Mattel DC Universe Classics Aquaman Figure Review
This is Aquaman from wave 7 of the DC Universe Classics line. He's wearing his blue "camouflage" suit that didn't catch on. Note, he is not a variant of Aquaman from wave 2 but part of another wave altogether.
The figure is solid and fun. Based on the standard DCU body he sports great articulation, ball joint neck, ball shoulders, pin elbows and his hands rotate, tilt and cut waist joints, the great hip joints that allow forward and back and side to side movement without making the sculpt look funny, pin knees and ankles. In summary, a great amount to get plenty of cool super hero poses without over doing it or hurting the look of the figure.
It is a typical super hero body and there is nothing about the sculpting above normal on this one. His face is recognizable as Aquaman with the sculpted blonde hair and something of a regal and tough expression.
They've done a clean job on the paint and there really are no flaws. This costume doesn't compare with the classic but it is interesting. Light and dark blues, black and white all mixed into a watery camouflage pattern. It's very clean and well done. No complaints on the face or hair either.
Last are accessories. He has his trident and it is very nice. Gold with blue highlights and lots of cool little detail it makes a great addition to make the figure more dynamic. It's not some chintzy little thing either it is thick and tall. He can hold in either hand or both. It's good for fighting Black Manta, another figure with a great trident.
He also has a piece of Atom Smasher the collect and connect (read: build a figure) for this line. He's a big dude, about 9" tall, and sports great sculpt, articulation and paint all his own. He's worth it if you're interested in buying the entire line at all. If not then you'll have an extra arm or leg or head just hanging around.
Overall, a really good looking and fun figure. Only if you don't like the outfit does it disappoint.
