His boot printing would’ve looked a lot better if the effect was a lot more subtle.įrom the back Green Lantern has your prerequisite back printing with small bits of muscle definition, which is par for the course when it comes to licensed minifigures. The pointy triangular tip which is supposed to be his boots is a little too high up in my opinion and makes the minifigure look unbalanced. The only thing I really dislike about Green Lantern is his leg printing. He’s decked out in his New 52 outfit which looks great and has a huge confident, almost cocky grin that is a trademark of Hal Jordan. Green Lantern is everything that I had hoped for. A DC superhero minifig that has been on the wishlists of pretty much every LEGO fan is now finally available in an affordable LEGO set. Here’s Hal Jordan, better known as the Green Lantern. The Justice League subtheme is a very welcome sign from DC that they too can flex their muscles and call upon their own massive library of comic characters and villains to go toe to toe against Marvel’s LEGO offerings. This is a really solid lineup, you have Batman in a novelty (but still very cool) Batsuit, the long-awaited Green Lantern and a classic villain. Alongside the two core Justice League members is ex-Green Lantern and chief nemesis of Hal Jordan, Sinestro. Despite Green Lantern being the star of the set, Batman still manages to sneak himself into the set – to prevent Green Lantern from stealing all the limelight. The lineup for Green Lantern vs Sinestro is absolutely brilliant. No need to pretend, it’s an open secret that people only buy Super Heroes sets for the minifigures – at least that’s why I buy them 🙂 Let’s get into the only reason why Super Heroes sets exist – the minifigures. More on the SUPER JUMPER (yes, I’m using all caps everytime I refer to it) later on in the review – but here’s an early warning. There’s also an illustrated Space Batman being launched into the air by a (NEW!) SUPER JUMPER, which is a new but nasty play feature that they’ve added to the DC sets. There are some nice embellishments such as some Justice League members (minus Martian Manhunter and Hawkman) on the top right corner looking all cool and smug, as well as a Justice League logo on the bottom bar. I’m a fan of the new Box Art, it has a very comic-booky feel to it and the set’s components are presented quite well with Green Lantern and Space Batman (love that this is his actual name) going ham on a poor, almost defenceless Sinestro on some asteroid in outer space. It joins luminaries such as 6862 Superman vs Lex Power Armour, 76000 Arctic Batman vs Mr Freeze and 6866 Wolverine’s Chopper Showdown. The $40 Super Heroes sets belong to a very distinguished alumni of sets that pack tremendous value at very affordable price points. Unlike previous waves, this year’s Justice League theme did away with the smaller $20 set, so Green Lantern vs Sinestro is the smallest set that you can buy this time around. Finally, after years of waiting we’re able to get a Green Lantern in an affordable, retail set.

Prior to this, the only way to obtain a Hal Jordan minifigure was to blow about $400 on the 2011 Comic Con exclusive, which believe it or not, is a huge impediment for those of us with budgets and bills to pay. There’s only one real reason behind all the hype f0r this set – a Green Lantern minifigure. Instructions: LEGO 76025 Green Lantern vs Sinestro Price: AU$39.99 (Buy from ) ( Barnes & Noble) I’ve chosen to review perhaps the most anticipated set out of the bunch – 76025 Green Lantern vs Sinestro. I’m a huge fan of DC Comics (yes, I like them more than Marvel) so this entire theme was a dream come true since I’m finally able to assemble the entire Justice League. Not content with doing things half-arsed, LEGO decided to give us a spectacular lineup of sets featuring fan favourite heroes from the Justice League and their associated villains. The Justice League sub-theme is based on DC’s New 52, a major reboot of their entire line of comic books following the events of Flashpoint. It seems that LEGO finally clued on to the fact that LEGO fans actually like other non-Batman superheroes from the DC Universe. 3) Green Lantern Corps (Vol.Welcome to February! This month on the blog, we’re going to go hard and heavy on Super Heroes, specifically the new wave of DC Super Heroes Justice League sets.
