CAST IN METAL FOR THE FIRST TIME!

JLA TROPHY ROOM: GREEN LANTERN POWER BATTERY PROP REPLICA

It’s what fans of Green Lantern have wanted for years – Green Lantern’s Power Battery cast in metal! Comes with a “one-size-fits-most” (size 10) metal Green Lantern ring that lights up the lantern for 30 seconds when the ring is pressed against the face of the lantern. A resin stand is also included to display the Green Lantern ring when it’s not in use.

This piece can also be activated by an on/off switch and is powered by 3 AA batteries and LED bulbs, all of which are included.

NOTE: Does not charge the Green Lantern Power Ring to full strength. Only the original Power Battery, currently in the possession of Green Lantern, can do that.

This detailed prop replica measures approximately 12″ tall x 9.75″ wide x 8″ deep, not including the handle.

Packaged in a 4-color box, the GREEN LANTERN POWER BATTERY PROP REPLICA also includes a 4-color Certificate of Authenticity.
