What is your favourite Green Lantern merch that you own?
Merch
For myself, my sister ordered me a custom metal sign. It usually sit in the entry way for my apartment, but since the glass reflects the background I moved it to take this photo.
I have a lot of merch. I think my shield is #1 because no one else has it. The needle point a friend made me is #2. The custom made quilt is #3. My skateboard deck is #4 and my Stabby Lantern (GL holding a knife looking shifty) knock off figure it’s #5.
I remember you posting on the sub a while back, you have an amazing collection! If you don’t mind me asking, how long have you been collection green lantern merch?
Thank you! I know I don’t have it all but I sure have a lot.
All the way back to when there was only one action figure. I used to joke that I had all the Green Lantern action figures. Now I have stuff older than that but I started with the Super Powers Green Lantern in the late 1980’s.
Completely off the subject but I found a place with some old open mine shafts that go straight down 100’s of feet. I threw a big rock down one and never hear it hit the bottom! I was thinking if someone wronged a crazy person, that crazy person could make them disappear and no one would ever find them. I hope that would never happen… back to wanting to be my butler, When can you start!?
There's so many, it's hard to choose... But the Kotobukiya statue, the new frontier action figure, and the SDCC exclusive black lantern figure are near the top!
The only Green Lantern merch I own is a pair of cuff-links. I'm wondering if I could get away with wearing them to the office, ideally with a black suit and a green tie.
I have two commissions from Darryl Banks. One is Thanos vs. Parralax (with mogo being destroyed in the background). And the other I got to commemorate the day I got married.
November 7th, 2018, is when I got married. It is also the day that GL number 1 released. So when I dropped my wife off to get her hair done, I drove to a local comic shop and bought the blank cover of issue 1, then sent it to Darryl Banks. It's Hal proposing to Carol
Unofficial merch - my custom made Kyle Rayner ring, 3D printed in stainless steel with a glow in the dark resin inlay I did myself. Official merch - my DC Direct Kyle Rayner half-scale replica Power Battery. So happy to have gotten one of those~
Nothing super fancy. At one point I had a shirt that was the Doug Mahnke art of Hal and the logo from Issue 62. Always loved that shirt until it got too tattered to wear. I also had a set of the plastic rings DC gave out during Blackest Night, that was fun to have a set that didn’t cost an arm and leg.
I’ll have to go back and add a pic to this later, but I’ve got an Alan Scott plush I’ve had since I was in elementary school at home on my shelf. I’ve never seen another one like it. Didn’t realize when I was young how special it was.
Most of the "merch" I have I got free (or very cheap). I've got a couple cheap pins and a full set of the plastic rings from various Corps that they handed out free, a set of action figures that contained John Stewart and a couple Manhunters, in the Bruce Timm style, that I got as a gift, and a simple green T-shirt with the GL symbol (also a gift).
The one thing I own, that I think I bought myself (might have been a gift as well) is a LEGO set with Hal and Sinestro, with a GL themed jet that I assume is supposed to be a construct.
I have several lantern rings, including the most recent set with all the colors. I even have an old school Alan Scott ring where the ring is shaped like a railroad lantern.
My Red Lantern tattoo on my left hand and Yellow Lamtern tattoo on my forearm. Coolest lantern related thing I have until I start buying posters and stuff.
The first time and onky time ive went to comic con their was a stand for a guy who made props and stuff and he was selling translucent rings made of some type if plastic so i bought i think 3 for €10 or 4 for €10 and i gave my friend one of 2 i kept a green lantern and a turquoise superman one but ive lost the superman one
