Chunk style looks cool.
LOL for attitude... YES
I can see minor differences (other then the adding of the color) in the Movie ring to the one you showed, but it most assuredly appears to be based off that one.

THAT's the one.

That's interesting. Its very similar to the movie rings, but is still different.
What I don't get is why the Movie Companies and Prop companies weren't selling those rings at Comic-Con.
Why wait until the movies comes out?
Wouldn't it be better now?
If you are GL fan and they offered the ring now, you'd buy it. If you hate the movie after it's out you won't.
They need to learn to release this stuff in advance if it's something with a built in audience.

The ring looks like it is made from crystal - not actually made with crystal, but made to LOOK like that. Organic, just like the costume. At least, thats how it looks from that coimicon pic - though blurry, it looks like it has a translucency like glass or something.
I'm all for a replica of this ring - I'm hoping the license holder will go to the source and have the master made from an original - and lets really hope they do multiple sizes! I just ordered the DC Direct Honor Guard ring which only comes in a size 11 (or 12?) and is advetised as 'display' only.
Who wants a GL ring that they can't wear??

That's a good one... I'll take a single crystal metal ring please.
I would consider making them from translucent green acrylic with a LED to make it glow. I just finished designing a new tiny LED circuit board for this very purpose.

Just as I was dusting off the old soldering iron... you beat me to it.
What you're talking about sounds perfect. I was thinking something pressurized in the ring cavity somewhere. Question for you; how fragile would the ring be if designed in acrylic that includes electronics, in your opinion?
I have that ring, bought it from a rpf member who was a jeweler
he made them from sterling silver painted them green.

I think it would hold up pretty well. You can also polish acrylic if it gets scratched.
The way I have it designed so far is it's made from multiple sections of laser cut acrylic, but this was for an older style Hal ring. There's a small PCB with green LEDs and a watch battery that is spring loaded so it turns on when you put it on your finger. I'm still working out the details so we'll see how it goes.
Making the new movie ring would be much harder. You would have to machine it from a single large block and have an insert for the top section. I'd imagine casting it in a green tinted urethane would be much easier.
