Kilowog Up Close

Bleeding Cool has scans of the movie preview in the latest issue of Green Lantern. You can see from this newer image that Kilowog has been given much more detail than older models of the character. He has that rugged look that you would expect from a drill sergeant for the Corps. The peach fuzz on top of the head and scruffy facial hair on the chin is a nice touch.

Green Lantern's Light

This is another video from Toy Fair. Its features a 12" Hal Jordan that lights up and repeats the Green Lantern oath. Waving the power ring in front of him causes four different light patterns on his body. Other than the Movie Master series, this one may be my personal favorite. It's good to see they have incorporated the living suit idea into the action figures.

Blog of Oa has a short video of WB's visit to the Green Lantern Booth from Toy Fair. Check it out below!

Rise Of The Manhunters Game Trailer

The Manhunters are an android race, originally created by the Guardians of the Universe to serve as the first interstellar police force. The Manhunters became more obsessed with administering punishment than serving justice, forcing the Guardians to dissolve their ranks. The few Manhunters that survived fled into exile and the Guardians founded a new elite police force called the Green Lantern Corps and armed its members with specially crafted power rings. Now the Manhunters are back and out for revenge, readying their forces for a war against the Guardians and the Green Lantern Corps. Faced with destruction, the Corps is looking to you as the newest recruit, gifted but cocky test pilot Hal Jordon, to protect peace and preserve justice. Building on the anticipation of Warner Bros.' feature film Green Lantern, in theaters June 17, 2011, Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters includes the likeness and voice talent of Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan, who is the star of the upcoming motion picture.

This is one of the most impressive game trailers loosely attached from a movie that I've seen yet. The action looks intense and the various constructs are going to be fun to control. We finally hear Kilowog's voice but I'm unsure if its the same voicing as the film itself.

DC Direct Green Lantern Waves 5 And 6 Announced

The Blackest Night series of action figures has finally come to a close and it looks like DC Direct is getting right back on track with new waves of Lantern figures. The set pictured above is Wave 6 and has the extremely awesome Red Lantern Guy Gardner with a chainsaw construct. I'm especially excited to see that figure and Blue Lantern Warth make the figure line. Thanks to Blog of Oa for the images.

Green Lantern Movie Action Figures

Pietro Filipponi over at Daily Blam has been lighting the web up with Green Lantern goodies from Toy Fair all day. Galius Zed, Krona, and Voz are all included in the Movie Masters set and it looks like each figure comes with a power ring as well. I think I will let the images do most of the talking in this one, the figures look fantastic. Hit the link above to few all the products.

Emerald Knights Cover Art

After getting some of the cast revealed last week with a new image from the animated feature, Emerald Knights boasts its cover art from Toy Fair. I feel like this one is going to be much more memorable than the last Green Lantern animated movie First Flight. The origin of Hal is probably skipped over to focus on all these other great characters who deservingly get a little of the spot light.

Daily Blam also has new images of the Sinestro maquette based from Emerald Knights.

Rubies Green Lantern Merchandise

Rubies has revealed more of their Green Lantern related merchandise for this year. Coming in the form of image scans for their catalog, we see better versions of the horrendous masks released last week. Kids get to use the Hulk Hands once again but this time as Hal's fist construct. The Lantern candy buckets are pretty sweet and the one that lights up lends itself perfectly for children's safety for Halloween night. The best thing I've seen so far is the Sinestro makeup kit. This would be worth buying as the wearer doesn't rely on a badly sculpted mask. Hector Hammond makeup kit on the other hand is yet another laughable product. Lets see a Tomar-Re makeup kit and I've found my look for 2011.

New Image of Sinestro

Comic Book Movie has posted up a new poster from Toy Fair and we finally get a new glimpse of Sinestro. It isn't much of a reveal but something to get us through until the next trailer. An image of Corps member Norchavius (below) is up as well but there is a dramatic redesign from his comic form.
