Does anyone make Green Lantern rings?

Since you pointed me over here, Djinn...

I am certainly NOT the biggest GL collector on this board, but I have been collecting GL rings for over a decade now. I have some of the action figures and statues, but I primarily only have the ones that came with rings.

I took a break from collecting GL material back in the late 90's, when I got stiffed on a few eBay transactions that cost me (both in money, and missed opportunities for a GL ring!).

However, I did find my way to getting the original Power Battery props and statues with rings that came out.

Here was the state of my collection just over a year ago.

But then I got into one of my periodic eBay binges, and I found a couple of bargains, which then spawned some research into just all if the GL replica items I had missed out in the '00s. So by summer the collection looked like this:

I was starting to run out of room on that mantle, and loathe to come up with a new display area, so I was glad when I remembered my wife had gotten a white glove form to use to make a Goa'uld Ribbon device years before. It made the perfect roost for my growing collection of rings, and gave me more room on the mantle below.

Here is the current status of the collection:

One issue I've had with the glove form is that the fingers are too wide for some of the rings - eventually I will need to replace it with one with skinnier fingers. Especially as more and more rings are released! :lol
 
Well this thread has essentially become my collection showoff thread as far as Green Lantern rings goes. So i might as well post my newest ones here.

They are still a little crude and not quite finished, but I'm happy with them.
 
Pretty cool ring collection. What about making a ring that actually glows green? Anyone have an idea on how to do that?
 
Wow, I've forgotten about this thread,



I have tried those guys months ago, they have one serious problem with replying emails. As in they have never replied me at all.

And I have padded my collection a little since making this thread a couple years ago

I don't think this is all of them either, just the ones I have shown off on some other boards.

Very nice! Are these your latest creations? :confused

You really should make some Work In Progress threads when you're creating stuff like this, so others can see how you make your own rings. :cool

Since these are clearly painted with metallic paints, what's your latest technique for preserving the finish as long as possible? Have you experimented with applying a layer of clear nail polish yet? I've heard that may actually work better than the typical clear coat! :lol
 
I'm new here, and I'm a film student, one of the projects I'm trying to do is an origin of the golden age flash and green lantern (separately of course) what I'm really looking for though is someone who can help me find a good Alan Scott power battery. I'm not made of money so I can't really buy the 300-500$ dc direct one, but I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction?
