MrJ Brick's Arisia Rrab (Patreon)

It’s another Green Lantern post! 🎶 This time, it's Arisia Rrab of Sector 2815! Everyone’s favorite Graxonite! Woo!

MrJ did a pretty solid job bringing this fig to life! That custom hairpiece does a lot of heavy lifting to bring the look of this fig all together, and it’s pretty perfect!

I also feel like the base plastic MrJ chose for her skin tone was a smart one. DC colorists have continually varied her shade from Orange, to yellow, all the way to Light Flesh and sometimes a light spring green depending on the book 🤷🏻‍♂️

Like with a lot of MrJ’s Lantern figs, this version of her costume is also derived from her look in the early 00s. A bit of a modern costume design, a bit of an older version of the character. She’s not a kid, like she can sometimes be portrayed as the young rookie lantern.

At least that’s how I’ve always sort of thought of her that way. But going with this design choice, it’s a good middle ground and solid from a design standpoint! Oh and before I get to far into this review, I enjoy the art choice they used on the collectors card! Mike Maihack’s art is so cute and I love it!

Honestly, I almost kinda wish we could have gotten a fig based more around this newer suit design than what we ended up with. Odd for MrJ to use this illustration for their collectors card when the fig looks nothing like this at the end of the day... But hey! It’s still cool to finally have this character at all in plastic minifig form!

I do have a little gripe with the side torso design though. It’s got that dark green waist indentation on the front and back of the torso that pretty common for minifig designs. But when MrJ goes and adds the side torso design with the same concept, something just looks a little off...

Another thing that’s a little unfortunate, is that the top of the torso lacks any ink. It’s not a big deal, but either committing to the strapless costume, printing the skin tone up there would have been nice. Or heck, even printing green would have made sense too so it would match the collar.

But leaving it white feels like a missed opportunity...

Again that hair piece is great! Brings the whole look together! Easily the standout element!

Although, it doesn't work will all head swaps, as the bangs can be a little long for certain official prints... it doesn't bug me that much, but it could bug some folks.

For around the $70 range when it first came out, it’s a solid fig with flaws. But hey, aren’t all MrJ figs these days! Not perfect, but good enough for me! :)
