McFarlane Super Powers Hal Jordan Figure 65 Adds a Silver-Templed Look

A veteran Hal Jordan joins the Super Powers line

McFarlane’s Green Lantern — Hal Jordan gives the Super Powers range a version of the character shaped by his post-1990 look. The most visible change is modest but effective: white streaks at the temples make this Hal appear older, while a new head sculpt draws on Pat Broderick’s depictions of the character during the relaunch. It’s a small update with a clear identity, and it gives collectors a second take on a familiar figure without rebuilding the design from scratch.

Hal Jordan is the second-to-last release in Wave 13 of McFarlane’s Super Powers continuation. He is figure 65, and the first figure in the set to use its own number rather than taking one already assigned to another character. That detail stands out because the new release shares so much of its design with the line’s earlier Hal Jordan figure.

The timing also gives the figure a few points of connection. This is the post-1990 Hal, linking him to the wave’s Cyborg Superman and Eradicator, whose place in the “Reign of the Supermen” story intersects with Hal’s storyline. His release also arrives as a new live-action adaptation of Green Lantern is drawing attention to the characters, much as the line’s Supergirl figure has a connection to her film.

Familiar body, new portrait

The figure stands 4 5/8 inches tall and has 7 points of articulation. Most of the body reuses parts from McFarlane’s previous Hal Jordan. That earlier figure echoed the original Kenner mold, a design the reviewer considers one of the strongest foundations for this update. Reusing it keeps the classic proportions and overall feel intact, while the changed head does the work of distinguishing this release.

The new sculpt gives Hal a slightly longer hairstyle and a face that reads as older than the previous version. The resemblance remains consistent enough to make the two figures feel like the same character at different points in his life. That balance is the release’s central appeal: collectors get the familiar Hal silhouette, but the altered portrait signals the more seasoned interpretation associated with his post-1990 presentation.

Paint largely follows the earlier figure’s layout and palette. The white hair at the temples is the most obvious change. His insignia now has a black outline, a detail that differs from the other figures but looks fitting on this version. The package also includes Hal’s power battery, carried over from the earlier release.

A useful alternate, with one notable gap

For collectors who already own the first McFarlane Hal Jordan, this is an incremental addition. The shared body and battery mean the new head sculpt, hair paint and insignia outline carry most of the change. Those differences are small in number, but they help the figure stand apart as an older-looking take rather than a straight repeat.

The new release may also give collectors another route to a standard Green Lantern body. The earlier Hal was part of an assortment change after the line left Walmart, and the reviewer describes that figure as expensive on the secondary market. This release offers an alternative for anyone who missed it, while retaining the recognizable design language that made the first version work.

There’s a clear collection-building limitation, though: McFarlane has now released two Hals in this updated style, while a John Stewart figure to match the other Green Lanterns in the range remains absent. The reviewer’s interest in this Hal is partly shaped by that gap. A more plentiful standard body could help collectors create a classic John Stewart custom, but that would require their own work and parts.

For display, the strongest pairing is likely with the wave’s other figures tied to the “Reign of the Supermen” storyline, where Hal’s era and story connections make sense together. Beside the earlier Hal, the change in age and sculpt becomes easier to read. Figure 65 is a measured update rather than a dramatic redesign, and its new portrait gives collectors a distinct reason to consider adding another Green Lantern to the shelf.
