Green Lantern
Gulliver released an eight figure series under the "Super Powers Collection" banner. Each blister card measures much smaller than the familiar Kenner packaging. While Kenner included a mini-comic
premium with each figure, Gulliver opted for a poster premium; a characteristic shared with some European trilingual
packaged figures. Gulliver figures all lack both the hallmark "power action" features and jointed legs. Additonally,
the paint applications on each figure are generally considered subpar. While the Gulliver figures do bare ever-so-slight
resemblance to their Kenner counterparts (some moreso than others), the differences above coupled with an overall
visual disparity lessen the possibility of mistaking one for the other provided a collector possesses a basic familiarity
with the Kenner line.
The Gulliver lines consists of the following action figures:
- Aquaman
- Batman
- Captain Ray
- The Flash
- Green Lantern
- Robin
- Superman
- Wonder Woman
Green Lantern, like all other Gulliver figures, comes packaged without an accessory. Wonder Woman and Aquaman represent the other two characters devoid of an accessory compared to their Kenner counterparts which feature
a trident and golden lasso. Gulliver likely overlooked accessory inclusion as another means of cost reduction.
Gulliver carded figures garner much higher prices in today's market compared to years past, however all figures
sell for much less than the line's hallmark exclusive figure, El Capitan Rey, which can sell for multiple times
the price of the other seven characters. El Capitan Rey's presence in the Gulliver line makes assembling a
complete carded Gulliver set both a challenging and expensive endeavor.
