Green Lantern Green Spinning Ring

The Noble Collection has continued to increase the size of their Green Lantern movie collection, and recently they added four more new products to their line including three more rings and a pendant. Like many of the items in the collection these new items are able to be pre-ordered with a shipping date of December 1st.

At $45 is another spinning ring, very similar to the ring that was added about a week ago, only this ring has the Green Lantern insignia in sterling silver on a green rotating band rather than the black on silver the original offering had. This ring is available in whole ring sizes from 8-12.

Green Lantern Steel Emblem Ring

The Steel Emblem Ring offers a familiar variation to the Green Lantern power ring, featuring the insignia in a bit larger scale on a stainless steel band. The ring, also in whole sizes from 8-12, sells for $39.

Also selling for $39 and being offered in whole sizes 8-12 is the Green Lantern Green Signet Ring in stainless steel. This ring features the logo in green on silver traditionally styled signet ring.

Rounding out the new additions is a black stainless steel emblem pendant on a chain, which is selling for $35.

Noble Collection Doubles Their Offerings

Ten days ago I posted an entry about the Noble Collection and their three offerings for the Green Lantern items, lamenting in particular the absence of a high quality, wearable power ring. Some time since then they have doubled the size of their Green Lantern collection to six items, and this time they've got what I've been waiting for.

At $145 the Noble Collection is offering a sterling silver ring that will be available in whole sizes from 8-12. The ring is not movie authentic featuring a gem stone in the center and a band which narrows towards the back. The sterling silver ring can be pre-ordered but will not ship until December.

The Green Lantern Prop Ring also doesn't ship until December and comes enclosed in a Green Lantern branded display chamber. The prop ring retails for $35 and appears to be a bit bigger and chunkier that the sterling silver ring. While their description says that the prop ring is a size 11 the Noble Collection site does not say whether or not the ring can be removed from the display unit, but the image gives the impression that it is. Given the price point, however, I doubt that this version is designed to be worn as much as it is to be displayed.

The third and final new item is the Green Lantern Spinning Ring. The spinning ring comes in whole sizes from 8-12 and is made from sterling silver. Also shipping in December, this $45 dollar ring features a band of Green Lantern logos which presumably spin around the wearer's finger.

Noble Collection Green Lantern Props Go On Sale

Nearly four months after the release of the Green Lantern movie the Noble Collection today put their collectible items on sale in a new section of their website. When news broke last year that the company, famous for their terrifically detailed products, was one of the licensees for the film many fans couldn't wait to see what would be available. Personally I thought about things beyond the obligatory Power Ring and Battery, hoping for things like a replica of Hal's jet or Abin's ship, a statue of the Guardian's citadel or maybe even Hal's flight jacket. But the reality is that Noble isn't offering anything all that terrific.

Sure there's a power battery, and it's cheaper than the DC Direct version at $145. But early reviews from those who have seen them say that the Noble version is also cheaply made when compared to the $350 DC Direct battery. Like its more expensive counterpart the lantern does light up via an on/off switch, but there's no ring included to trigger the light as the DC Direct offers, creating a bit of a disappointment.

Likewise, anyone hoping for a high quality power ring better hold on to their DC Direct or die cast power version. Noble's Green Lantern ring is unique in that it's the only adult size ring being offered that lights up, but it's not even made of metal, instead it is a "pliant shank" made of a nondescript material for the low cost of $15. I had to look twice at this as all hopes for getting one power ring to rule them all were dashed.

Lastly, we have a dog tag, yes a dog tag. And it costs $35 being made of stainless steel. No statues, no replicas, nothing. That completes the Noble Collection's Green Lantern "assortment" if that term can really be used to quantify three items.

New Images May Reveal Noble Collection Green Lantern Merchandise

When I first saw the list of companies who had been licensed to produce Green Lantern movie merchandise one of the first names that jumped off the list was the Noble Collection. They have a history of producing a wide variety of well made, and expensive, items. I've purchased some of the products from their Harry Potter line and they are top notch and well worth the money. So the thought of them producing a lantern and ring, one that's actually sized to fit, has been something I've been waiting to see.

With just over twenty days left before the release of the film we have yet to see what the Noble Collection will be offering fans. Today, however, a couple of images have made their way to the Internet that claim to have been photographed for the Noble Collection. One features a great looking lantern and the other a ring that appears slightly different from the chunkier design that is in the film. It appears to be a bit thinner than the actual movie ring and the Green Lantern symbol seems to slope outward as it approaches the body of the ring rather than the more straight lines of the ring in the film. This may be a modification that needed to be made for the ring to be more durable or wearable, or perhaps it is a woman's version of the ring (all speculation on my part).
