The Lantern Corps Collecting Guide: Green Lantern, HBO’s Lanterns & Beyond
The Green Lantern Corps is DC’s intergalactic peacekeeping force. Its members use willpower to create constructs with their power rings. To start a Lantern display, pair Hal Jordan and John Stewart, the leads of HBO’s Lanterns, then decide whether to expand into the show’s supporting cast or the wider Lantern mythology from the comics.
This spoiler-light guide uses independent custom minifigures and keychains from Brick This Now in Singapore. Jump to the HBO lineup, the ring colour chart, the Black Lantern roster or display ideas.
Who should I collect from HBO’s Lanterns?
HBO’s series pairs veteran Green Lantern Hal Jordan with recruit John Stewart as they investigate a murder in the American heartland. BTN’s show collection has seven figure designs across six characters: Hal appears in two outfits. Start with the leads, add Guy for a Corps trio, then add the supporting characters for a fuller series display.
- John Stewart — Aaron Pierre plays the Corps recruit. Start here if you want the show’s central partnership on your shelf.
- Hal Jordan — Kyle Chandler plays the veteran Lantern. This is BTN’s alternate screen look for the same character.
- Hal Jordan (Green Lantern Outfit) — Choose this version if you want Hal’s Corps uniform as the centrepiece.
- Guy Gardner — Nathan Fillion’s Green Lantern gives the display a third Corps member.
- Thaal Sinestro (Prisoner Outfit) — Ulrich Thomsen plays Sinestro. This figure represents his TV prisoner outfit; it doesn’t depict the yellow uniform from the comics.
- Sheriff Kerry Kane — Kelly Macdonald’s local sheriff belongs on the investigation side of the display.
- Zoe Macon — Poorna Jagannathan’s supporting character helps round out the Earth-based cast.
Are Kerry and Zoe Green Lanterns? They’re supporting characters in the series, so put them with the Earth-based cast when arranging your shelf. Sinestro’s prisoner look also belongs with the show display even though his comic history spans different Corps.

What do the Lantern Corps colours mean?
In DC’s comics, the Emotional Spectrum connects seven colours to different emotions or drives. Green represents willpower; Yellow represents fear. Black and White represent death and life and sit outside the seven core colours. The table is a comics collecting reference, rather than a list of factions shown in HBO’s series.
| Colour | Power source | Examples to collect from BTN |
|---|---|---|
| Green | Willpower | John Stewart, Hal Jordan (Green Lantern Outfit), Guy Gardner |
| Yellow | Fear | Sinestro leads the Yellow Corps in the comics. The TV prisoner figure above is a separate design. |
| Red | Rage | Red Lantern Supergirl |
| Orange | Avarice (greed) | Lex Luthor (Orange Lantern) |
| Blue | Hope | Saint Walker |
| Indigo | Compassion | Iroque (Indigo-1), Atom (Indigo Tribe) |
| Violet | Love | Carol Ferris (Star Sapphire), Wonder Woman (Star Sapphire) |
| Black | Death | Black Hand, Black Lantern Superman |
| White | Life | White Lantern Batman |
How do the comic variants fit into the collection?
Green Lantern legacy. Add Alan Scott for the Golden Age. His magic comes from the Starheart, so he works as a legacy figure alongside the Corps. To compare different treatments of Hal Jordan, pair the HBO uniform with BTN’s film-inspired Green Lantern Hal or the Darkseid War variant. The Parallax design adds another chapter in Hal’s history and is a separate look from the show’s Sinestro.
Which other Green Lantern designs can I collect?
Beyond the HBO lineup, BTN carries a separate Superman film design for Guy Gardner and a futuristic Green Lantern 3000 design. Pair them with the show’s figures to compare how the uniform changes across different interpretations.
Who are the Black Lantern Corps members in BTN’s collection?
In DC’s Blackest Night, the Black Lantern Corps brings fallen heroes and villains back as a threat to the living. BTN’s Black Lantern lineup includes 10 custom keychain designs, with Black Hand as a starting point. This checklist covers BTN’s figures; the comics feature a wider roster.
- Reverse-Flash (Black Lantern)
- Aquaman (Black Lantern)
- Deathstorm (Black Lantern)
- Green Arrow (Black Lantern)
- Hal Jordan (Black Lantern)
- Martian Manhunter (Black Lantern)
- Osiris (Black Lantern)
- Superman (Black Lantern)
- Wonder Woman (Black Lantern)
- Black Hand
For a display, start with Black Hand, add a recognisable hero such as Superman or Wonder Woman, then pick a contrasting silhouette such as Deathstorm or Martian Manhunter. Hal Jordan’s Black Lantern listing is a separate design from his HBO and green-uniform versions.
Three ways to start a Lantern Corps shelf
- Two figures: the HBO partnership. Choose John Stewart and one Hal Jordan outfit. Use the uniform for a Corps shelf or the alternate look for an investigation scene.
- Three figures: a spectrum starter. Pair Hal in green, Saint Walker in blue and Carol Ferris in violet. Their contrasting costumes make it easy to read the different affiliations at a glance.
- Four or more figures: a Blackest Night display. Put Black Hand between two Black Lantern variants and give your White Lantern figure a separate spot to make the contrast stand out.
Can I buy these as keychains or display figures?
Many HBO-inspired BTN listings offer Keychain and Without Keychain options. Several comic-inspired designs in this guide are listed as keychains. Check each product for the exact format, accessories, availability and any pre-order lead time before you choose.
