The press release that came with the release of the Green Lantern poster boosts nothing but merchandise  for the movie.

Starting this fall toy sections at Target, Wal-Mart and Toys ‘r’ Us will have a Green Lantern section.  What I gathered from the press release is that anyone can wear the ring, which is clearly spelled out on the poster.

Here is an excerpt from the press release:

Mattel is launching a rich and comprehensive line of products based on the film for both kids and adult fans alike. The multi-category toy line includes Basic and Deluxe Action Figures, Figure/Vehicles, Role Play, Playsets, Games, Puzzles and Vehicles. Additionally, each Action Figure toy comes complete with a Green Lantern ring in order for kids to feel as if they, too, have been “chosen” to be a Green Lantern. The Deluxe Action Figures have a special feature that allows kids to truly replicate the elements in the film, and come with accessories that unfold into completely different items for unlimited hours of play.

“Mattel’s Green Lantern toy program is going to introduce Green Lanterns like Hal Jordan and Kilowog to new fans everywhere,” said DC Entertainment chief creative officer and Green Lantern co-producer Geoff Johns. “It is going to be amazing to watch the world discover the Green Lantern mythology.”

The press release sounds cool to me. I want a Green Lantern ring, so my imagination can go wild!
