Cool Lantern Ring Display


Although I am not happy with the gruesome nature of the Black Lanterns in DC's Blackest Night story line (comics don't need to include the killing of innocent families and a suicide to cement a villans evil street cred) I would totally buy this $250 display piece featuring all the colored lantern rings. I already have the green lantern one but unfortunately it doesn't light up like you would want it to. But how can I resist anything under bubble glass? Its a sickness.

"An age-old prophecy foretold the coming of the Blackest Night, and the war of light between the emotional spectrum! The Green Lantern and (yellow) Sinestro Corps are confronted by the Red Lanterns, Agent Orange, the Blue Lanterns, the mysterious Indigo Lanterns, the (violet) Star Sapphires and, ultimately, the Black Lantern Corps. Now, for the first time ever, all of these Power Rings are collected together in one spectacular display! Eight plated metal rings (each a different color, signifying the insignia of the various Corps) fit into a battery-operated, light-up resin display base. The rings are protected by a removable glass dome that sits on top of the base. This special prop replica is linked to the highly anticipated "Blackest Night" storyline! This mixed-media, hand-painted, limited-edition piece measures approximately 8" high x 5.5" wide x 5.5" deep and is packaged in a 4-color box, along with a 4-color Certificate of Authenticity and an instruction sheet. Batteries are also included. Manufactured to order."

Not me. They aren't getting a red cent from me with all this "Blackest Night" crap.

the rings look like cheap plastic ones you'd get out of cereal boxes...

Cool? That looks like the tackiest, sub-Franklin Mint, piece of crap DC Direct have ever released.
