Made in 2005. The Green Lantern of Penelo continues the growth of the Green Lanter Corps(GLC). This one was inspired around Halloween, when a kid threw the base figure at my head. The base figure is a flashing eye which changes red, blue, and green. My brother in law remembered seeing this character, and after some research we found the reference picture(included to save the time finding it yourself). We further found a "koosh" style ball which was hollow, streachy and had thick bristles, which we glued to the back half of the eyeball. We then painted the back with a glow in the dark paint, both a spraypaint and some from a can. This makes the whole thing brittle over time, and the tentacles are starting to fall off, so we will need to redo this figure soon. We also drilled a hole in the base to use a ML stand so he could "float". Yay Halloween.

Backstory:
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Aquatic life form, resembling a human eye, with green octopus-like tentacles
The Green Lantern of Penelo served alongside such Green Lanterns as Hal Jordan and Tomar-Re during the war against Krona and Nekron.
The dominant species of Penelo, an ocean world, was a race of aquatic creatures. Penelo was the closest planet to its yellow sun.
The Green Lantern had to deal with an impending disaster on his world. The oceans were burning off, due to an increase in the sun's output of heat. The Green Lantern had thought this was some form of natural disaster, and went to investigate.
Out in space, an alien starship had been firing a beam of energy into Penelo's sun. This energy was the cause of the sun's increased activity.
The Green Lantern intercepted the energy stream, which angered the captain of the starship. He ordered his crew to open fire on the approaching Green Lantern. The creature from Penelo then immobilized the ship, but was attacked by other starships.
The bursts from the other starships hurled the Green Lantern into the star's gravity well. Powerless against yellow, he was forced to escape the star's pull.
Returning, he finally immobilized all of the starships, and entered the bridge of the lead ship. The starship was crewed by a group of blue skinned humanoids who had been searching for a new world on which to live. The second planet closest to the star was right, but the sun was not hot enough to warm it. They had energized the sun so their people could survive.
The Green Lantern explained his people would die from the boiling seas, and the humanoids must stop. The process was irreversible, and the Green Lantern was powerless against a yellow sun. The Green Lantern had only one chance.
Out in space, the Green Lantern used all the willpower he had to move Penelo out of its original orbit, into an orbit further from the sun. Now both races would survive.
The Green Lantern of Penelo was active during the so-called Crisis on Infinite Earths.
Sometime after the Crisis and destruction of the newly reformed Corps, he was among the scores of powerless Green Lanterns freed from a slave ring by Guy Gardner.
