Green Lantern Movie Ring

So I take it no one's seen the DC Direct version in person? The promo pics look great.

Snapped pics of these at Wondercon. It looked like a really solid looking replica.

That's awesome looking. Sucks the price tag is so high. Looks like they made the ring it comes with wearable.
 
That's not bad looking lantern... Close the real ones. Not sure were the real two are now...
 
What's up with the adjustable band on the DC direct replica? Looks really nice though.

It's a tradition at DC Direct to give the rings packaged with the power battery props a "one size fits most" design. Only the metal JLA Trophy Room Green Lantern Power Battery Prop had a metal ring molded in only one size (a "perfect" size 10, the same size I wear! :)) and all others have had a "one size fits most" ring, usually made out of PVC.
 
Yeah, but I would think this would be in a different category from the regular lantern replicas since this is a movie replica. The adjustable band on the other ring replicas is justifiable because they are designed to look like the rings from the comic but have no tangible reference item.

True. But then again, the movie ring is SUPPOSED to be a size 10½, and DC Direct got that wrong, too. :rolleyes
 
Doh! This is a tricky one. It appears the ring is the promo ring with the adjustable band. DC direct usually does such perfect replicas (i.e. Guy Fawkes mask)

Well, keep in mind, they're also releasing a ring by itself that's supposed to be more accurate (but is still 2½ sizes too large compared to the movie prop.) And again, DC Direct generally likes to package "one size fits most" rings in with the power battery props. It's just kinda their thing. :)
 
Right. As always, it might just take shelling out for one of these to see for myself.
I pre-ordered mine from Discount Comic Book Service last month when it was solicited in Previews, along with 2 of the Power Ring Props that are being sold separately! Got them all for 32% off of DC Direct's MSRP that way! :)

My thinking was that the Power Ring Prop being sold by itself is likely to be the better, more accurate version. And DC Direct hadn't given us much of a look at the ring included with the Power Battery Prop at that point. So I ordered both. That way, if the one with the Power Battery Prop was a piece of crap, I could display it with the other one. ;):thumbsup
 
Sounds like the power battery one is kind of like the toy where the ring has a mechanism to light the lantern- hence unwearable.

I don't even think this movie will be very good but I love the ring.
 
Looks like they are almost gone! I got 2732 & 2733 of 2814...

ORDER FAST if you want one! :love
That doesn't actually mean anything, as all along, they've been shipping out in completely random order, so there's no telling how many are left.

Just the other day, someone on the Green Lantern Corps Message Board received # 2813 (Tomar-Re's Sector.) ;)


I was hoping that I'd manage somehow to get my hands on # 0017 (Jack T. Chance's Sector) but whoever received it, they haven't turned up. :unsure
