Product Information

This DC Direct Green Lantern action figure set is based on the DC Comics series "Green Lantern: Rebirth." In the series, Hal Jordan, the Green Lantern, battles and defeats the Parallax Entity. If the Green Lantern fails, Parallax will consume him. This set includes action figures of both the Green Lantern and Sinestro. The DC Direct package also contains the paperback of "Green Lantern: Rebirth" by Geoff Johns and Ethan Van Sciver. The collector's paperback book is 192 pages long and contains the collected Green Lantern rebirth comics. Geoff Johns is responsible for the story of Green Lantern's rebirth. He had to create a way that Hal Jordan could return after sacrificing his soul to reignite the sun. Johns also had to overcome the things Jordan had done before his death. Johns rebooted the story and experiences of Hal Jordan, bringing a younger, hipper hero to the forefront in the series. All the artwork in the graphic novel that accompanies the action figures was done by Ethan Van Sciver. His graphics are realistic, crisp, and expressive. Accompanied by Johns' story, the artwork flows easily from one page to the next. All the art is brightly colored with eerie shadows and an always present green light. Together, Van Sciver and Johns created a graphic novel that epitomizes the greatness of DC Comics series of superhero tales. Both the Green Lantern and Sinestro action figures in the DC Direct set are featured wearing their signature green suits and masks. Both action figures also have their green Power Rings, which allow them to overcome great fear. Each collectible action figure stands at 6.75-inches tall and has movable arms and legs. Movable parts allow you to create animated poses that might be used to battle the Parallax Entity from the comic. This DC Direct Green Lantern Rebirth action figure collector's set is recommended for ages 8 and up. From kids to adults, any Green Lantern collector or casual superhero fan can appreciate these figures' sculpting and re-enact their adventures. When Hal lost everything important to him, the Parallax was allowed into his consciousness through his power ring. Parallax is an ancient monster and the physical embodiment of fear. Although Jordan was born without fear, the Parallax was too great and took over his embodiment. As the Parallax, he lost his mind, murdered his fellow Green Lantern Corps members, and rampaged the Earth with evil. Sinestro is the sometimes foe, sometimes enemy of Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps. After the Dark Knight series where Jordan and Sinestro retired, Sinestro quickly came back to Earth to reclaim his past. Sinestro plays an important role in Jordan's ability to reclaim the trust of others, including the Justice League. Now, Hal has been reborn as the Green Lantern once more. After everything he has done, he must work harder than ever to prove he has healed. Only time will tell if the Green Lantern can reclaim his position as the greatest DC Comic hero and put history, the Parallax, and Sinestro behind him. You can commemorate this exciting DC Comics story with the Hal Jordan and Sinestro action figures in this DC Direct collectible set.
