Emerald Twilight was one of those stories that really stuck with me from my youth. I can’t wait to get this guy.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Yeah, that story was my introduction to Hal Jordan, so I have been very excited for it.

[@G3N-0F-D00M]

Greatest Hal Jordan Era

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Agreed! And then that brought us to Kyle, who was my Lantern growing up.

[@Mickylitman]

He actually looks pretty good, I’m more excited for knightfall batman tho

[@5POAFigureReviews]

I am pretty excited for that one too

[@tilghman5237]

Give us a room tour I like your set up as for the figure it’s not bad not quite comic accurate enough for this fan boy

[@5POAFigureReviews]

I've had a lot of requests for that and want to. The challenge is that all the comparisons I do always keeps my displays in shambles. I really need to dedicate some time to reorganizing everything, but this would be a good motivation to do that.

[@RandomRamblings86]

I feel like the hair should be brown instead of black, with grey only on the sides and not the back. The lantern and hands also shouldn't be translucent.

[@glennjthompson332]

🤔It needs a( Re-paint) for the hair. Always look back in the comics.😉

[@5POAFigureReviews]

It's definitely a dark brown moreso than black, but it could be lighter for sure.

[@chancylvania]

Yay more lanterns. Bring ‘em on. I’ll take all the lantern stuff I can get. I’ve been wearing a sinestro/ GL ring ever for like 9 years now.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

That's really awesome. I'm personally hoping for 90's Kyle, a more classic Hal than the two pack version, and a Kilowog.

[@chancylvania]

@@5POAFigureReviews sinestro, larfleez, saint walker, arkillo…the list goes on! I got interested in GL cause of the new 52. I was too young when the og DCU classics green lantern figs came out.

[@superUniversalfilms]

Your so close, your gonna reach 4k subs Keep collecting 👍👌

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Thanks so much! It's really exciting.

[@petefischer3820]

The gray in the temples missing keeps me from fully deciding to get this figure. Your review almost sells me.... If I see him in the wild, we will see. Thank you!

[@5POAFigureReviews]

You're very welcome. If you see him in the wild, I feel you will be pretty impressed.

[@BatteryDiet]

Wow! He looks stunning!

[@5POAFigureReviews]

for sure in my top 5 of the year so far

[@fernandodelgado4329]

I might pick him but to me, I really want to get my 3 favorite Green Lanterns which are Hal Jordan, Jon Stewart, and Kyle Rayner because those 3 look awesome as a trio to save our planet from Sinestro and Atrocitous, Fantastic review Jason.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Thanks so much, Fernando.

[@collinpetrosino489]

We just needddd a Sinestro now

[@tinymclarge9158]

loooove your review format and channel. subbed

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Thanks so much!

[@ThreeLegsTheBandit]

That's a nice figure,think I'll buy that but I'd love to see a McFarlane DC Green Lantern Kilowog megafig. Great review as always bro.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Thanks so much. Yeah, a Kilowog would be awesome!

[@AngelosCollectibles]

Great reviews as always Jason 💯👍

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Thanks Angelo!

[@AngelosCollectibles]

@@5POAFigureReviews Np Jason 👍

[@motor1841]

Great review and I'm still looking for this figure too, I'm loving the Green Lantern figures McFarlane is putting out. I'm not a fan of the color change tho, the Jordan and Stewart figures have the right color of green in my mind. As for finding this guy, I haven't seen him yet here on the west coast - it maybe that I already missed him here.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Thanks so much. I hope at some point they can just settle on a green and stick with it.

[@sebastianleroux5169]

Yoooooo this figure is bad azz

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Yeah, I love it.

[@ayan31_08]

McFarlane really is stepping up their game. I love that they are done with that big bad balls

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Not quite done. Page Punchers Superman has them on the wrists, but they are def on their way out.

[@ayan31_08]

@@5POAFigureReviews yes

[@mr.steele606]

Another completely awesome review. Parallax is my favorite DC character so why did it have to be a Walmart exclusive? I've ransacked and combed thru 8 Walmarts with no luck luck yet. So far I'm standing strong against the unscrupulous secondary market jackals but I have to tell you, it's killing me.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Official Facebook said he will be available on Walmart.com soon so don't lose hope!

[@edrianraneses5864]

BTW are you also gonna review the earth 2 batman Thomas wayne figure soon after you're done with the batman hush blue and gray variant figure reviewing?

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Who knows, if Earth 2 arrives before Hush I may even review it first lol

[@nostrem82]

never really been a lantern fan but that is a pretty good looking figure. my biggest thing is the lack of grey on the temples otherwise very nice 🤘

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Yeah he's not 100% but I'm really happy.

[@fernandodelgado4329]

Also, I would love to see a more classic Hal Jordan Green Lantern with the awesome looking Dawnbreaker 2 pack Hal Jordan head sculpt as single release along with 2 fisted hands and some constructs from McFarlane.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

The new Booster Gold and Blue Beetle make me hopeful we will start seeing more classic versions of characters.

[@masonp.7568]

Great figure dude,also someone is making spam in the comments,from 18+ sites

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Yeah, just reported them. I get a few on every video unfortunately.

[@masonp.7568]

@@5POAFigureReviews yeah,that kinda sucks,but it doesnt matter love your vids

[@Hilltopperpete]

This is an awesome-looking figure! I don't love the look of the stylized mid-ribcage cut though, it really should be under the pecs to hide under the armor better. It's like McFarlane's new "Bucky Cap" body mold. If it fits the sculpt, that's fine, but with a plain torso, it just breaks up the sculpt too much and doesn't provide enough articulation to make it worthwhile.

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Yeah, I have a real love/hate relationship with the diaphragm joints.

[@greggiovanni4788]

Hey man never pay for any Walmart exclusive on the secondary market I work at Walmart and you can't find something holler at me

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Will do, thanks!

[@greggiovanni4788]

Yes sir 👍

[@joelamel8056]

Probably shouldn't have opened that 😮

[@5POAFigureReviews]

I just wish I opened it more carefully. The twist tie thing is what chipped the paint

[@SeanBeanie4191]

Are we entering McFarlane’s green lantern phase?

[@5POAFigureReviews]

I sure hope so!

[@JBTMR]

Jason did you buy this on EBay

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Overpaid on eBay lol

[@JBTMR]

@@5POAFigureReviews I thot so lol what was the damage

[@joelamel8056]

Rigamarole done 👍

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Thanks Joe!

[@SlowShipCustoms]

I can fix those paint chips for you if you'd like!

[@5POAFigureReviews]

I appreciate but it's an easy enough touch up. I'll remember you for the future though!

[@sskywarpe]

Umm... anybody notice how he has Todd McFarlane's face...?! Is this on purpose, or did someone sneak something by...?

[@5POAFigureReviews]

I realized it in editing after it was too late to reshoot any of it. Especially after I called him wrinkled and haggard lol

[@sskywarpe]

@@5POAFigureReviews HA!! Guess we can stop holding our breaths for an interview 😂 Now I'm just curious if it was snuck out as spiteful or he WANTED to be Hal

[@Kynreevez]

I love the format, but you should be harsher. I.E. giving out 0 points in categories instead of 0.5. Seems like 90% of your reviews end in 4.5/5s

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Fair point. Part of it is that I mostly only buy figures I want, so I get a lot fewer duds than reviewers who do everything. Still, always looking for that sweet spot between being fair and being generous.

[@obi-onekenerdi]

A character that isn’t Batman or Batman adjacent????? What???

[@5POAFigureReviews]

I know, right??

[@RegularTrent]

NOOOO, YOU OPENED THAT FIGURE AND NOW YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO RESELL IT AND LIVE OFF THE PROCEEDS

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Nah, that's what my extra Haslab Galactus is for hahaha

[@bonesandthenecrozoo]

Feeding the scalpers..... admirable but mistaken.....💀

[@5POAFigureReviews]

Yeah. Luckily, I sold a bunch of BAF pieces earlier in the day so it really only cost me $23 out of pocket, which is pretty much retail. That's how I justified it anyway lol

[@andrepaul3483]

The reason why Wanda was justified is because she's GORGEOUS lol

[@5POAFigureReviews]

No arguments here!

[@alejandrocaracciolo5975]

The painting of this figure detracts so much from the source material, that for me it becomes a complete deal breaker. 1- It doesn''t have the white stripes of the arms, which shows very little attention to detail. 2 - It's the wrong shade of green, Too dull, should be brighter. 3- It lacks the graying (much closer to white) at the temples. What it has, is barely perceptible. 4- The cape lacks the pattern with the circles at the end. Check the cape in any stories from the 90s, Emerald Twilight, Zero Hour, Final NIght. Why not paint that? It's a shame, because it's a character I so want a figure of, but I'm not willing to try my hand at painting it. I just shouldn't have to. Also, it should be taller. Very disappointed. NOT buying it.
