The 2010 Toy Fair started on Valentines Day in New York City and runs for four days. Amongst the hallowed halls of plastic ecstasy were the first glimpses of a number of new Green Lantern related products that will be hitting store shelves during the rest of the year. Here's a summary of what's been spotted so far that wasn't already included in my previous entry on Green Lantern products for 2010:
Fisher Price:
As a part of their Imaginext product line geared for younger children is a Green Lantern Hal Jordan figure complete with a jet construct. The jet fires a green projectile out the front. This product is actually available now from Fisher Price's website for $12.
DC Direct:
DCD Direct continues to put out some great collectible props and actions figures and on top of all the stuff I mentioned earlier, there's even more Green Lantern product coming that we knew about before.
There have been three other prop batteries released in the past, but making an appearance this year will be a Sinestro Corps power battery and ring. Like the previous props the ring will turn the light on the center light of the battery. The battery looks to be a repaint of the Green Lantern battery, with a modified handle and the logo redone for the top.
There going to be a two-pack of Green Lantern figures if the origins line of figures that DC Direct is putting out. The Green Lantern pack consists of a Alan Scott and Hal Jordan figure and should be released in September.
The wallet breaking freight train of Blackest Night figures continues as DC Direct also announced another wave of figures based on the blockbuster hit. This is wave 6 in the line if I haven't miscounted. This new wave features an updated Hal Jordan figure, Black Lantern Hawkgirl, Blue Lantern Flash, and Star Sapphire Wonder Woman.
In the JLA Classified Classics line there's also another Hal Jordan figure, although I think it's one of the worst looking Hal figures I've seen in a long time. This figure is part of the third wave in this series with an anticipated December release date.
WizKids:
In May WizKids is set to release a starter pack of Blackest Night inspired characters for their HeroClix game. The seven figure set includes Hal Jordan and the six deputies of the various Lantern Corps.
Mattel:
There are a number of new items coming from Mattel this year that include Green Lantern.
A Green Lantern Batman and a Sinestro figure are set to join the line of figures based off of the popular "Batman: The Brave and the Bold" animated series.
It looks like the "Infinite Heroes" line of 3 3/4" figures are getting a name change to link them to DC's 75th anniversary. Included in their launch is a repackaged version of Hal Jordan, a green translucent Guy Gardner variation, and a new 3 pack featuring Kyle-lax, Sinestro Corps Sinestro and a green translucent John Stewart.
Alan Scott joins the DC Universe Classics line in Wave 14 and Walmart will be getting an exclusive five pack of DCUC Green Lantern figures including Tomar Re, Guy Gardner, John Stewart with his Mosaic era costume, grey templed Hal Jordan and a Green Lantern Sinestro.
There are still a couple more days left in this year's Toy Fair event, so if you're like me and cannot head to the event, take a look at the Cool Toy Review website. They've done a great job covering the event for the rest of us poor slobs and have the high quality versions of the small pictures I've included in this post and I thank them for letting me use some of their pictures here so that I could give photo reference to all the Green Lantern goodness to be had this year. They have a huge collection of photos from not only the DC related products, but all the major toy lines being shown in NYC this week. So check them out.
