DC Direct to Make DCnU Justice League Figures



When DC Entertainment formed last year there were rumors circulating that the DC Direct branch would be closing down with the large scale licensing deal signed with Mattel.  At the San Diego Comic Con over the weekend a number of new figures were on display including the DCnU Justice League figures featuring the Jim Lee revamps of many of the costumes.  Included in the batch was a Hal Jordan Green Lantern figure.

Will the War of the Green Lanterns Make the Status not Quo?


One of the things I love to do when reading comics is speculate about what is going to happen, or who the shadowy figure is behind the curtain, and I've had a lot of fun doing just that during Geoff Johns run on Green Lantern.  Sometimes I get it right, but more often than not I don't - and usually what actually happens is much, much cooler than I ever anticipated it would be.  The recent return of Krona, for example, has so much more dramatic potential, especially when combined with the "history of the Green Lantern Corps as we've never known it" backstory, than the return of Appa Ali Apsa or an Avarice consumed version of Sayd.  With the War of the Green Lanterns into its third chapter there has been plenty of fodder provided for fans to ponder the outcome for a story which promises to focus on the four Earth men wearing the rings.  Given some of the clues being dropped, we could be looking at an arc that really will change the Green Lantern universe as we know it.

There are some tantalizing pieces of information that seem to form a case for some major changes to the status quo of the Green Lantern corner of the DC Universe following the current story arc.  First and foremost is a bit dialogue attached to a vision Hal had back in Green Lantern #62 where a Guardian says, "Hal Jordan was once the greatest Green Lantern, but in the wake of this war, he is now the most dangerous.  More dangerous than ever with the loss of one of the Lanterns of Sector 2814."  That certainly leads one to believe that Hal will emerge from this event changed in some way and that one of the three remaining Green Lanterns' from Earth will die.  Although that could also imply that the person has simply left the Corps or joined another.

How will the war change Hal Jordan?

With Toy Fair in full swing today we have some cool images and video coming out of New York City.  First up is a video that shows some of the new toys in action including the transformation of the Ring Blaster Jet to tank, the "Colossal Cannon" and the packaging of the Movie Masters line.  The Green Lantern section starts about 3:33 into the video.


Pietro Filipponi from the Daily Blam is also on the show floor and has posted two pictures, one of the Green Lantern display and another of the Power Battery prop from DC Direct that will cost $350.


The last picture for now shows an upcoming wave of Green Lantern figures that includes Stel, Soranik Natu, Guy Gardner and Arkkis Chummuck.  By the articulation of the figures this appears to be a new wave of figures by DC Direct.

DC Direct Producing Sinestro Maquette and More Emerald Knights Details

DC's Source Blog has been chock full of Green Lantern goodness today and proving things come in threes they have announced that DC Direct will be producing an 11.6" maquette of Sinestro as he appears in the upcoming DC animated feature Green Lantern: Emerald Knights.  Sinestro will be voiced by Jason Isaacs, known to millions of Harry Potter fans as Lucius Malfoy in the movie series based on the novels. 

Emerald Knights is an anthology of six interlocking Green Lantern stories each featuring a major character from the Green Lantern mythology.  Hal Jordan, Kilowog, Sinestro and other members of the Corps share their greatest adventures to new recruit Arisia who, on her third day as a Green Lantern, is called into action with a major conflict with Krona that has the whole Corps ready to do battle.  The stories cross the entire history of the Corps from the first Green Lantern to Blackest Night based on stories by Geoff Johns, Alan Burnett and Dave Gibbons.  It was previously revealed that the short story "Mogo Never Socializes" by Gibbons and Alan Moore from 1985 would be one of the six tales included in Emerald Knights.

The June 7th release will include the vocal talents of Nathan Fillion, Kelly Hu, Elisabeth Moss, Jason Isaacs, Henry Rollins, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper and Arnold Vosloo.
