They did a great job capturing Neal Adams&#8217; Green Arrow.\u00a0 The figure stands about six inches high and includes a boxing glove arrow, a drill arrow, and a handcuff arrow.\u00a0 Love it!\u00a0 Without a doubt this is my favorite Green Arrow action figure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Green Arrow Hard Traveling Heroes action figure\" src=\"http:\/\/onceuponageek.com\/images\/ga_hth.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"631\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The classic Green Arrow action figure below came out in 1999.\u00a0 It was in the <em>DC Super Heroes Silver Age Collection<\/em>, and was designed to emulate the classic Mego style.\u00a0 He stands about nine inches tall.<\/p>\n<p

width=\"400\" height=\"639\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The Connor Hawke Green Arrow figure below also came out in 1999 as part of the <em>Total Justice <\/em> line of action figures.\u00a0 He stands nearly five inches tall.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Green

isn&#8217;t really an action figure, it&#8217;s a posed PVC piece of Green Arrow.\u00a0 It&#8217;s from the DC Direct <em>Justice League of America PVC Set<\/em>.\u00a0 He stands about four inches high.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Green Arrow from JLA PVC Set\"

stands nearly two inches high.\u00a0 I purchased it in 2003 while at DragonCon and got Judd Winick to sign it (he was the writer of the <em>Green Arrow<\/em> comic).\u00a0 In my own defense, I didn&#8217;t realize what a tool he was at the time.\u00a0 It was actually during that convention when I realized it.\u00a0 Cool looking Heroclix though.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img
