This Green Lantern bust, is the first in an "ongoing" Heroes of the DC Universe bust series, which is supposed to compliment the "Women of the DC Universe" bust series. While there were a few "Women of the DC Universe" that I considered collecting, the only reason that I considered collecting them was to increase the number of DC characters within my collection (which does not make sense, as I try to collect the ones that I like - not the ones that I necessarily need.)

Anyway, I was glad to see that DC was providing a number of different characters within both the Women of the DC Universe bust series and Ami-Comi series. I hope that they continue to provide such a wide diversity of characters and designs for characters other than Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman.

So, with that said, this statue actually looks like it could be a decent addition and/or beginning of a larger collection.
Points in Favor

• First in the new ongoing DC Universe series
• Non-traditional (but tradition Green Lantern) design
• Green Lantern makes for a good bust character to start with other than Superman or Batman

Points Against

• Lacking the detail in some of the better busts that I have collected
• Uncertain of the production size, as DC tends to distribute and/or redistribute to meet consumer demands

Overall, none of the DC line of busts have driven me to an immediate purchase or a purchase over another bust and/or statue that is currently available.

Personal Choice: This one is up to the collector. - Neutral
