Zimm's Two CentsI was really hoping for the best on this entire series, but after really looking at the Hal Jordan and Sinestro, I kindof gave up hope.  I realized that I would not be lining several shelves with a collection of interglactic ring barriers.

Lucky for me, Larfleeze carries the whole lantern with him instead of a ring.

Points in Favor

• Great colors.  The orange looks to be the perfect shine.  It contrasts nicely with the white, black and Larfleeze's skin tone.
• Great piece of sculting.  I actually like this rendition of Larfleeze.
• He's holding the Lantern like he means it!
• Always thought the base for this series was a good idea.

Points Against

• Is anyone really going to know who the hell Larfleeze is when they are glancing over your collection?

Recommendation.  Buy.  Even though I am not going to buy the entire series, this one is a statue that I would definitely put in a visitor viewable spot
