Given the fact that the new Green Lantern movie is about to debut, we
thought it was appropriate to take a look back and see what made the
franchise so great. What kept it so fresh for decade after decade? A DC
Comics powerhouse, the Green Lantern franchise debuted in 1940. That’s
some serious roots in the world of comics. What we love about the appeal
of the Green Lantern storylines is that the powers are derived from
special rings. You aren’t born with special abilities, you just need the
ring. Can’t you just imagine slipping one of those bad boys on? Now
that’s some serious bling! Excuse us, while we suppress our power hunger
right about now.
After the original story of the Green Lantern, which was the legendary
Alan Scott character, the Green Lantern story evolved into many rings.
That helped create the room for more characters and more complex
storylines. It was a smart move and helped the franchise survive the
1950's, 60's and 70's. It helped shape and give birth to the richly
detailed world of the Green lantern.
To us, more recently, the best thing to happen to the franchise was the
Blackest Night storyline. You have a superb mixture of characters from
many DC franchises mixing it up. Some alive, some dead, some resurrected
good guys becoming bad guys and vice versa. It’s awesome. Ever want to
see an evil Superman? A rotten Batman? A Lex Luthor trying to help? It’s
a fantastic storyline and helped to renew the Green Lantern franchise
for another generation. Plus, it gave birth to waves of figures that
were unique and interesting. Here’s a quick look:
Will the movie do the Green lantern justice? Who knows. We certainly
hope so. At least the stories are on the path to success with the recent
Green Lantern Brightest Day series gaining steam. So here’s to Alan
Scott, Hal Jordan and Guy Gardner – Green Lanterns.

These about 7cm large German toy soldiers must be from about 1915. I bought them together with Elastolin 10cm soldiers from this time. They have no manufacturer sign. Who knows the manufacturer?
