Zimm's Two Cents
As you have probably noticed, my current favorite series is the Green Lantern and Blackest Night titles. I have never been a Green Lantern fan; however, after the Sinestro Wars and now with the Blackest Night, I can not get the comics soon enough. Also - I have trying to figure out which Green Lantern graphic novels I need. Suggestions?

Points in Favor

• I like the colors.
• While you can still see the stick holding them up, The Guardians of the Galaxy Universe look good. I like that they are floating.
• There are a lot of little details showing up in this piece. Guardian's faces and hands.

Points Against

• Hal's face looks off. The hair and expression just don't seem right.
• I feel like if you buy this piece, you HAVE to buy the other pieces - which I am not that thrilled about.

Recommendation: Neutral. Okay, if you have been a Green Lantern fan for life, you will probably be all over this collection. However, after looking at some of the other pieces, I think that some of the details may be lacking. So, I am still waiting on Green Lantern statue that I have to add to the collection.

Robert's Two Cents
I'm not currently reading Green Lantern, but I've always been a fan of Hal Jordan. One of my first comics was a reprint of Hal Jordan's origin.

Points in Favor

• Green Lantern looks good.
  
• The Guardians look good too. I'm not a fan of the look of the ponytail on the one on the left.
  
• The post and most of the sculpt are great.
  

Points Against

• The hair is way off. Not their fault, but I miss the grey at the temples look.
• I don't like this version of the Green Lantern costume. I like Hal's traditional costume or the one John Stewart has worn since the early nineties.
• The face is a bit off, but that frequently happens with rendering 2D characters in 3D.
  

Recommendation:Buy . I like the basic piece. The entire series intrigues me. There are just enough minor things to throw me off on it, but I'm still going to give it a buy.
