They’ve finally managed to produce a Kyle Rayner Green Lantern action figure that doesn’t suck. Check it out. Admittedly, this figure is more muscle-bound than Kyle truly is. Y’know what? It doesn’t matter, this figure just looks awesome! The previous Kyle figures have been very disappointing. Click here to see a few of the previous […]

There will be some available for purchase online around the same time, but I expect they will sell out […]
