Before I start this post, I’d like to introduce myself. My name is Cethin Amoux- Well, thats my online name, anyway. But either way, I’m one of the new writers here. I hope to bring you the best news updates that I can!
This does contain spoilers for the new Legion of Collectors box. If you don’t want to be spoiled, I suggest leaving.
Now, the White Lantern series is an Idea that Funko has continued for about two years now, all exclusive to Fugitive Toys at Conventions, either NYCC or SDCC. Now, I never used to be a fan of these. Back then, I just saw them as reprints, I never even knew the term “White Lantern” was even official in the DC Universe. But with the new addition of Firestorm, myself, and probably many others, are becoming fans of it.
Each White Lantern Pop has a normal variant, and a Glow In The Dark. Each Glowing one has a unique part of their body glowing. For example, Wonder Woman’s tiara and clothes glow, and Firestorm’s arms and the Flames on top glow. The normal and glow ones have a unique symbol representing the White Lantern series, almost like a diamond thats shining the light in multiple directions. All of the silver on the body has a noticably metallic finish on it, too.
There has also been some “remakes” of this series, but haven’t been successful as much. The Blue Lantern Flash is an example of that, with its normal and metallic variant. Another one is the Star Sapphire Wonder Woman, which also has a metallic variant.
Now, this series has a large potential. Hawkman would be a great one. Green Lantern. The original Batgirl. All of these great classics would be amazing for this series, even with the new addition of Hawkgirl in the Legion of Collectors box. I’d love to see Funko continue this series in the years to come. Which one is your favorite?
