Suggestion for new Green Lantern PF? [Archive]

SuperJ300

02-09-2014, 07:12 PM

With a possibility of a new Green Lantern to be made to fit in scale and style with the Justice League,

What pose do you think the new one will have?

Fully Sculpted or Mixed media?

And any suggestion for what the EX can be??

I have no suggestions on pose, but I think fully sculpted best fits the character.

If you are looking to influence the design, you would probably be more successful listing your wants under the pretense of things that you don't want it to have. Whatever your recommendation is, SS will do the opposite.

As much as I think another Knee up pose won't go down well with other collectors, I think this suits GL best!:buttrock:

And yes I would love to see him holding a power battery, since Batman has Batarang and WW has Axe and shield.

As can be seen from my suggestions I would like to see something that incorporates the power battery. Here are a few takes that would not necessitate the maligned "knee up pose".

A new Green Lantern is totally possible of course but it would be quite a ways away (like years and years away) if it does happen at all.

Just wanted to make that clear. Carry on with your wishes and hopes for a future GL! :-)

Well yes, we have Flash and Aquaman to come out first.:D;)

I don't believe a new Green Lantern has been confirmed (unless Igo has been spilling information that I'm not aware of, ha!). A new Green Lantern is totally possible of course but it would be quite a ways away (like years and years away) if it does happen at all.

I'm glad SSAlex mentioned this since so many people are making out the GL PF to be part of a different "line" than the JL PFs...there's no PF lines, they're all just DC PFs. Just enjoy the Hal we got cuz the next Green Lantern PF will probably be named either Kyle, John, Guy, Kilowog or Sinestro.

Maybe another GL would get made sooner if it was codenamed Iron Man.

LOL! And while kind of true, count the amount of 1/4 comic book Iron Man statues SS has done and how long its been since one came out . . . ? It really has been several years. Iron Man is actually due a PF of one of his Modern armors, honestly. On the other hand, Captain America needs to have a seat.

A lot of people aren't fans, but I will say that Hal Jordan is incredible. Whenever someone buys one, I only hear good things.

My only issue is they decided to ramp up the size for Batman, which means Superman will also be ginormous. This can create issues for a Justice League team display However, as a stand-alone GL piece the existing Hal is great. So long as Sinestro and any future GL characters are to scale with him, I'm not bothered.

I don't think he'd be that hard to do. In a way, he'd be very similar to Punisher, just without the harness. No cape, a tight no-pit issue green & black body suit with SS's trademarked glue-on chest logo, sculpted white gloves holding a lantern in one hand, sculpted green boots, and a head sculpt or two...all while standing on a generic rocky base.

They could pump him out as fast as they did Punisher.

True, just might need a slightly tweaked head sculpt, just to differentiate it a little I would like classic black shoulders instead of green, since that version could work with a sinestro and abin sur head.

I didn't get a green lantern, because I initially thought he looked a bit odd, later, when I saw some in hand pics, I kind of regretted not picking one up. Now I am unsure again because the only picture I have seen with him next to batman PF made him look disproportionately small, and it was my intention to display the Justice league together. Does anyone have a good pic of Green Lantern next to Batman?

SuperJ300

02-10-2014, 05:03 AM

Green Lantern premium format is a great piece, can't decide to get him or not myself?

I have a little GL display shelf going in my room, love some of the GL titles out there. He would fit in nicely with them.

He definitely does not fit in with the trinity! Costume is too modern and shiny!

I couldn't turn down a Kilwog PF tho!

Xaerius

02-10-2014, 08:29 AM

I really liked the original GL PF and painfullly watched it sell-out but was unable to order it due to some other financial obligations at the time (it was him or Superman and I couldn't pass up the Man of Steel).

Having seen this PF next to Batman, I have to mention that the pose simply doesn't fit well at all, not to mention the minor size difference. In my opinion, Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman have powerful iconic poses, not action poses, and the Hal Jordan that should compliment those should also be of a powerful and iconic pose instead of the action pose of the previous PF. That is just my opinion.

I don't think that the new GL statue, whenever it gets announced, will detract from the previous action pose because both will have their place and I, for one, am really looking forward to the powerful and definitive new iconic pose. I am certain that Sideshow has a LARGE number of concepts on the table at any given time and I have no doubt that a new GL has definitely been discussed so it is more a matter of when rather than a matter of if. They definitely shouldn't wait TOO long though since they should definitely tie the new one to the trilogy.

DC Direct 1/4 scale is 18" tall SS "1/4" is 21" tall.
Looks like DC Direct has more bulk, and SS base takes up almost half the height of the statue. But amazing detail on SS version tho.

The GL comiquette/PF is fine for now. I still think it's a tad undersized and really wasn't happy about all of the non-info from Sideshow on this one. If they do another (probably years from now) I would prefer a different materials. The fabric works perfectly fine for Batman and presumably Superman, but I'd like something that feels more high tech for GL and Flash.
As for a pose I'd prefer something more grounded but with a choice of swap-out constructs. That said, the fist on the EX is pretty cool.

Green Lantern is a fine detailed sculpt for sure, but he could be customise into the boy wonder Robin with the size of him.

02-10-2014, 03:50 PM

because Batman is to big!

The comparison between them is certainly off and GL is a tad small for 1:4 but Batman is way bigger than 1:4.

That combined with the fact that GL has such a forward lean is what makes the scale issue between them seem even larger.

In reality it isn't that off.

Batman is huge, but in scale with Joker, Ivy, Superman and confirmed by SSAlex Wonder Woman.

The Dar Knight is a figure, I have it and it is awesome piece. It's also hard to tell in certain poses if it's a figure or a statue, it is so well done.

Batman from his foot to the top of his head (not counting the ears) is about 19" so 1/4 scale that's 6'-4", so height wise it's accurate, I think the issue is he's extremely bulky.

I know some folks have praised the DCD GL, but it just doesn't work at all for me and the fabric looks like a mego. Sideshow did kind of blow it on the scale though probably not factoring in shrinkage or something, who knows. The difference is even more apparent in the comparison pics posted above. So much for mixed media and fully sculpted both being Premium Format. Batman is still in the box so have not looked at him side by side with GL or other PFs for that matter. It's probably going to end up taking some creative displaying to get the DC lineup to match up properly. However I did hold on to my custom GL and Sinestro just in case. They are a bit oversized as well, so I will seeing how those match up with Batman and Superman. It would be pretty cool if they did work out. I actually think the pose is more dynamic on that one anyway, although the head sculpts are not as detailed. I also have a Flash and Reverse Flash in that same scale but they need to be repainted.

I'm under the same impression.

I think the current GL was made to be displayed against the upcoming Sinestro and less with the rest of the JL. That said I don't personally think he looks all that bad displayed next to Batman but I'm pretty certain SSC always had this GL and upcoming Sinestor built for a dio style head to head display.

I like the GL custom, but I thought I heard or read somewhere that it (along with the enraged Superman and custom Batman) is slightly over 1/4? Not denying that the SS GL is slightly undersized.

Green Lantern is a fine detailed sculpt for sure, but he could be customise into the boy wonder Robin with the size of him.

Showing pics of GL head on beside Batman does not provide an accurate portrayal of their respective sizes. We know GL is undersized, but his leaning pose makes it look worse than it is.

It isn't. That is only because of his lean.

This pic better shows that they are actually closer in size than most people think. I'm not saying that this is the definitive GL statue and everyone must bow down to it...just saying that the scale issue is overblown.

because Batman is to big!

The comparison between them is certainly off and GL is a tad small for 1:4 but Batman is way bigger than 1:4.

That combined with the fact that GL has such a forward lean is what makes the scale issue between them seem even larger.

In reality it isn't that off.

Good pics. Holding the individual pieces side by side again shows that they are actually not that far off.

I like the GL custom too it's very dynamic but I think the portrait on the SS piece is superior. Also the customs hands/wrists always look small to me. Could just be the pics.

I think the SS Sinestro will blow that custom out of the water, but we have to wait and see the SS piece in hand...hopefully they can pull it off.

Showing pics of GL head on beside Batman does not provide an accurate portrayal of their respective sizes. We know GL is undersized, but his leaning pose makes it look worse than it is.

I am not defending the GL piece because I own it. Honestly if they did revisit him and I preferred the new one I would have no issue trading up.

I just want people who may be on the fence because of the scale to be able to make an informed decision.

lol I just noticed you can see the Andy head peeking out of the background. I keep it behind the statue for easy access :D

I don't like the Green Lantern PF because of that horrible left arm. The position and angle of it just does not look right. No matter what angle I see him at.

That was my major gripe with it as well. I always felt that it looked as if he were sculpted to hold the battery and then it was left out because the battery was in the base. I have the 1:4 scale battery positioned behind him to make it look as if he is carrying it and I think it helps the pose a lot. (post #25 for the pic)

Look up "ufc superman punch" and his pose will make sense.

Yeah but the pose is still a little awkward. Just try doing it and tell me it doesn't hurt a little. :laugh:

That pic shows it even better.

I have marked it up to show approximately where the top of GL's head would be if he were standing straight. It's not exact, but by eyeballing it, it looks like the sole of their boots are roughly the same level (the lower foot on each statue)...so if you straightened GL out, he'd come out somewhere around Batman's nose or mouth.

I think Batman is listed as 3" to 4" taller than GL...so really, it's not that far off height-wise. Bulk is a different issue. Batman PF is a beast...close to Hulk maquette size.

Again, I don't care if people don't like the current GL PF. I am not opposed to SS doing a new one, and in fact, I'd probably PO on day 1. He's one of my favorite DC characters, so I am all for more GL PF's.

Even SS ignores that GL PF. When they announced WW they wrote: "the third DC PF after BAtman and Superman" lol

To all that really want a 1/4 scale GL that works perfectly with Batman PF sooner rather later then I highly recommend a custom one. Great pose on it and awesome resin effect.

Except that it is an illegal, unlicensed custom....

Great example, here I've done scale comparison on before and after, where GL is about 23"
