But seriously, there will probably be quite a few of the alien Lanterns, should the toy line (and film) prove successful. The GLC is stocked with tons of weird aliens. Some are humanoid, others are nowhere close. There's even one who's also a planet!

In fact, if Mattel does things right, they could hit the Ben 10 market with GL and really cash in.

I've read a fair bit of Green Lantern, particularly some of the more recent stuff. I know there are a lot of diverse Lanterns out there, but there's also a whole heck of a lot that are essentially "basic humanoid" types (in the comics).

As I said, I was applauding the movie makers for making characters like Tomar-Re (who was one of the aforementioned "basic human body with rubber mask" designs in his comic incarnation) more alien in terms of body structure. The only thing I was basically trying to get across was that I felt that decreasing/deemphasizing the number of basic humanoid Lanterns in favor of crazier designs was a neat idea.

If sequels are made and they start digging into the character pool, I'd be perfectly OK with the only "basic humanoids" being the Korugarians (Sinestro, Katma Tui, Soranik Natu), the Earthmen, and Arisia.
