How to Spot a Fake Lego Minifigure Green Lantern: Tips and Tricks for Smart Buyers.

Okay, so, I got this idea to mess around with Lego minifigures, specifically the Green Lantern one. I’ve always thought he was a pretty cool character, and having a little Lego version of him seemed like a fun thing to do. Plus, I wanted to see if I could tell a real Lego minifigure from a fake one.

Getting Started

First thing I did was, obviously, get my hands on a Green Lantern minifigure. I found one online, and it looked legit in the pictures. But you know how it is with online shopping, you never really know until you see it in person.

Checking the Material

When it arrived, the first thing I checked was the material. I heard somewhere that real Lego pieces are made of this ABS plastic stuff. It’s supposed to be pretty tough and have a certain feel to it. This one felt right, not too flimsy or cheap. It had that solid, sturdy feel that you expect from Lego. And there’s this thing called acrylonitrile, which is apparently a big deal in making these plastics.

Looking for the Logo

Next, I started hunting for the Lego logo. I grabbed a magnifying glass because those logos can be tiny. On real Lego bricks, you usually find the logo stamped on the studs. Sure enough, there it was, right on top of the studs on the legs and the body of the minifigure. It was small, but definitely there. That was a good sign. It means it’s probably a real one. If the logo is missing, it’s likely a fake.

Putting it Together

After all that checking, I finally assembled the minifigure. It was a pretty simple process, just snapping the pieces together. Everything fit perfectly, which is another good indicator of a real Lego. Fake ones sometimes have pieces that don’t quite fit right.

The Final Look

Once it was all put together, the Green Lantern minifigure looked awesome. The details were spot on, from the green suit to the little power ring. It really captured the look of the character. I even compared it to some pictures online, and it matched up pretty well.

Conclusion

So, that was my little adventure with the Lego Green Lantern minifigure. It was fun to get one, check if it was real, and then put it together. Turns out, it was a genuine Lego piece, which is pretty cool. I might start collecting more of these, who knows? They’re a neat way to have a little piece of your favorite characters.
