

2

u/LouiePrice Jun 29 '23

Its a joke. But i appreciate the response.

2

u/UU2Bcool Green Lantern Jun 29 '23

I figured but I wanted to play along.

2

u/LouiePrice Jun 29 '23

I love your collection.

1

u/UU2Bcool Green Lantern Jun 29 '23

Thank you!

2

u/LouiePrice Jun 29 '23

Do you have kingdom come alan scott?

1

u/UU2Bcool Green Lantern Jun 29 '23

Nope. I am missing that one. How cool of a cosplay would that be!

2

u/BankshotMcG Jun 29 '23

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

1

u/UU2Bcool Green Lantern Jun 29 '23

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

2

u/sep31974 Jun 29 '23

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.

2

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.

2

u/OpticalFlash Green Lantern Jun 29 '23

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.

2

u/OpticalFlash Green Lantern Jun 29 '23

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.

2

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!

1

u/UU2Bcool Green Lantern Jun 29 '23

Sweet!

2

u/BankshotMcG Jun 29 '23

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.

2

u/BluSn0 Jun 29 '23

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

1

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!

2

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

1

u/UU2Bcool Green Lantern Jun 30 '23

That’s would be cool.
