    Super Friends Aquaman!

    The King of the Seven Seas arrived today:

    I really like this figure: the suit pops and is well-tailored. The head is appropriately scaled to the figure, and the sculpt captures the look of the character.

    My only complaint is that the head is VERY loose. Any quick fixes for this?

    Overall, he's terrific---the Aquaman figure I've always wanted.

      I dig that belt! The legs of the costume seem more grey than green. Is that how it looks in person or is that a camera thing?

      He looks pretty good. Can't wait to see more images!
      Expectation is the death of discovery.

        The legs are a very deep green---the grey is just from my camera & lighting.

        BTW, the legs have some scales screen printed just like on the shirt, though they aren't very noticeable.

          Wish there were a few more scales printed on the shirt. It's a bit too much like a bra as is.

              I like it, leg-scales notwithstanding.

              I use vinyl hair-bands around loose neck-plugs, it's worked well for me.

                  He looks great! And I like PNGwynne's idea of the hairband.

                    Just tried the hairband idea and it worked like a charm!

                      ^I'm glad! They're so handy--can be doubled,etc. to the thickness you need. And, more inert than using masking tape.

                        That's a great fix and I find at least two in every room of my house.

                          Man, he looks sharp. Very solid looking figure.

                            That's a beauty. Another trick for the head wobble is to boil it, slide in a pen or marker to widen it, then pop it in the freezer. Once it's cold to the touch slide the pen/marker back out and the plug will hold some of the stretch. I had to do it to a Flash head I just got from their loose selections a few days ago.

                              Wow, that's great! I might try that with my Flash head. My Batman too. Te rubber bands don't work for me (not sure what I am doing wrong). Thanks!
