Reynolds, Lively and Strong should imprint their shoes there.

Reposted: "I heard that 'Toys "R" Us' are already selling the Green Lantern movie action figures (the movie masters and 4" action figures) as of this morning, they were spotted in Indianapolis, Indiana."

Thanagar and Takron-Galtos being mentioned made me smile.

Interesting that they use Illuminati elements for the symbol.

I think the Oa scenes are going to be great. I just hope the Earth scenes can hold up to them.

That's so cool, they even put it in an Alien language.

Saw a lot of Green Lantern (comic) toys at Wal Mart today. That's probably the best marketing out there.

 

[BigThor]

lets be happy that they are not promoting it like Thor. is Thor a female comedy? hehehhehehehe

Seriously?

That is Arabic, not alien font

 

[Octoberist]

Intentional or not this is a great post.

 

[Brian Braddock]

His feet are pretty friggin weird. What, the magic ring can't make it look like you have shoes on?

Other than that it's awesome.

The feet are weird, boots would have looked better. Its also kinda weird that they gave him little baby toes lol.

 

[dnno1]

It's a very literal adaptation of a superhero costume (like second skin). You could virtually wear regular civies over it and no one would notice you had your supersuit on under it (just like in the comics).

^ I hear ya... but couldn't he at least have some soles? He looks like a skinny-ass Hulk!

What for? The ring protects him so his soles are virtually indestructible.

Yeah, but you think his ego would force him to modify the suit so he didn't look so much like a naked green and black guy. His feet look like those new running shoes with the toes (i.e., weird). The rest looks pretty cool.

Fair enough but it just looks weird. It most likely won't be noticable in motion, its just an odd concept. If we see his toes, why not his junk?

 

[Breogan]

It's pretty much a hard-light "skin". Are people still being surprised by this?

I hope Sinestro who is generating a full uniform, straight up laughs at Jordan for being essentially naked!

They're saving that fot the porn version

 

[spark627]

It's pretty much a hard-light "skin". Ar people still not getting that?

I get that but it is still weird, for example, his hand look glove-ish. You don't see his finger nails but you see his toe nails? Weird, but whatever, his feet are the least of my concerns (that would be Blake Lively)

 

[Breogan]

So he can overcompensate with this ...

I agree the toes look freaky! But we already saw that clearly in the game cut scenes, not sure why it's so surprising now? http://lax.forums.superherohype.com/showpost.php?p=19717295&postcount=48

Gloves are shown pretty thin skinned too.

 

[The Sage]

Wow, no boots? Weird.
