So while Hal Jordan does exist, he never got a Green Lantern ring: a Star Sapphire ring came to Earth, with a GL ring close behind; the pink ring found Carol Ferris first, and she punched her copilot, Hal, causing their plane to veer and the green ring to ping off its hull, careening into Los Angeles' Chavez Ravine. Police officer Jessica Cruz saw the crash and went to investigate, and so she became Earth's first Green Lantern.<\/p>\n<p>Jessica was still a fairly new character <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/funko_dcbsmm1_gl2.jpg\" title=\"original art\" width=\"210\" height=\"335\" align=left style=\"margin:0px 5px\">when <i>Bombshells<\/i> opted to tackle her, meaning she didn't have much of a personality for them to base her design on, so after <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/funko_dcbsmm1_gl3.jpg\">a few unsatisfying attempts<\/a>, Ant Lucia and art director Brian Walters went back to the fundamental idea behind the Green Lantern Corps, that they were space-cops. She's wearing a uniform that appears to be based on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/yo\/dcuc_gll.php\">Guy Gardner's<\/a> \"jacket and boots\" look, with a tiny police cap on top of her head. A pair of bright green ring construct handcuffs hang from her belt, and she's made a \"Go\" sign with her ring. She's holding her lantern out in her left hand, and it's designed like an old-fashioned traffic light. Clever!<\/p>\n<p>Green Lantern is a Specialty Series exclusive, so she was only available in cases that went to places like your local comicshop. As with the other two, she's available in a 1:12 ratio.<\/p>\n<div class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Posts\"><H5>&lt;i&gt;And now, some more OAFEry:&lt;\/i&gt;<\/H5><ul class=\"entry-meta\"><li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Green Lantern vs. Predator addendum\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2021\/02\/green-lantern-vs-predator-addendum\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Green Lantern vs. Predator addendum<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Deadpool Nerdy 30 Mystery Minis - Sherlock Deadpool review\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2024\/10\/deadpool-nerdy-30-mystery-minis-sherlock-deadpool-review\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Deadpool Nerdy 30 Mystery Minis - Sherlock Deadpool review<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Blackest Night Hal\/Sinestro addendum\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2011\/04\/blackest-night-halsinestro-addendum\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Blackest Night Hal\/Sinestro addendum<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Soon Forget: Horror Classics Mystery Minis Series 3\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2020\/10\/soon-forget-horror-classics-mystery-minis-series-3\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Soon Forget: Horror Classics Mystery Minis Series 3<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"ATFC '12 - Day 2: Mattel\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2012\/02\/atfc-12-day-2-mattel\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">ATFC '12 - Day 2: Mattel<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&lt;i&gt;And now, some more OAFEry:&lt;\/i&gt;Walking Dead Mystery Minis: T-Dog (In Memorium) review Mad Max: Fury Road Mystery Minis - Immortan Joe review Rustin's Spoils of the Week #19 Rustin's Spoils of the Week #143 Science Fiction Mystery Minis - Bender &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2021\/06\/dc-bombshells-mystery-minis-green-lantern-exclusive-review\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,27,250],"tags":[375,90,291],"class_list":["post-38151","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog-exclusive-review","category-dc","category-funko","tag-bombshells","tag-green-lantern","tag-mystery-minis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38151","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=38151"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38151\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":38160,"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38151\/revisions\/38160"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38151"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=38151"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=38151"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
