With Martin Campbell's big-screen adaptation of "Green Lantern" hitting theaters on June 17, toy manufacturer NECA is in full swing promoting their new line of products they'll be releasing for the film. NECA is a company that licenses movies, video games, television shows, and comic books to produce collectibles for them.

Some of the collectibles being manufactured specifically for "Green Lantern" are plushes, standees, thermal mugs, projection rings, paperweights, and bookends. You can check out pictures of the items right here. They are all very detailed and will be a welcome addition to any fan of the character.

The real treat out of all the products they are putting out for "Green Lantern" geeks to buy up in a frenzy are the posters. At least they're a real treat right now. They give us a great sneak peek at some of the alien members of the Green Lantern Corps. No word from NECA yet as to when any of these toys or collectibles will be up for sale. You can check out the posters and a few of the collectibles up above.

The official synopsis of "Green Lantern" reads "In a universe as vast as it is mysterious, a small but powerful force has existed for centuries. Protectors of peace and justice, they are called the Green Lantern Corps. A brotherhood of warriors sworn to keep intergalactic order, each Green Lantern wears a ring that grants him superpowers. But when a new enemy called Parallax threatens to destroy the balance of power in the Universe, their fate and the fate of Earth lie in the hands of their newest recruit, the first human ever selected: Hal Jordan.

Hal is a gifted and cocky test pilot, but the Green Lanterns have little respect for humans, who have never harnessed the infinite powers of the ring before. But Hal is clearly the missing piece to the puzzle, and along with his determination and willpower, he has one thing no member of the Corps has ever had: humanity. With the encouragement of fellow pilot and childhood sweetheart Carol Ferris, if Hal can quickly master his new powers and find the courage to overcome his fears, he may prove to be not only the key to defeating Parallax...he will become the greatest Green Lantern of all."

"Green Lantern" is directed by Martin Campbell and stars Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Mark Strong, Peter Sarsgaard, Angela Bassett, and Tim Robbins.

The film flies into theaters on June 17 in 2D and 3D.
