No evil shall Escape my sight. Let those who worship evil's might, beware my power Green Lantern's light!! I'm talking about the one who is not a pedophile not a graphic artist nor a joke... but one of the many Green Lanterns that have guarded sector 2814... I'm talking about John Stewart... to get the Halpedo I need to get a Green Lantern Batman. I don't want to, but I'll have to... goddammit, Todd!
So, John Stewart: an Architect/USMC veteran who became a Lantern. Most casual fans know him from the Justice League Animated series. John's background in architecture and the USMC has given him enough mental fortitude and enough understanding in practical design that he's one of the two best Green Lanterns at using constructs. The other is, of course, Kyle Rayner. Normally, I go for the Halpedo, but I also happen to like John as a Lantern... also I didn't have to get a Batman to get John.

| Batman: I see you brought A Lantern... John was a good choice, though I would've preferred Gardner... Flash: So you would knock him with one punch? Wait, does that make you a One Punch Batman? Nightwing: I understood that reference! Batgirl: Nice move there, Barry! Bringing a third member to even uo the score. Now no one can break any ties and nothing will get done! Arrow: Nice to have you back, Dig! GL: For the last time, I'm NOT DIGGLE!! |
Articulation
John has a decent range of articulation. He can pull off many cool poses and as a flying character it makes me wish he had a flight stand.
4.5
Paint and sculpt:
Since this is a comic book figure, the sculptors at McFarlane are ablento capture a decent likeness of John... He reminds me of someone and it's not David Ramsey.
Paintwise, it does a decent job. The blacks have different shades. The greens have a couole of shades and aren't muted like a CW Archer.
5.0

| Flash: Anyone who likes to eat pussy is part of Team Arrow! GL: The most recent pussy I ate tasted like fried chicken... Flash: Wait, that sounds a bit stereotypical with you being, well, black! OH! YOU MEANT HAWKGIRL! My N... brother from another mother and father! Arrow: If I ate the Canary Sisters, can I use the fried chicken reference? Nightwing: The second to last one I ate tasted like Coriander... Batgirl: Was that furing our break up? Nightwing: Yes... Batgirl: Um, I kinda ate Tamaranean Coriander when we broke up... Nightwing: So, Threesome? Batman: CAN YOU GUYS ACTUALLY STOP IT WITH THE CUNNILINGUS THING!? IT'S GETTING OLD!! I DON'T EAT PUSSY!! DON'T LIKE IT! NEVER TRIED IT!! Arrow: Don't knock it till you try it! Batman: do you like being shot by a Desert Eagle point blank in the face!? Don't knock it till you try it, Oliver Queef! GL: So this is what the League does when Kal-El and Diana of Themyscira aren't home? Looks like the Guardians of Oa are calling... |
Accessories
The usual stand and card that I rarely mention.
Lantern constructs:
Ammo Backpack
Chest Armor
Gattling gun
The Gatling gun is a bit weird says Green Lantern constructs cannot kill living beings. It looks cool and it's something that John would do but they are missing the most important Green Lantern accessory:
The Power Battery.
4.0

| Imagine if McFarlane made Metal Gear Solid figures... with modern articulation! |
Overall
John gets a 4.5 as his final score. He's a really well-made figure that would have benefited from a flying stand and the power battery. Other than that I actually have no complaints with the figure. I'm having as much fun as I did with Batman and this is a welcome change from McFarlane's early 2000 toys.
