I was in a Toy Store the other day and saw the new GREEN LANTERN Movie toys... could the Parallax design be any lamer?
It looks like something out of HOWARD THE DUCK...
Awhile back there was a "leaked" image floating around that was allegedly the movie Parallax design...
I find this much better... albeit unimaginaitive (deep sea creature!).
Although, to be fair....
the COMIC design of Parallax is pretty lame, too:

(Hal would never make a GUN construct... would he?)

I wouldn't judge the design by the figures. They have pretty crappy sculpts, which is sad because Marvel has been knocking thiers out of the park. One interesting feature is that the Parallax can absorb a smaller lantern figure into his chest, which looks more like the lantern is controlling it, possibly hinting at evil Hal or Sinestro.
True, however it seems to look very similar in the small glimpse we see in the trailer.
I always thought that Howard the Duck creature looked cool
Which is one of many reasons why I love you.
I thought the same thing about the gun construct. I never made the connection between Parallax with the Howard the Duck creature, but kudos for pointing that out! You sir are a true geek.
Here are two more images of Parallax toys from the adult collectible line. It still looks like poop.

It looks like it's already been fried in batter.
I read this post's title and this immediately popped into my head:
So this is Parallax,
and what have they done?
Another lame redesign,
and GL with a gun?!?!*
*sung to the tune of 'So this is Christmas' by John Lennon
He'd never make a gun construct? Tell that to Jim Lee, because the promo image for DC's September reboot included Hal Jordan with not only a minigun, but a four-barrel wrist gun.

Yeah, I saw that... (stupid, lame reboot!)
I guess Jim Lee is following Hollywood's lead.
Hal doesn't make gun constructs. Even if its Jim Lee drawing it. :)
hey Bains,..just bc the reeboot ( which hasn't happened yet,..hence future tense..) shows him with a gun does not signify that he has in the past. it's a lame reeboot to boost sales,..and cater to Hollywood.
:)
i saw that figure and LOVED it! i showed my wife and she, being a lover of the killer figs they make nowadays, goes, "oh, wow, that's kinda fucked up and gross! i like it!"
...helps that we are fans of creepy & "too realistic/hardcore/etc for little kids but made for that demographic" toys. lol
for the crappy sculpts nowadays (INDEED!), that one & what it does and all that is pretty cool in my mind.
never been as big of a fan of GL as many apparently are, despite not being a "Marvel Snob", but i don't really hate/love the gun thing, despite knowing enough about that character to know it's kinda not right.
anyway, admit it, you loved playing w/ that Parallax fig and imagined it eating and puking out all kinds of figs from G.I. Joes to... well, anything else you want to see eaten by that deep-fried plastic demon thingy! hahaha
...oh, having said that, Howard the Duck RULED and that freakin' monster thing WIGGED me OUT when i was younger!
...actually, it was more the transformation of the character that scared me as a kid more so than the monster thingy, despite that being pretty cool & intimidating.
Clarification: I meant no disrespect to Howard the Duck or its starring monster. :)
