Zimm's Two Cents
With all of the popularity around Blackest Night, this one should not have surprised me, but it did. I guess it is because I kind-of / sort-of liked it. Initial pass caught my eye. Scrutiny drives me away.

Points in Favor
  • While I am not 100% certain about it, I do like the general look of the fabric.
  • They captured Hal Jordan's personality in the piece. From the raised eyebrow to the slight grin.
  • The Mask is cool.
Points Against
  • The Hair. From the front view, it just doesn't take.
  • The skin tone looks more like make-up then skin tone.
Recommendation: Neutral. While I was initially leaning toward a Pass, I realized that if you are a die-hard Green Lantern fan that this would not be a bad piece for you. If you aren't, you might want to look elsewhere.
