Every year there is that one San Diego Comic-Con exclusive that the minute I see it The Blot knows I have to have it. This year, that exclusive is the Diamond Comics x Medicom Green Lantern Movie 100% Light-Up Lantern Be@rbrick. While the idea of a Green Lantern “Lantern” Be@rbick that actually lights up is cool, what makes this a must buy for The Blot is its packaging! If you don’t recognize this 100% Be@rbrick’s blister card packaging, it is modeled after Kenner’s 1980s Super Powers Collection toy line.
The Super Powers Collection was one of my favorite toy lines as a little kid, but sadly it only lasted three waves (34 figures in all). While DC Comics’ Super Powers action figures don’t hold up well compared to toys of today, nothing beats its iconic packaging. Something about those colors and stars just screams DC Comics to me.
The San Diego Comic-Con 2011 Exclusive Green Lantern Light-Up Lantern 100% Be@rbrick has a limited edition run size of 1,500 figures and will retail for $16.99. Drop by PREVIEWS/Diamond’s SDCC booth #2401 to receive a listing of Diamond retailers that will be selling this awesome figure at Comic-Con.
